One thing I remember from the last board--was it someone here who posted the season 2 ideas? I remember they were so hilarious! The ones I am thinking of included a visit from Christie's mother, and Jim mixing up his Christmas gifts for Karen and Christie, etc. If someone here wrote them and still has them, could you post them here?

I remember them, too -- they were hilarious. The only one I specifically remember involved Jim getting audited by the IRS, because he claimed the exemption for blindness and listed his occupation as homicide detective. ;D

Since we're veering away from the topic of Christmas greetings, I've started a new thread entitled "Blind Justice, Season Two -- The Sitcom" where those who wrote or remember those very funny season two ideas -- or have new ideas -- can post them.

Here it is. What if they brought Blind Justice back -- as a sitcom? Post your ideas for story lines here. I know the clever and creative folks here will have some very funny ideas -- and I hope the original author of the season two ideas will share them again.

Okay, I'll start. This isn't exactly a "Season Two Sitcom" story line, but it'll have to do. I wondered what would have happened if "Doggone" had been a "crossover" episode with House. Here is the result. (By the way, I know Princeton and Plainsboro are nowhere near Hoboken, but humor me -- it's just for fun).

After the Jersey troopers pick up Jim in Hoboken, they insist he has to be cleared medically before they can return him to New York.



Over Jim’s repeated protests – “I’m fine, I’m fine” – they take him to Princeton-Plainsboro Teaching Hospital, where he encounters Greg House, M.D.

When Dr. Cuddy tells House Jim is being brought there, House adamantly refuses to take the case. He tells Cuddy a blind cop who goes undercover doesn’t need his services, he needs a psych consult. House relents after Cuddy reminds him he is still in hot water after his latest fiasco, and he needs to stay in her good graces.

When Jim arrives, House of course refuses to see Jim himself, instead sending Cameron, who is instantly smitten, until she realizes Jim’s blindness is not a symptom of a terminal illness. She reports back to House that Jim seems okay, just some scrapes and bruises. House refuses to believe Jim’s account of having been punched in the stomach and falling over some debris, because “patients always lie.” He berates Cameron for letting her attraction to Jim cloud her professional judgment. Jim, by the way, has neglected to mention that he’s married and, in the role of “Ted the Drug Dealer,” he’s not wearing his wedding ring:



Cameron, Chase, and Foreman insist – correctly, for once – that Jim is not manifesting the symptoms of any known disease, because he’s not sick. House won’t hear of it. Besides, he wants to get revenge on Cuddy. So he proceeds to subject poor Jim to a battery of totally unnecessary tests and treatments, culminating in the obligatory seizure. Through it all, Jim keeps repeating, “I’m fine” – until he isn’t "fine," thanks to House.

House, of course, is still refusing to see Jim himself, but has been watching everything from outside Jim’s room. When Lt. Fisk calls House and demands the return of the NYPD’s hero, House goes ballistic and orders even more painful tests and treatments, commenting that he’s sure a “hero” can take it. Eventually, he can’t resist and goes into the room to speak to Jim, and they trade insults about being a “blind hero cop” and a “pill-popping cripple doc.” Jim, being a detective, has deduced that House walks with a cane and pops pills, having heard the cane when House walks in and the rattle of the Vicodin pills in the bottle. In the end, however, they have the obligatory “feel-good” moment, after Wilson convinces House he and Jim aren’t all that different.

In the meantime, Hank the Wonder Dog has found his way back to the 8th Precinct by doggy ESP.



Assisted by Hank, who takes away House’s cane in a tug-of-war, Fisk, Karen, Marty and Tom invade the hospital and rescue Jim from House’s clutches at gunpoint. As they leave the hospital, Tom and Marty walk behind Jim, who is still wearing a hospital gown – proving they know what it means to have a fellow cop’s back.

Mim 828 - . All the proper elements of both BJ and House were captured perfectly. I'm still chuckling. Wonderful job!

I second this - you did a great job with this! Thanks for including the screen caps!

[bjobsessed]

I love the screencaps too. I don't watch House so I'm sure I'm missing something. But, on the other hand, the picture of Jim being rescued at gunpoint and leaving in public in a hospital gown is really quite funny. I'm still laughing.

I was just thinking. A funny moment if he were "blindfolded" before being driven to Hoboken. Wouldn't want him to give away the location.

Later, Carl

MLM great job, it was very funny. Love them leaving and having his back. hahahahaha

[Eyphur]

I don't watch House either but that is hillarious. I love the ending, I'm doubled over laughing. Great Job!

[doobrah]

MLM, I do watch House and you captured it ! I'd love to see this episode.

(By the way, I'm at work and cannot stop laughing. I think they called the Psych ward to come and get me.)

[hoosier]

I also love watching House and I could picture all of that happening ,especially Hank the Wonder Dog doing his bit in rescuing Jim! And walking out still in the gown! ;D ;D

Okay, y'all, we've had our fun with my "Doggone"-House silliness -- glad it gave you some laughs. But now that we've had our little "frolic and detour," it's time to get back to the original idea of this thread -- "Blind Justice, Season Two -- The Sitcom." I just know some of you out there remember some of those hilarious ideas that were previously posted, or have some ideas yourselves. Your ideas don't have to be as elaborate as the "Doggone"-House crossover; that one just kind of grew as I was writing it. So go for it! I'm not a big sitcom viewer, so I'm counting on you.

By the way, I vaguely recall one of the ideas previously posted involved everyone being shocked to discover Tom is -- color blind! Does anyone remember any more of this one?

A few days ago I thought of a funny scene involving Tom asking Jim what the deal is with the glasses. Jim's answer would somehow take advantage of Tom's gullibility. Unfortunately I fell asleep insted of posting it then, and I don't remember the punch line.

Sorry, I was really tired, it was probably about 3 am. If one of the wonderful writers on the board want to turn it into a fanfic and come up with some great punch line, that would cool.
