Dr. Cop Lawyer

The WB will be launching a new legal show this fall, Just Legal. This is good, because there are so few lawyers on TV.

I'm still waiting for a network to pick up my idea for a show: Dr. Cop Lawyer. It's about a former Navy SEAL that works as a homicide detective and moonlights as a corporate lawyer on high-powered mergers. On weekends, he works as a doctor in the ER of a gritty, inner-city hospital. He's also a single father to two cute, yet precocious kids.

How can you lose with this one? Network executives: make checks payable to "Jack DeNeut Productions".

UPDATE: Actually, most of the popular shows right now on TV are cop shows.

Prime-time viewership numbers compiled by Nielsen Media Research for July 25-31, 2005:

1. "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation," CBS, 13.4 million viewers.
2. "Without a Trace," CBS, 11.3 million viewers.
3. "CSI: Miami," CBS, 10.3 million viewers.
4. "Two And a Half Men," CBS, 9.6 million viewers.
5. "Law & Order: Criminal Intent," NBC, 9 million viewers.
6. "NCIS," CBS, 9 million viewers.
7. "Brat Camp," ABC, 8.9 million viewers.
8. "Everybody Loves Raymond," CBS, 8.5 million viewers.
9. "Cold Case," CBS, 8.4 million viewers.
10. "Law & Order," NBC, 8.3 million viewers.

If you could only find a real Dr. Cop Lawyer out there you could base it on something real. Then you could call it, hmmm... a 'reality show'. Has anyone done one of these yet?
