This is remarkably self-serving, I know, but I would love to turn The Beach Boys: The Sitcom into a twitter page. Would I run into trouble for using the band name? People seem to get away with using Seinfeld and Star Trek, and they are big corporate names too.

Brian arrested after sawing the heads off of parking meters and sent to a labor camp where he does hard labor in his bath robe, chain smoking, long greasy hair dripping sweat, while Strother Martin screams, "what we have hear, is a failure to communicate singing shortening bread"!!!

I want Brian's biopic to be the stuff that happens between the first 2 Terminator movies.

So, I guess, if I can't use The Beach Boys name in a Twitter account name, what name could I use that could draw some views?

Why it has only 1 tweet? I thought you'd post the whole thing for others to read over there.

That's what I meant by "whole thing". I think it will draw more attention than post every day new episode. Is that right?

Maybe but the convention of this is to put up a new one every day. My Twitter models are "Modern Seinfeld" and "TNG: Season 8." If I put them all up now, people late to the party might miss the new ones as they go up. While I occasionally like to scroll back to see previous "tweets," I don't think that's the norm.

Gotcha. May I ask - did this skit idea come to you spontaneously or it was sth. you planned to do in the beginning of your BBs fandom?

It came to me during this thread last year - you can see the germination of it on page 2. The beginning of my BB fandom was 25 years ago -- I wouldn't have been able to think this up then. I'm barely able to think it up now.

Just in case you may be interested, and I find that hard to believe, here are a few new Beach Boys sitcom episodes from the Twitter account. I may be winding down soon so please enjoy them while you can.

Brian’s Valentine’s song for Marilyn is postponed after he decides it needs more train whistle; Carl sends 60 candygrams to himself.

When a friend gets married, Brian tries to claim two dinners at the reception; Mike demands that Van Dyke Parks explain his toast.

After Bruce obsesses for two hours about his hatred of kites, his blind date finally walks out; Al’s excited to show everyone his new kite.

St. Patrick's Day episode: Dennis pretends to be Irish to get a girl but ends up in the IRA; a session ends early after Brian forces Al to "sing like a leprechaun"

Carl is up for a humanitarian award; Mike embarrasses Al when he puts him on his shoulders and walks to the hardware store.

The band goes to a baseball game. Dennis catches a foul ball and gives the ball to Al who mistakenly throws it back onto the field.

Brian worries his song about going on an escalator is too complex for the guys; Mike’s beard keeps getting stuck in the garbage disposal.

Bruce purchases a WWII landmine which leads to a very chaotic vocal session; Mike is confused when he spots the Maharishi driving a Ferrari.

When Carl’s birthday cake goes missing, everybody but Brian wants to find out what happened to it.

Mike ruffles some feathers when he pens a lyric about Carl’s inability to get a bank loan; Bruce teaches Al how to leave an adequate tip.

Dennis wonders if he made the right decision in lending his car keys to some hillbillies he met at the dump; four of Al’s teeth go missing

When the band play Sullivan, they face a dilemma when Sullivan asks them to change the song from Dance, Dance, Dance to Study, Study, Study

At a live show, Bruce complains that kids eat too much candy today; Carl is sure that Bruce has been stealing from his candy collection.

The band returns to the Hollywood Bowl after Al finds out he forgot his mittens there; Brian accuses Ringo Starr of trying to steal his soul

The band is being honored in Salt Lake City; Dennis drinks too much and wakes up the next morning married to twenty-eight women.

Bruce refuses to play at a sock hop because he believes the government is trying to steal his shoes; Brian’s new friend is a cactus.

http://smileysmile.net/board/index.php?topic=13419.0

I wrote this 3 years ago, a little embarrassed about it but this was where my mind was then.  I'm so glad the film doesn't enslave itself to the normal tropes that come with biopics.  Title cards for different eras, heavy makeup, hitting every beat in someone's life.

My inclination would have been wayyy more conventional (as you can see) and it would have been awful.  Although, I'm still proud of the way LOVE & MERCY opens.  In my head, that's where the story needed to start - with Brian in bed in the 1970s.  The way the film does though is so masterful, Brian really did deserve this VIP treatment he got.
