ER + what sounds like Shadowrun’s “Bug City” + zombie Paul McCrane = good family fun

The funny thing is, a Hospital Drama just like the one Spoony describes here has actually been made as a parody of low budget sci-fi shows that were popular in the 80s, search on youtube for ‘Garth Marenghi’s Darkplace’ and prepare for the insanity.

This is awesome. I think if you were to drop the whole connection to E.R and maybe try to change up the aspects that sound similar to “Outbreak” then you could have a pretty solid epic zombie movie on your hands! Hell I’d even help you if I didn’t live in Scotland.

I know these aren’t too popular on here (compared to your videos) but please write more of them. They’re awesome.

I really didn’t need another reason to hate ER.
Not that I’ve ever seen a full episode…

Is it wrong that so far, every single one of your ideas sounds completely awesome?

Spoony, wtf are you talking about you shouldn’t write screenplays? That is some awesome shit right there. I never watched ER, but I would if that was the plot!

Inserting Zombies into anything automatically makes it THAT much better. Pride and Prejudice and Zombies was AWESOME. It turns something unwatchable or unreadable into something palatable. You think the publishers of PPZ limited themselves by saying they shouldn’t do something like that? Heck no.

You should have more confidence in your abilities to make things better. I liked your version of terminator, it just needed to be fleshed out a bit.

I don’t see a problem with shows running on and on. When you are cycling new characters in and out on a constant basis, it becomes, structurally, less like a traditional US drama and more like a British soap opera. You’re following CHARACTER arcs and when you constantly retire old characters and introduce new ones, there’s no real reason it couldn’t continue indefinitely. Look at soaps like Eastenders, that’s been running several times a week (we’re up to 4 currently) for twenty four years, that’s 3787 episodes and counting. Corination street? even longer. Even Casualty, our long running medical drama, has been running for nearly 700 episodes. Not to say those shows are high art or anything, but some formats lend themselves to indefinite runs. You don’t NEED to re-invent the wheel, you can show similar emergency incidents to, say, 5 years ago, and with a new cast of characters reacting and dealing with it in a new way, it can still work and not bore the audience.

Anyway, that said, lose the “canon” ER connection and I think this could make a cool movie or miniseries. Zombie/monster attacks seen from an unconventional perspective are pretty popular at the moment; Cloverfield (average guy on the street), Dead set (zombie apocalypse and Big Brother contestants), Sean of the dead (zombie romantic comedy). etc, and the hospital setting would be a cool take on things.
