What if...

[danboi207]

What if the credits for a MITM episode were to read:

Written By
Justin Berfield

Produced By
Justin Berfield

Directed By
Justin Berfield

What do you think it would be like? Now, I know we don't know Justin's individual writing style, and we don't really know what Justin's specific contribution to the show's development is, but we do know what Reese is like, and we do know what sorts of things have happened during the episodes that were "Reese-centric :)"

What do you think?

What would an episode like that be? :confused:

Well we would probably only get to see one episode a year because it would take so long for just one person to do all those jobs!!!! lol

Its hard to say because I have no idea how Justin would write a script, and I am not sure if he has ever written. I think we would see lots of humor in the show, much like it does now. Can;t really say though, thats a good question, and its a hard one!

Thats a tough question! All I know is that the episodes produced, directed and written by Justin
would be really funny and enjoyable :D I'm not sure what sort of episodes he would come up with though.

hmmm good question, i think francis would be brought back into the episode :D

A tough, but excellent question, Dan! :)

Hmm, I've often wondered exactly how much say an actor gets as to their storyline or what their character says in a series. If Justin were to write, produce and direct, as well as star in an episode, there would be no question.

If Justin were performing all of these jobs on an episode, it would make it difficult for the episode to be Reese-centric so I would think he would make it either Hal or Lois centric. I feel some of the greatest comedy comes from Hal and Lois' reactions and susbsequent actions when they find out something one of the boys has done.

I think Justin would focus the episode on one of their viewpoints and I bet he would come up with some very funny things the boys could get upto to get them in trouble with their parents. Also, since Justin is so good at physicial comedy, I think he would focus this episode on that as well, with Reese as well as Hal and possibly Ida, as a guest-star. They are all pros when it comes to physical comedy. :D

But no matter the amount of comedy in it, I'm sure Justin would creat a significant amount of heart as well by showing us that the family truly cares about each other and underneath the yelling and fighting that is inevitable in every family, there is a lot of love there too.

that's cool question, i've wondered how it would be like for a long time as well, and i agree with you rye, i think it would be very unlikely it would be a reese-centered episode. i think it would be REALLY interesting to see an episode completely created by justin's brilliant mind :cool: :) or at least a contribution, like brian cranston has done producing some great episodes (e.g. pearl harbour). it would also be a good thing for justin to let more people know his work as a producer/director :)

I think since Justin is now a producer and all.. he has had some influence in how his character is written into the show this season, maybe he gave some ideas to the writer(s).. or maybe it is all my imagination, lol
