"When a new show that&amp;#39;s in the works is announced, I&amp;#39;m usually excited/curious to see if it&amp;#39;ll be something to add to my ever-growing DVR list (The Mindy Project!) or a flop (RIP, Animal Practice). But sometimes, there are shows in production that just seem like a bad idea from the start&amp;#8212;ahem, the new Hunger Games-inspired reality show, for example.\nSo networks, listen up. Here are a few shows that are perhaps better left on the cutting room floor...\nDarcy&amp;#39;s Town\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: 2012 Todd WilliamsonSigh. Jennifer Love Hewitt is producing a modern-day TV adaptation of Pride &amp;amp; Prejudice for Lifetime. I&amp;#39;m a huge, huge, huge Jane Austen geek, so no, this is not exciting news to me. Everybody knows to leave the Austen adaptations to Colin Firth, no exceptions. And definitely not with the same people who brought us Liz and Dick.\nPete Rose: Hits &amp;amp; Mrs.\nPinterestFacebookQuestion: Would you like to watch the 71-year-old former baseball pro plan a wedding with his significantly younger ex-Playboy model fiancee, Kiana Kim? Yes? Oh, well... lucky for you it premieres Jan. 14. Unfortunately for me, it premieres Jan. 14.\nBuckwild\nPinterestFacebookI liked Jersey Shore for what it was, I really did, but I&amp;#39;m not sure that we need to keep trying to recreate that erm, &amp;quot;magic.&amp;quot; MTV should focus more on witty scripted shows like Awkward, rather than the tired let&amp;#39;s-see-how-drunk-and-wild-these-young-people-can-get variety.\nUp All Night\nPinterestFacebookPHOTO: \u00A9 NBCUniversal, Inc.OK, so technically this show is already airing, but NBC has ordered an entire revamp of the series that includes a new showrunner and a switch to a multi-cam setup. So... not at all the same show anymore. I doubt adding a laugh track, thus confusing viewers, is the way to go, but to each their own I suppose.\n[Note: I like Up All Night! I like how the show is now, so that&amp;#39;s why I&amp;#39;m not jazzed about a switch to sitcom format.]\nSound of Music\nPinterestFacebookNASHVILLE, TN - NOVEMBER 01: Recording Artist Carrie Underwood attends the 46th annual CMA Awards at the Bridgestone Arena on November 1, 2012 in Nashville, Tennessee. (Photo by Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic)\nPHOTO: FilmMagicThis is perhaps the most controversial item on my list, but I always have a hard time supporting a remake when the original is, to me, perfection. So, it follows that a live televised remake (to air during the holidays next year) of *Sound of Music *starring country crooner Carrie Underwood seems... unnecessary? It could be really excellent, but I&amp;#39;ll always prefer Julie Andrews.\nWhat do you guys think? What shows sound like bad ideas--or good ideas!--to you?"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
