CTU is basically the culmination of the CIA and NSA which sucks because if you do something like that again, everyone will say you're ripping off 24.

True, NSA mainly deals with intel analysis and code breaking.  But maybe invent some special clandestine  field ops unit that deals directly with detected threats.

Or just invent your own agency.

Just remember, you can't do the rogue government agency thing because people might try and claim you're ripping off "Person of Interest"... possibly.

Making up your own is definitely the best, though. =)

But, that wouldn't be an interesting premise. An interesting premise would be to make them the GOOD guys... =)

I liked the action in 24. I never watched in on tv but enjoyed watching all the seasons on netflix. I'm tired of the CSIs sort of.

Quoted from ajr
Just write about 3 chicks and 4 dudes and bill it as The A Team meets Charlie's Angels. Trust me, no one will care about the agency and the plot once bikinis are worn and cars are blown up...

Sorry, I'm a little bitter today...


I say Charlie's Angels MEETS The A-Team!

The A-Team tracks a drug cartel using exchange students as unwilling mules to Miami.
The baddies hold the parents hostage while the kids are sent out.
But where do the kids go once they land in the Sunshine State?
Meanwhile, the Angels go undercover at a special day care run by lesbians.
They stumble into an "extraction" on a kid by the day care's greasy tranny doctor.
The girls get Mr. T to pose as the day care janitor to win the mule kids' trust.

Then, hilarity ensues.

E.D.

Can we use some kind of technology to bring back the angels from the 70s? As they looked then? Man, they don't make angels like that anymore. There wasn't a boy in the country who didn't have a Farra Fawcett poster back then. Cheryl Ladd was a pretty damn good replacement, too!

Exactly what I thought. Then how do I avoid this?
