[The video feed pans on to a well dressed, perfectly presented guy offering a winning smile as he sits in the booth of some fancy bar, all wood and leather, while nursing a glass of whiskey. Someone else is holding the camera and there's enough shaky cam and unfocused zooming to make the Bourne franchise jealous.]

Hey there. Do you like watching a ridiculously good looking man do law stuff? Want to watch him play some nondescript puzzle game on his phone for an entire hour? If yes, then have I got a surprise for you. If no, watch it anyway because apparently I need the ratings.

Jeff Winger here, Lawyer at Large and city hero bringing you a brand new series about me. [Another oh-so charming smile and a dramatic point to the camera.] And law!

Danger! Intrigue! Thrills! These are some things you'll probably never see in my show, but watch it anyway because hey, you might just strike it lucky. And ladies, you might just strike it lucky with me.

[Smirk smirk smirk, pause and then a glance off camera to someone, smugness replaced with a curious furrow of brows.] You guys do know I was disbarred ri-- [And the feed ends.]

[It's okay, he can still talk his way out of everything ever, disbarment or no.]

Background noise? Is that all I am to you? Background noise?

[tadeadshi]

Won't know until the show airs. Especially if you're only going to be playing puzzle games for an hour.

[Which is to say get out there and do something awesome, Mr TV Lawyer.]

[ferrisbuellean]

Apparently I have to be more entertaining. :(

[tadeadshi]

[God why can he never get away from emoticons.]

Yep. You've got entire tv networks to compete against here if you want ratings.

[ferrisbuellean]

[Because they're amazing.]

Look if Teen Wolf can get ratings then anything can.

[tadeadshi]

[... Someone finally got him. How can he ask what that is without making an embarrassment of himself.]

I'm sure it has its good points that get it ratings.

[ferrisbuellean]

Are you serious? Wait, am I talking to a teenage girl right now?

[tadeadshi]

Someone that doesn't watch much tv.

[ferrisbuellean]

Ok I might be able to forgive you. You can just turn on for my show and avoid everything else.

[tadeadshi]

[See? Jeff you should be glad he didn't know that weird show okay and that he's considering turning yours on even for background noise.]

Sure, but I'm still watching tech Ted talks.

[ferrisbuellean]

[He's totally honoured.]

I'll allow it. They still have those here? Awesome.

[tadeadshi]

Not as many that I've been able to find, but yeah.

Guessing that marks you from the 2000s at least.

[ferrisbuellean]

2015.

I forgot there's different times and stuff people are from, right? So how about you?

[tadeadshi]

Yeah it's a learning experience at least.

2122.

[ferrisbuellean]

Wow. Ok. Any lightsabers yet?

[tadeadshi]

Not quite. Pretty sure a friend of mine is trying to get there.

Maybe.

[ferrisbuellean]

Maybe the world just isn't ready for them.
