Hijinks and antics in a Nazi POW camp. I wonder what the pitch meeting was like.
Probably something like "The Great Escape with keystone Germans".
Don't know if an urban legend, but word is that the original pitch for Miami Vice was "MTV cops" written on a napkin.

A lot of good ones so far. Honestly I don't know that I could pick just one. However I will add what is definitely one of my favorites: Spenser for Hire.
“It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat.”
