Commentary: I was introduced to "Mr. Blue Sky" several years ago in the excellent Volkswagon commercial I think we all still recall. I still think there's legitimate potential for a highly-successful television show in that ad's protagonist, a wage-slave named Bill Briggs. There's even a build-in love interest with the mysterious woman in the office across the street! Mr. Blue Sky the television series will never materialize, but I still maintain there's more raw creativity in that commercial than in 90% of the situation comedies currently on network television. Long live Bill Briggs and his dream of owning a convertible VW Beetle!
