TV Shows in Comics

I was bored watching TV recently, and had an idea.  What shows that are on TV right now should have their own comic series?  Buffy and Charmed are doing well, so lets look at some not so absurd ideas for comic books based on TV shows:

How I Met Your Mother  
Ok, give me a chance to explain this.  A show that has numerous, numerous flashbacks would benefit from the comic medium.  Being able to constantly look back at issues would be great.  And it would give comic writers a chance to do there own thing without affecting the massive continuity the show boasts.

Castle
It would have Nathan Fillion in it.  I shouldn't need to explain it to you.

LOST
All the unanswered questions could be answered in the comics.  The creators do have comic writing experience, which would be great.  I have seen writers tip toe through continuity and have the series be enjoyable.  There could be something like "LOST Files," where they tell stories about the survivors who aren't doing the major things like Jack or Kate.  I'd read it.

No Ordinary Family
With the show's future in question, this would be a great way to continue the series.  It could easily fare well in the medium, especially with the family looking to take on an Avengers type roll for a potential season 2.

The Big Bang Theory
While this could just be a fanboy's stupid fantasy, this could actually be funny.  Have the boys discovering different universes and alternate realities.  While it is out there for a grounded series, it could be good in the right hands.

Firefly
We have had our miniseries, but could someone keep an ongoing......ongoing?  The universe is so rich in potential, someone connected to the Whedon camp could keep a book like this ongoing for years.

Dexter
Much like LOST, a lost stories type series could happen.  There is a lot of history before season 1 started, and I'd love to see how Dexter became the man he was.  We have been hinted at how Dex and Rita started dating, but that's one flashback and a quick line describing how they met.

Chuck
The perennial potential canceled show could possibly find a home in comics.  I haven't watched the show though, and this is just going on what I have read about the show on different websites.  The writers at IGN go apeshit anytime someone brings up the show being canceled.

Those were just a few ideas I could think of off the top of my head.  Have any other ideas?  Write them down in the comments section
