Take your two favorite tv shows, and swap the main characters

 Pages PREV 1 2 3 NEXT
 

This could be troublesome. I mean, the crew of Serenity fighting for the crown in Westeros, and. . . eeh. . . a whole bunch of peoples, some liking each other, some wanting to kill each other, piloting the Serenity?

Now, I have no worries about Mal and his gang beating the crap out of everything in Westeros (and beyond), since, you know, they have River. I do on the other hand worry about how the characters from Game of Thrones would make it in a space ship. ESPECIALLY one which is almost falling apart at its best. When half of them want to kill the other half (ok, not really, but still), and none of them have seen a more technologically advanced vehicle than a boat before. <.<

Yeah, something tells me that Nathan Ford would do surprising well being stuck in Miami fixing Michael Westen's problems.

Also, Michael is a surprisingly versatile spy and could easily compliment the rest of the Leverage team.

Hmmm... main character swap of SG1 and Farscape... wait. Shit.

I have to admit it would be cool to see how Scorpius, D'argo and the rest of the gang fit in with the SGC and what happens when the Ori meet up with the Scarrens and Peacekeepers.

But if we are truly allowed to bend the rules of the universe here... how would Cameron Mitchell and John Crichton react to one another? Considering they look suspiciously alike...

"Party is coming"

I don't think it would end very well if ponies suddenly were in Westeros. They'd either bring harmony to the land, or die horrible deaths/be mentally scarred and go insane.

Dr House is currently sitting on the Iron Throne.
Or perhaps he is hand of the king?
Or the King of the North?
Maybe he wants to retake what was his with his dragons?
Or he is travelling north with a hot redhead.

Just picturing him doing these is quite amusing...

I doubt anyone outside of a Brony will get this!
Its MLP and Firefly

Hmmm, not exactly sure how Eddard Stark would handle the terrorist threats and CTU's awful vetting procedures, but Jack Bauer would make fucking mincemeat of that snivelling prick Joffrey, and then he'd work on bringing down the Lannisters.

I think coop from Megas XLR wouldn't do too well in Game of thrones unless he was allowed to take Megas with him.

I'll swap him with Tyrion lannister, who wouldn't be very good at fighting aliens and villains in an 80ft robot, probably because he couldn't reach the pedals.

XD

Seinfeld on the Enterprise-D? He'd last two days before Riker throws him in the brig. Picard meanwhile would barely be able to stand the company of Elaine, George and Kramer. So, lack of smiles all around.

Rainbow Dash in House M.D... O_o Imagine her popping pills and walking around with a cane. Goodness.

Alternatively, House flying around Ponyville clearing clouds away. O_O

Oh my, I think I've got some writing to do. :3

Not entirely sure what my two favourites are at the moment but I'll pick two from my top five.

Sheldon Cooper would actually make the perfect crystal meth brewer, how he'd respond to terminal cancer is another question entirely.

Walter White would probably end up punching Wolowitz in the face and threatening Kripke with extreme chemistry-related vengeance!

Admiral Giles runs the Galactica well, though several question his focus on reclaiming lost texts about the Cylons. Buffy steps into the shoes of Kara Thrace without much of a problem; her relationships are still a mess. Captain "Apollo" Angel is always there to look out for her. Willow "Athena" Rosenberg is shocked to discover her evil side, but comes around to fight for the humans. Oz "Helo"'s efforts to bring peace to two sides of a warring group works reasonably well, though he gets a bit violent when they are in a system with a visible moon. Spike is an far scarier scientist/politician/president/cult leader, backed up by what may be hallucinations of Drusilla. One-eyed Colonel Xander has quite a few issues, not the least of which are his constant bickering with his wife, Anya. Cordelia is the worst human president in history and pretty much everyone dislikes her aide, Dawn.

Meanwhile, the crew of the Galactica is so happy to be among billions of humans again, they don't bother looking up what they should be doing, leading to the opening of the Hellmouth and the destruction of life on Earth. They are forced to escape in a rag-tag group of space ships to go settle 13 colonies with the aid of a Japanese walking robot.

I see what you did there

"My name is Dr. Rick Dagless M.D. I've been in the town of Twin Peaks for two weeks now, and this goddam crazy shit just won't stop. Also apparently this schoolgirl is romantically interested in me; not that I blame her but I've got to stay loyal to my beautiful wife and half grasshopper son Skip, I love you kiddo."

and

"Diane, the chicken in Darkplace hospital's kitchen is damn fine, and although the town of Romford isn't much to look at the people here are great."

It would be interesting to see how Dagless copes with a town full of actual acting and competent special effects while sometimes having to take a backseat to other townspeople when he is literally the most egotistical Larry Stu (even if it's for a fictional character) in TV history, and Cooper wouldn't notice the stilted weirdness of the performances because a lot of people in Twin Peaks are like that anyway. And neither of them will care about all the weird shit that happens.

But that brings up the question of how to incorporate Cooper into the show within a show element of Darkplace. I'd prefer not to think about it. Red room sequence being interrupted with an interview about how great the creator is, this will require some thought.

I'll give about 20 more seconds before it twigs who it is and what I was trying to make......

Wakikifudge:
Game of Thrones and Community.

Jeff Winger and Tyrion maybe? It's hard to say if either really has a true main character. Jeff probably is on community but I'd say there isn't one in Game of Thrones so I just picked my favorite character.

Anyway, I think they would both fit in nicely in each other's shows. Jeff is a good talker and schemer. He would do well in the political arena.
Tyrion would just bring another dynamic to the study group. He would be capable of delivering the "Winger" speeches and would be his normal witty/hilarious self.

Don't know if the Dean would come by anymore though. Maybe he'd move to Troy...

I was going to type this, but then I saw he did for me!

futurama and the chappelle show? fry might not fit, but dave could reach a new level of future comedy.

SPARTANXIII:

I think you mean this:

Yeah, I know. I just like the My Little Serenity video. I like the one you posted as well.

M*A*R*E: Twilight Sparkle and her friends cope with life, love and loss at an Army field hospital in war-torn Korea.

My Little Hawkeye: A group of Army surgeons learn about friendship in the magical land of Equestria.

...

Hell, these sound awesome.

The ponies would definitely have trouble coping with all that pain and suffering. It's one thing facing down the occasional villain, but dealing with the horrors of war on a day to day basis is another thing entirely. Still, they might turn out all right provided they get past the initial shock. Twilight would probably make a good surgeon, and Fluttershy's bedside manner would doubtless work wonders for the wounded.

There might be some adjustment issues for the cast of M*A*S*H as well depending on which group of characters you brought over. Frank Burns would likely have an aneurysm, but Radar and Col. Potter would have a blast.

Carrie Matheson gets swapped out for whoever you consider to the protagonist of Game of Thrones to be. I think both would be fucked.

Still not getting it....

hmmm... I do not think Grisham would fare well as the Avatar... he isn't in shape, and he hasn't been shown to be able to manipulate elements...

And i feel Korra is a bit too impulsive to be a good lead investigator for a CSI team...

So neither would do very well.

hmmmm... so other shows... mythbusters and uhhh... Iron Chef? ... i watch alot of FOOD network... Somehow i feel Adam and Jamie wouldn't fare well in kitchen Stadium, Nor would the chairman or any of the chefs be great at testing urban myths that didn't involve food...

So subtle, but it's just enough to f*ck with people's heads XD

Here, its very simple:

And now the story of a family that lost everything, and the one air bender who had no choice but to keep them all together. This is Avatar Development.

...but I believe: Michael Bluth can save the world.

Once they figured out how to operate the TARDIS, Sam and Dean Winchester would become the newest threat of every evil thing in the universe. The only difference is that the Winchester's wouldn't hesitate to kill anything that got in their way.

Meanwhile, back on Earth, I imagine the Doctor would be fine as a hunter. I mean, he's handled himself for the past 900 years, so I'm sure he could handle the occasional demon/angel/leviathan. Plus, the Doctor teaming up with Castiel?! All sorts of wacky, "I don't understand humanity" misadventures!

Captain Malcolm Reynolds trades places with Richard Castle?

I'm okay with that.

Dr. House (House) switches places with Jessica Day (New Girl)

I NEED to watch both of these shows right now.

This is too much fun to stop.
Animated shows.
Switch Kyon (The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya) with Twilight Sparkle (MLP)
Hummmm. not a lot would change there.

Reality shows.
Switch Chef Ramsay (Hell's Kitchen) with Chef Ramsay (Master Chef)
Wait. Ramsay with Guy Fieri (Minute to Win It)

Tartarga:
But Rick Grimes would be terrible at making Crystal Meth, he's a cop. That isn't his job, on the other hand i'm sure Walter White would do just fine in the zombie apocalypse.

Damn it!...totally ninja'd....second choice?..how would Mal Reynolds do at cooking meth?..and Walter i believe would do well on a starship, but i'm not sure on the combat situations

So, Korra is going to be the Hand of the King?
She might not be very strategic, but she'd dominate on the field. Robb's very much dead in this situation.
Tyrion negotiating with Amon is something I want to see in this life...

Jack Bauer: *points a gun at Angelica Pickles* WHERE ARE THE COOKIES?
Angelica: *crapping her diaper* Mommy!!!
Jack Bauer: I SAID WHERE ARE THE COOKIES? *points gun at Cynthia* I will kill her! I swear to god I will kill her right now!

*Meanwhile...*
Chloe O'Brien: Tommy, a group of terrorists are holding the president's daughter hostage!
Tommy Pickles: A baby's gotta do what a baby's gotta do! *grabs his bottle and storms into the building*
*Gunfire is heard*
Chloe: ....

I doubt Ted Mosby would do well taking on supernatural creatures in Portland...

Sablestick:
2. Mythbusters x MLP

Maybe they could work out how the butterflies saved Fluttershy, or how Applejack could launch Rainbow Dash.

Oh, and if you take current faves...

Gordon Ramsay: *winds up in Storybrooke*
Regina: Oh, here. *smiles and hands him an apple*
Gordon Ramsay: *tastes it* It tastes like dog crap! *tosses it away*
Regina: ...that was supposed to be poison!
Gordon Ramsay: Oh please, I've had overcooked risotto that was more toxic than that. Now piss off, you donkey!
