“Justified” is one of the greatest crime dramas of all time<\/a>, but the show certainly doesn’t lack moments of humor. That said, can you imagine a sitcom spin-off set within this universe of cops and criminals? That idea might be a stretch for some viewers, but Timothy Olyphant believes Patton Oswalt’s character, Bob Sweeney, could make it work.<\/p>\n “I’ve always wanted to do a half-hour spin-off of a one-hour drama,” Olyphant told Esquire<\/a>. “When we were making ‘Justified,’ we always said that Patton Oswalt should have had a spin-off called ‘Constable Bob.’ I don’t know why anyone didn’t follow up on that, but that was a great idea.”<\/p>\n Oswalt’s character is a Harlan County constable whose scenes often provide some levity in the acclaimed neo-Western series<\/a>. If there’s anyone from “Justified” who could lead a comedic spin-off, it’s probably Bob. What’s more, some fans of the series are open to the idea of a show about him.<\/p>\n

FX<\/p>\n Only time will tell if a “Justified” sitcom centered on\u00a0Bob Sweeney will ever come to fruition, potentially leading to the next great TV spin-off<\/a>. If it does, though, fans already have ideas about how the creators could shape it.<\/p>\n “They would need to open a Marshal’s office in Harlan and assign Tim due to increased crimes, and have Bob assigned to assist him. Now you have a show,” one fan pitched on Reddit<\/a>.<\/p>\n
