They could do an episode on one of my former friends.

He killed an informant while being watched by police in baton rouge. Hes been in Angola for about 13 years now. White guy too, grew up with money. Dumbass though, always was.

Law and order and it’s spinoffs use big city locations where they can walk around knocking on doors for witnesses in a city of millions.

Baton Rouge is so spread out. This seems ludicrous. Oh and who here thinks when our brave detectives show up they will be met with the good will of the citizen witnesses?

Also, will there be witty banter while cops are stuck in traffic on the interstate about our new bridge? That would be real.

The story centers around a character named Dr. Annie Dodge, who leaves New York to return to her hometown of Baton Rouge following the sudden death of her father, the city’s “beloved coroner.” While mourning her loss, as Deadline.com reports, Dodge steps into her father’s role to solve a murder “while navigating the complicated waters of Bayou politics, Southern hospitality and a simmering past romance.”
I’ve had like ten better developmental ideas today on the Quad.

This is one of those deals where they come to town on a sunny day, shoot all the tourist spots, then go back to LA and film the rest in a studio.

Then, they get tax credits fro Louisiana.

Which way will they go with it? Will they try to exaggerate the city side of Baton Rouge and talk up the town as a "lively" Capital City and rival to New Orleans? Basically create a knock-off NCIS: New Orleans.

Or...will everyone from down home in Baton Rouge County talk and act like they're from rural Alabama circa 1964.

I'm guessing the latter, since we lost our "beloved" coroner...Man, I tell you no one (and I mean NO ONE) could recognize a dead body better than Redneck McCajunGuy.

I can guarantee you that 99% of the murderers will be white.

"Jump on the interstate we'll get over there quick!"

"There's another wreck on the bridge, I guess our perp gets lucky again."

This show will have to incorporate an ex-military helicopter pilot character like many good cop shows from the 70's/80's. He could save the day when traffic gets bad.

Alright! Let's glorify all the crime and corruption that we have down here.
In the late 60s TPTB in Hawaii opposed a TV cop show being set there. That sbow, Hawaii 5-0, full of shots of bikini babes on the beach, became the biggest marketing boost the state ever had.

15 years later Florida, then seen as a retirement home that also had Cubans and Disney World, had the same attitude about a show called Miami Vice. Again it proved the greatest tourism ad ever, as stodgy Florida became the epicenter of cool.

Both those places already had beaches and tourism. BR has plants and traffic.

Coroner's don't solve murders. They determine cause of death.
