Only if they get better villains for Batgirl than the actual pilot you can see on You Tube

Would love to see the Leprechaun from American Gods have a spin off, bringing good and bad luck to people through the ages. Great actor played him and the pathos in the episode about the Irish girl who believes in him is brilliantly done.
How strange are the ways of the gods ...........and how cruel.

Oh, it must absolutely have the same campiness and cliffhangers/peril as the Batman series.

I think Brent Spiner needs to be in something. He made a great villain in Alphas.

They need to have the better Bat-traps of the early seasons, none of this throw her in the steam room off camera. Giant Clams and Snow Cones! Julie Newmar episodes!

Mr Freeze was particularly creepy kidnapping swim suit models and trying to turn them into sex slaves (I mean, that was the point of one of his story arcs, wasn’t it?). I think it would make a great episode if he buried batgirl in a giant snow cone with one of his frosty freeze dildos cooling her kitty from the inside out. Wild! Experimenting with his frosty freeze conversions on Batgirl before using them Miss Iceland.

Batgirl- She needs some really over the top villains with some awesome Bat-perils, to bad dildo machines can’t be used on TV
I have a few Dr Who characters, mostly because the show specialized in the monster of the week format and he had a few cuties tagging along.
Romana- she was always Handled perils with aplomb. Like Batgirl she knew how to back talk from a death trap.
Image
The Doctor’s Daughter- She was cute as hell and naive as heck...I could see her walking into all sort trouble.
Image

Amy Ponds- Probably the best legs of any Dr Who companion and who wouldn’t tune in to watch “The Perils of Amy Ponds”

Image

Wrangler Jane from F-Troop- Damn, this girl was cute and spunky. I could see her as a marshal, investigating rustler, bank robbers, railroad barons and illegal loggers....

'Illegal loggers'? Is that because you got wood? :giggle:

I preferred Mary Tamms Romana, she had a sultry sexiness to her.
She looked like she could be dirty :giggle:

I could always see Lalla resorting to the sexy school girl trope to infiltrate boarding school that is fronting a Dalek interrogation facility....

He was supposed to be cast as the Hooded Claw in the live action Penelope Pitstop movie that Reese Witherspoon was thinking about producing. It was shelved after one of the Scooby Doo movies tanked as one of the worst movies ever made.

I always thought she should get her own adventures in the “Wild, Wild West” universe. I think it would be interesting to see what perils Dr Miguelito Lovelace and his dance hall henchwomen might devise for Wrangler Jane.

Without a doubt, Lalla Ward also had the best wardrobe of any companion. Romana 1 only wore the same outfit twice and Romana 2 never did

I would agree about Pond's legs too bad they gave Gillian such a terrible role

The rest of Pond/Gillian ain't bad either

Here is another character that should have gotten her own show
Joy from the Bugaloos.
I hated most of the Sid and Marty Kroft Shows, partly because I didn’t experiment with drugs until much later in life, partly because they usually were bereft of cute female characters. Looking back they had some interesting villains that were potentially interesting, especially because they could not just pull out a gun and shoot the heros. They had to have some torturous way of getting what they wanted. H.R. Puffenstuff had Witchiepoo, Dynawoman and Electra girl had a collection of forgettable villains.

The Bugaloos had Benita Bizarre played by Martha Raye. She was an older female villain who lived in a jukebox with her two anthropomorphic flunkies. I love female villains taking on cute young heroines, and it doesn’t get much better than this. The difference between a talentless performer in silly Costume and real performer is apparent if you compare EW & DG villains with Benita.

The music was horrific and the male Bugaloos were annoying as hell, but Joy was adorable. And Benita was Jealous of Joy and didn’t mind expressing it....

Joy kind of was some of the traits of a superheroine. She could fly and she little pink outfit that showed a ton leg for a kids show. She also was frequently caught and menaced by interesting devices. It would have been the best program ever had the male cast been splattered on a windshield in the opening credits and the rest of the show had been Benita pursuing Joy...
