I thought of ten spin-off ideas for TV shows and movies that wouldn't be very good but also have the potential to be the best thing you'll ever see. So @ anyone in the film industry, feel free to contact me about making these a reality.

Anyway, here they are:

BWW Special Report: Pointless Spin-Offs That Should Happen Because I Said So  ImageChris Harrison as the bachelor on The Bachelor

The final season ever of The Bachelor (will that ever happen?!) should be Chris Harrison's season. He's worked so hard you guys. His job is to disappear for entire episodes only to show up at the end to say, "Ladies, * generic boy name *, it's the final rose. Whenever you're ready." Where does he go all that time? Does he pick the roses himself? I need answers. He deserves his own season. But I vote he should still have to tell himself, "Chris, it's the final rose, whenever you're ready." (ABC, feel free to contact me to discuss this further.)

Emma Stone's friends in La La Land

How are her friends? Are they as successful as she is? Are they still acting? Are they all even still friends?! These are the questions that keep me up at night.

Bokhee the scrub nurse in Grey's Anatomy

Give me a spin-off centered around Bokhee , but do it documentary-style. I want all her crazy stories from the last 15 seasons in the O.R. I want all the dirt on the surgeons. Spill all of the tea, Bokhee.

BWW Special Report: Pointless Spin-Offs That Should Happen Because I Said So  ImageThe "Skirt Girl" in Mean Girls

You know the girl with the vintage skirt that Regina says, "Omg I love your skirt, where did you get it?!" to? Her. What is she doing now? Does she still wear plaid skirts? Did she pursue fashion as a career and specialize in making plaid skirts because Regina said that to her? Do you think Regina bought one of her skirts?!

BWW Special Report: Pointless Spin-Offs That Should Happen Because I Said So  ImageThe Urban Outfitters worker in National Treasure

You know when they're buying new clothes at Urban Outfitters and Riley gets the satisfaction of knowing something about history that Nic Cage doesn't? The Urban Outfitters girl has such an attitude while she's helping them and I just want to know why. Why was she having such a bad day? Why did she take her anger out on Nic Cage, of all people?! Tell me more about her day.

A tubeworker at King's Cross Station in Harry Potter

Take me through a muggle tubeworkers day as he sees so many kids in robes running into a brick wall. What's his life like? How does he process this? Does he question what he sees or is he in denial? Has he told anyone? Do they think he's crazy? Does he still have friends or has he driven everyone away with his tales of strange children in robes, carrying owls, and running into a brick wall between platforms?!

High School Musical but from the POV of a non-singing student

Take me through High School Musical but from the perspective of a student who's just trying to get to class and study for the SATs and doesn't understand why students keep singing at the weirdest times. She's just trying to eat her lunch and cram for a quiz when suddenly people are yelling at her about sticking to the status quo. She's at the basketball game-but wait-now it's a musical because they keep singing "16 minutes" over and over? What is this school?!

The 100 but they meet up with Zenon Carr

That's it. That's the whole idea.

BWW Special Report: Pointless Spin-Offs That Should Happen Because I Said So  ImageThe Vampire Diaries/Riverdale/Teen Wolf but from the POV of a teacher

Give me a teacher who's concerned about why these kids are never in class: They're never going to graduate, let alone pass sophomore year. They literally never turn in homework. Also why does the school always get broken into at night by supernatural creatures but no one ever says anything? Shouldn't this be a concern? Am I the only one who notices? I probably should just find a new job.

House Hunters but likeThe Office

This one is actually really great. HGTV, we should talk. The realtor should look into the camera every time the couple says something stupid like, "We're looking for something off-the-grid but like, right in the heart of the city." Then have a talking head interview of the realtor just bashing on the couple. It's truly the content we deserve.

I've come up with ten brilliant spin-off ideas that definitely should be made. You're welcome in advance.
