Maybe a whole episode sung by all the characters, regular and guest stars. Have Garth, Reba, Dolly, Willie, and others in for a country awards show. Of course, Willie already did a guest appearance on a Monk episode awhile back. Then Shooter can narrate the episode the way his dad did for Dukes of Hazard.
I would love to see Kevin Spacey star as a villian. That would be awesome! Johnny Depp for sure. Alan Rickman-absolutely! As to who should direct an episode. A good name to throw in there would be Kevin Finch who directed 'Se7en'. Now that would be a dark and morbid episode for sure!
they could introduce Sara's brother in this ep. like someone should caught up with in SF. like actor Ivan Allen
