They investigate a big case, see?

Two of my favorite shows are Lost - a fantastical drama that uses sometimes unrelated-flashbacks to further either the characters or the stories - and The Closer, a procedural show that can mix up drama and comedy with completel ease - and can do the twists in the investigations as well as SVU, sometimes better. I also kind of enjoy having some shows "reset" each season, like 24 does. So how could you combine all that?

My idea: A high-priority case squad (Closer) investigates one big plot per season (24), and we use flashbacks to learn more about the squad members and the suspects (Lost). It's so completely un-original it's original! And to keep the name short, we'll call it Case. One season they could investigate a murder, the next a robbery, the next, who knows. I even have plans for a few seasons, too, just to make sure that this format could work. I think it just might!
