Dear Hollywood: Stop trying to make Christian Slater headline a TV show. The funny thing is that I just checked my calendar and it's 2011, not the late 80s/early 90s. I'm sure he's a swell guy and all, but he is NO LONGER FAMOUS and, more importantly, not really that talented. His subpar Jack Nicholson-shtick might have been enough once, but it's not enough to keep greenlighting shows for him when they keep failing. Also, you're seriously going to put him alongside the lovely-yet-showkilling Brett Harrison? Who also has two failed headlining-shows under his belt in the last four years? Do you WANT 'Breaking In' to fail? Well, it failed!

Dear Hollywood, Please leave old movies alone.Also, while it's great that you've discovered teen books ( Twilight, Hunger Games), it would be great if you made more movies geared toward adults who don't want to sit through a movie starring only teens, or too loud 3D films, or vampires, or only white casts. Sincerely, q99

And this: making everything in 3D does equate to improving a movie! If the movie sucked in 2D, it will still suck in 3D. No, actually more, since tickets to 3D movies are more expensive.

Co-signed. I wanted to see Voyage of the Dawn Treader, but not enough to pay $16.50 for the privilege.

Dear Hollywood,
As much as I have enjoyed several well-written "high concept" television dramas, there are those of us in the 18-49 demo who would be equally appreciative of a well-written family and/or relationship drama that does not feature teenagers. Those of us who grew up watching and enjoying shows like "Sisters" and "Life Goes On" would happily tune in. If you want to set said show in a quirky small town (i.e., "Picket Fences" and "Northern Exposure") that would be fine by me too.
I would also like you all to consider the number of U.S. viewers who watch British period dramas and perhaps at least try your hand at American period dramas that aren't set in the 50s or 60s. It would be a refreshing alternative to procedurals, legal and hospital dramas. Also, (and I know this may be asking a lot) please approach the historical black experience honestly and intelligently and write complex characters who aren't "magic negroes."
Finally, instead of making yet another mediocre romantic comedy featuring one of the many interchangeable female leads, why not try to make some modern film noir? It would be really nice to see a female lead dealing with intrigue and challenges not solely centered around her desire to mate. And, please, don't make said challenges at all related to being kidnapped, stalked, abused or otherwise stereotypically "in jeopardy".

Dear iClaudia, Marry me and we can watch Downton Abbey (and pretty much anything from Masterpiece Classic) together. (I should warn you that I propose frequently to food so I may already be married to French toast.)

LOL! How about you, me, the French toast and Brendan Coyle living happily ever after?

Dear Hollywood: Why do you insist on showing ads for the new fall shows the second the current TV season is over? It's like having Back to School sales in the middle of June.
