Fantasy Week of Prime Time TV

This is a follow up to my original post from April 3, 2001, "A Fantasy Day of Live TV." In this post, I consider how the writers of Prime Time TV could purposefully intergate one shoe scenarios into some of their shows. Here are a few script ideas for some of my favorite shows, one for each day of the week. To my knowledge, despite the fact that each of these shows have attractive women who wear pretty feminine shoes, none of have ever had a legitimate shoe loss situation.

I invite and challenge everyone to submit your own TV show plot ideas in a reply to this post. My apologies to those who are unfamiliar with American television. Please feel free to submit plots to your own local TV shows.

Sunday: Alias (ABC 9PM ET)

Series star, the beautiful double agent, Sydney Briscoe, is working undercover while attending a party at a banquet room at a large hotel in Los Angeles. She in disguise and dressed in a red evening dress and matching red mules. An accidental visit to the kitchen leads her to discover an underhanded scheme being acted out. Her plans to investigate it go awry when she is discovered and has to run. While going down a long hallway she kicks off one of her mules by accident. But she takes advanatge of the opportunity and picks up the mule and throws it at her chaser and it hits him in the center of his forehead and knocks him out. She continues to run in only one shoe and escapes to her sportscar in the parking deck. Meanwhile, her father and fello agent, Jack, discovers the agent whom she knocked out and he collects her shoe and destroys it to remove the evidence against his daughter. She returns home with her disguise removed but still wearing one shoe. Her roommate, who knows nothing about her being a spy, teases her about partying too hard.

Monday: Everyone Loves Raymond (CBS 9PM ET)

(Note: This show offers a good opportunity to re-enact a popular Joke/Story found in Readers Digest and all over the Internet that involves a husband and a wife and a humorous shoe loss.)

Series star, the often goofy husband, Ray Barone attends an office party after work at the New York newspaper where he works as a sports columnist. One of the secretaries has a bit too much to drink and is not in a condition to drive. Ray is designated by his co-workers to be the one to take her home. He first declines since this is a woman who, in the past, his wife, Debra, has teased him about having a crush on. Ray had made the mistake of telling his wife about the attractive new secretary. Ray leads her to his car - she is visibly carrying her pretty high heels in her hand then - and drives her straight home. That night, Ray's parents had agreed to take care of the kids and let him take Debra out to a nice dinner out at the Hamptons on the end of Long Island. Debra is dressed nicely with a pretty dress and a pair of dressy high heel mules. Not used to such high heels - and especially mules, Debra takes of her shoes in the car and stretches her feet out in front under the dash, out of Ray's view while driving. A little later, Ray looks down and sees one of Debra's shoes on the floor unoccupied and thinks it is one of the shoes the secretary left behind when he took her home. Ray devises a plan to hide his afternoon innocent escapade. First, he rolls down the window part of the way noting that the night air felt nice and cool. Debra does not object and she rolls down her window a little as well. By now, they are on a sparce section of a two-lane highway and it is dusk but not yet dark. Then, Ray points to the right for Debra to look at a non-existant deer on the side of the road. When she looks, Ray quickly but carefully reaches down and grabs the apparently incrimitating shoe and tosses it out the window, not looking to see where it fell. Fifteen minutes later, they arrive at the restaurant and Debra seems nervous as Ray starts to exit the car. She asks Ray if he's seen her shoe and soon they are looking all over the car for it. Ray has some lame ideas of what happened but Debra soon gets upset then accuses Ray of losing her shoe somehow. Ray finally confesses his 'crime' and Debra is mad he did not think she would trust him concerning the secretary. Ray apologizes and asks Debra if she's ready to eat - thinking she will go ahead and enter in one shoe. Debra vehemently refuses to go in wearing one shoe and demands they go back to look for it. Ray tries to remind her that Cinderella did not mind being in one shoe and she became a princess. By now it is dark and finding the shoe seems impossible. Ray wants to make an attempt so he claims a particular area is where he tossed it. They pull off the side of the road, unknowingly it is very muddy. Ray gets out with the flashlight while Debra sits inside and sulks. He sees it is muddy and the shoe is not in sight so he gives up, promising to buy Debra a replacement pair. Debra is ready to concede that the only harm is missing dinner. Then Ray tries to leave and the wheels spin deep into the mud. They have to call the auto club and get a tow. Ray and Debra have to be taken home with her still missing one shoe. Ray's nosy parents are of course curious about how she lost the shoe but she and Ray refuse to tell them.

Tuesday: Frasier (NBC 9PM ET)

Radio Psychiratrist, Frasier Crane and his show producer, Roz Doyle fly to Denver to attend a one day radio talk show syndication conference. Both attend well-dressed and Roz wears a new pair of 4" open-toed black slingbacks with gray nylons. They have to spend an afternoon in a convention hall at a booth where potential advertizers and radio station program directors stop by to talk with them about their show. Over time, Roz allows her slingbacks to slip down to where she is wearing them like backless slides. This facilitates shoeplay and dipping from behind the table they are standing behind, but still in view of some. At one point they get so uncomfortable that she decided to ditch them all together and slips them under the table. Frasier expresses his dismay over her lack of professionalism and a person passing by hears his comments and glances under the table and sees her abandoned shoes. Later, taking the opportunity when Frasier is talking to someone and Roz is busy getting something from the back of the booth, the person who overheard Frasier before quickly bends down and takes one of Roz's shoes form under the table and leaves the convention hall. A couple of hours later, Roz and Frasier prepare to leave and she is horrified to find a shoe missing. She and Frasier get on hands and knees on the floor to look for it to no avail. Frasier suggests she go up to her room for a replacement pair, but she did not bring any other dress shoes. Roz is forced to remain in one shoe walking out of the convention hall and into the banquet room for dinner. They happen to acquire several new sponsors and new syndication markets from men who likes the sight of Roz in one shoe.

Wednesday: Ed (NBC 8PM ET)

Ed, Carol, Molly, Mike, and Nancy are in the smiling goat enjoying hamburgers and beer, just chatting about nothing. The conversation changes to alternate professions each of them would do if they had unlimited time and money. During the conversation, high school English teacher, Carol, is dipping and dangling one of her pretty high heel pumps. It is bowling alley lawyer, Ed Stevens's turn to reply and he sees Carol Vessey's dangling shoe and he reaches down and takes it off and begins to describe it as if he were a QVC on-air salesman. In turn everyone else takes their turn describing Carol's shoe. When physician, Mike, finishes his fun description, he non-chalantly places it on the tray of an unassuming barmaid who takes it away. Carol protests and asks Mike to get it back for her. It tales a few minutes to track down her shoe.

Thursday: Friends (NBC 8PM ET)

Several months after the birth of Rachel Green's daughter, romance blossoms again for her and the baby's father, Ross Geller. Monica and Chandler Bing, who are thinking about having kids themselves, offer to keep the child while Rachel and Ross go away for a relaxing weekend. They drive up to Boston and are greeted by several mishaps. They have to change a flat tire on the way, they get in a large traffic jam and miss the first night's dinner reservations. The nect day, it rains and a few other things happen. Finally, they have a nice dinner at a restaurant downtown and take a walk through Boston Commons. As they share a romantic kiss on a bridge over one fo the ponds in the park, she involuntarily lifts her left leg and her high heeled mule slips off and falls between the railing into the pond. It is dark and they cannot find the shoe. They are forced to walk back to their hotel with Rachel one-shod.

Friday: Providence (NBC 8PM ET)

Series star, Dr. Syd Hansen is shown in an opening series dream having just danced and kissed her Attorney friend, Owen Frank, who helped her get out of her malpractice suit. Her mother gives her advice as she ignores it and loses one of her shoes before riding away in a carriage. She wakes up and looks around and sees that one of her high heel pumps is missing. A flashback reveals that the night before, she and the attorney were on a date and she got one of her shoes stuck in a grate in the sidewalk downtown after dinner. When he pulled on her shoe, the heel broke off. Syd, tossed the shoe away in the gutter and he eventually took her home one-shod.

Saturday: That's Life (CBS 8PM ET)

(Note: Sadly,this show has been cancelled by CBS, but consider this scene as a missed opportunity.)

Series star, Lydia DeLuca is having a busy day trying to juggle her waitress duties at the family restaurant and school at the community college. To complicate matters, her old car is in the shop again and she is having to rely on public transportation to get to and from class. She finishes a shift at the restaurant and hurriedly changes into school clothes including a pair of loafer mules. She gets to the bus stop just as the bus is starting to pull out so she begins to run. The bus slows down enough to let her board, but as she does so, she kicks off her right mule into the path of the bus' right wheel. it happens so fast that Lydia can do nothing but watch as the bus pulls out and flattens her shoe. She had no spare time to get a new pair of shoes and wait for the next bus since she had a test to take in class that day. Therefore she was relegated to ride to school and walk into class missing a shoe, which garnered a lot of attention.
