Writers if you are reading this:

Here are some ideas that might catch the attention of the entertainment news shows:

1. If you have any connections to A-list celebrities, perhaps bring them in to play one-time characters for a series of special episodes (à la We Love Lucy)?

2. Since Disney may have access to the 21st Century Fox franchises (if the merger is approved by the Justice Department), that could be a good source of current popular celebrities who want to guest star on TV (Ryan Reynolds? Chris Evans?) or crossover with other fictional characters (Avatar, Simpsons, Family Guy, Kingsman)?

3. Experiment more with the format - an all animated episode?, an outer space episode?, a backwards timeline episode?, an all comedy-parody episode?, a live episode?, an episode where viewers vote for something on the show (such as a character getting killed off, who gets romatically involved, etc.)?

4. Flirt with more risqué or violent themes - such as the sexual mutilation of Theon Greyjoy in Game of Thrones

They wouldn’t have access to A-list celebrities, it isn’t in the budget of this show. I doubt they’d do an all-animated episode because that would take too much time. The other suggestions would have been better with the previous cast.

Though, making OUAT TV-14 could be a good idea, but I doubt they’d go anywhere near the darkness of Game Of Thrones because it’s supposed to be a campy series.
