Two ideas for television

1. "Waylon and Willie and the Boys"
Originally a vehicle for Willie Nelson and Waylon Jennings. The pair star as themselves in a college-themed program. Willie has taken a job at an exclusive Texas boys' school as housemaster for a dormitory of misfits he calls 'the boys'. His old buddy Waylon shows up, having been kicked out of the house by wife Jessi Colter. Waylon moves in and hires himself as "handyman", although he tends to cause more problems than he fixes.

With the death of Waylon Jennings this is unfortunately no longer feasible. This could be re-tooled into an animated "Simpson's" spin-off series featuring Waylon Smithers and Groundskeeper Willie.

2. "Joni Loves Tchotchkes"
Superstar folk-singer Joni Mitchell gives up her glamorous Hollywood life to pursue her true passion: collectable ceramic figurines. She opens a smallboutique in her home town Alberta, Canada. Business is slow, but her days are filled with colorful locals. Think "Sanford and Son" with curios.
