I recently learned of a Mad Men contest in which fans are challenged to submit videos of themselves doing line readings from the show to possibly win a walk-on role. How fun would that be? You'd get to wear an amazing costume and be a part of a set that is essentially transported to the 1960s.
It got me thinking about other shows that might be interesting for a fan to be a part of. Of course, it would be exciting to be on set for a filming of Lost — not just for the beautiful locale, but also to learn some of the super secretive plot points in advance. I'd be intrigued to check out Pushing Daisies and find out how much of that show is special effects and how much is actually a set. There doesn't seem to be much extra work available on The Office, but it seems like that cast has a ton of fun at work, and I'd love to be a part of that, however temporarily.
What about you? If there were a contest to win an extra role on your favorite show, would you enter it? And which show — or shows — would get you to try?

Mad Men (!) was my first thought, as I've been obsessed with that era for most of my life. The show is a favorite of mine, too. I'd also love the opportunity to be an extra on Ugly Betty and Pushing Daisies.
1Mad Men, House and Friday Night Lights! Go Panthers!
2The Office or Lost.
3The only show that is running right now that I would be interested in at all would be Weeds.
4Mad Men, Pushing Daisies and The Office.
5Pushing Daisies would be fun for the outfit and all the colorfulness of it. I would have loved to work in the candy shop.
Office would be fun because of all the characters!
6OOOOOHHH I want to be on Mad Men! I'm TOTALLY watching Season 1 in HD On Demand RIGHT NOW!!!!
But I have no "performance" talents, so I don't think I'd win the contest.
7Hands down: The Office
8Pushing Daisies, Ugly Betty, or Lost. But if Gilmore Girls was still on the air, I would want to be an extra on that show.
9oooo good point californiagirl. I would have loved to just be on the set of Gilmore Girls. For shows that are on now I would say The Office or Pushing Daisies. I think it would be more fun to be on a comedy as an extra rather than on something like Lost where you are probably just there to be killed off!
10Lost
1130 Rock!!
12Law and Order.....either as a body or the perpetrator.
13The Office or Law and Order
14Either 24 (duh) or Dexter, or maybe the new 90210 would be fun.
15I'd want to be on Pushing Daisies, Grey's Anatomy, or Private Practice. But definently, if Gilmore Girls was still on, I'd totally want to be on it.
16Lost, The Office, Ugly Betty, or Weeds. And maybe Californication. Haha, I like how I say "maybe", as if I'd pass on a walk-on role on any other show!
17Weeds!!
18The Office
19General Hospital (does a soap count?)
Curb Your Enthusiasim (sp?)
Gossip Girl
Reaper
Desperate Housewives
I forgot to mention Friday Night Lights!
20I always thought it'd be cool to be a body on CSI. haha.
Plus, the entire show's about you
I'd love to be on The Office, Desperate Housewives (you'd be sure to wear some great clothes), or Weeds.
Those are the few that come to mind.
21I'd love to be the Patient of the Week on House. Would love to do anything for the Office, Brothers and Sisters, Lost, or Friday Night Lights. Mad Men would be really cool as well, and I'd love to be on Battlestar Galactica!
22I would love to be an extra on Law & Order (any one, but I would prefer SVU or CI).
23Priorities would be:
Chuck
Gossip Girl
The Office
Next ones are:
30 Rock
CSI
Grey's Anatomy
Monk
Pushing Daisies
Samantha Who
Gosh I could go on all day! LOL!
24Rescue Me or Friday Night Lights! MMMM Franco or Riggins
25Prisonbreak..wouldn't turn down the chance to meet Wentworth Miller
26Heroes!
27The Office and My Boys.
28Damn! How could i forget Prison Break? Then i could meet Dominic Purcell
29Ugly Betty
30Lost for sure. As for shows that have already ended? The OC!
31Heroes or BSG!
32Pushing Daisies all the way! Just to revel in all the pretty colors. I would insist on being an extra in the Pie Hole so I could eat some free pie. LOL.
33The first thing that came to mind was, no doubt, Sex and the city. I know, its done.. but who wouldnt love to spend a day in Dior or Channel clothes and Manolo Blahnik shoes?
(Possibly keep me in mind for the sequel supposedly coming out in the hopefully near future? haha)
And well, someone mentionned Grey's Anatomy, and I must say I wouldnt mind being part of it
And possibly "the hills", anyone?
34I'd like to be an extra on the Tudors. Wearing one of those costumes would be cool.
35the only show i want to be an extra on is Prison Break , i'm addicted to this show
36For me it would be:
Doctor Who or Torchwood
Hey, I'd get to finally take my first trip on a plane not to mention finally get out of the country for a while. The added bonus is being on one of my two favorite shows, although hopefully not as some form of monster LOL.
37Boston Legal, Gossip Girl, Ugly Betty, or Pushing Daisies.
38Definitely Lost!
Then "In treatment" too bad its not coming back for a second season
39The Office or Weeds
40Prison Break, The Office, or The Simpsons! I'd love to see myself as a cartoon!!!
41Top five would be:
1.- 24
422.- LOST
3.- Entourage
4.- CSI Miami
5.- Smallville
