Ok your Bill Gates, what Personal Episode of Anything would you Commission ?
These David Brent videos made specifically for Microsoft got me thinking. Now of course with these particular vids, Bill gates really only needed to pay Ricky and Stephen for their time, there wasn't anything fancy about the set, but this is Bill gates we are talking about.
If you had that much money and could commission whatever tv episode you wanted for your private viewing, what would you choose ?
E.g. you could choose an episode of Alias but you wanted to bring in Rodney Mackey from SGA to work alongside Marshall and you could bring in Jack Bauer from 24 to work alongside Jack Bristow.
Now sure some actors , directors etc may have objections artistically but the bottom line is that money talks and EVERYONE has a price. Especially if the episode was not going to be aired, i don't think you would find many actors and directors who couldn't be bought.

My answer has to be Newsradio, even though it's just not the same without Phil. Those bastards at NBC left Matthew and Dave alone together forever. It haunts me.
Wonderfalls is a very, very close second.

About 5 more FULL seasons of Arrested Development and Keen Eddie. The full conclusions of both Deadwood and Carnivale.

I'd commission the full remaining run of "Deadwood" as well as "Freaks and Geeks". I'd also revive "Homeboys In Outer Space" just to flaunt my power.

I'd probably do a series of "wrap up" shows for all those series that left us hanging... Space ABove and Beyond, Nowhere Man, John Doe to name a few or more realistically I'd dump it into FireFly. Alternatively, maybe I'd blow the money on getting Jeremiah season 2 out on DVD.

I'd commission a second season of My So-Called Life, which would include a time machine to make Claire Danes and Jared Leto teenagers again.
And I would bring back Deep Space 9.

Somehow I doubt that Lisa Whelchel would go for that, with her religion and all.

For me I would have a few more seasons of scrubs made. I wouldn't mind seeing some more Jeremiah. Ive watched most of season 1 but cant seem to find the dvds of this show anywhere.
