If happy little bluebirds fly beyond the rainbow, why, oh, why can't Ally?  When her Wicked third grade teacher shows up, Ally trips back to the land of Oz.
I ignored this show for the first season or two it was on, but then I caught an episode in the midst of a weird image of Ally McBeal, in a mini-skirt dress suit, swimming through water and somehow ending up in a garbage dumpster.  I was hooked.  Calista Flockhart!  And then Nelle (now, Mrs. Ellen Degeneres), Ling, and Georgia.  The courtroom never did look so hot.  Trust me on this...I'm not just assuming here.  But then all that hotness-er...ingenuity that influenced a number of other shows (such as Scrubs and even Family Guy) just got bizarre and uninteresting.  By the time they called in Jon Bon Jovi to save the show, I tuned out, and the show was already dead...and really, Jon Bon Jovi?  Just even more bizarre...especially with his short hair.  Even now, any child of the 80s can't see him with short hair and not think that there's at least a few pounds of girly fluff missing.
Sometimes life imitates art, and sometimes art is influenced by life.  Sometimes the two spiral around one another into a twisted blur.  That's what happened here.  I picked up on this show being heavily influenced by The Wizard of Oz (not kidding), and I also noticed that the third grade was mentioned more than once as being extremely formitive to Ally's character.  I thought back to that age...and remembered a Wicked Witch.  But I won't mention her by name...to speak ill of the dead is disrespectful.  I'm assuming she is dead by now, and I respect that. Well, that was cathartic...moving on as we forgive those who trespass against us and something about bread. Immediately after wrapping up this script I began a follow up episode I never finished.  It's grown into the premise for my next novel.  Gotta remember to change the lawyer's name from Ally to Becca, but whatever her name, I still imagine her as Calista Flockhart.  Can't blame a guy for that.  Here's a link to the pdf version of this script.

By the way...I know, I know...this is completely unnecessary to say, as it definitely won't ever be produced, but the script is registered (WGA 765007) and protected under copyright. If you steal, copy or otherwise claim it or its parts as your own, I'll get all Moses on you, hunt you down and take your first born. Okay, maybe I won't do that...obviously I don't have it in me to harm the innocent, and I certainly don't need any more kids. But, man will I be crabby.
