My unsolicited and uninvited thoughts:
"The incident" is the key. Something so incredibly outrageous it becomes a theme throughout the whole series. How about a customer pushes Gary the Pharmacist gradually to the breaking point, and he finally snaps when he hears a question about whether a suppository should be taken by mouth, whereupon he tries to de-pants the customer to show him, in an incredibly angry way, just where the suppository should go?
Gary is then put under a restraining order stating if there are any more "incidents" in the future he goes to San Quentin. A scene with Gary in jail while prison gangs haggle over his worth in cigarettes follows. The battle to avoid further "incidents" while being pushed to the brink by customers becomes a constant. Maybe with a prison scene shown every time Gary is about to lose it.
The karate chick totally saves Gary from an "incident" by taking down an idiot customer. The customer is a Republican. Watching a Republican get taken down by a karate chick would be my favorite part of the show.
The black-haired chick can't take any more of Gary at some point and they have a huge fight. Sadly, she decides to give up her acting dreams and apply to med school. Unbeknownst to her, Gary pulls some strings to get her accepted. She finds out and one of those touchy-feely heartwarming scenes the general public seems to like so much follows.
A lot more of the Spanish-speaking chick. 'Cause that Spanish-speaking chick is hot.
Anyway, many thanks to my good friend Jenn Fee for saving me from having to come up with my own idea for today's blog post. I'll resume regularly scheduled programming shortly.

I love the cheesy music in the background. The pharmacy where I work has been playing patriotic music since July 4th. But I must say that the phone doesn't ring enough. It should interrupt there interviews.
I never get the feeling that any of them are pharmacy technicians or that Gary is actually a pharmacist, though.
And what customer actually calls up to say they want their DIAZEPAM refilled? I never hear anything but the trade name, Valium, even if they are getting generic. Most people can't even f'ing pronounce "diazepam" if they see it on their damn Rx.
Anyway it was pretty funny, and Jocelyn is cute, so that helped.
I'd like to see the 2nd installment.
Crazy, but then these scenarios sometimes play out in my head during a fit of the giggles.
