Just because it is fun actually thinking of actors (plus I just watched all 5 seasons back to back so it is really fresh on my mind):

The L Word

Bette - Idina Menzel
Tina - Rebecca Luker
Shane - Alice Ripley (I think AR can easily pull of that androgynous look)
Jenny - Celia Keenan-Bolger
Alice - Kerry Butler
Kit - Lillias White

And depending on season:

Helena - Martine McCutcheon
Peggy - Siân Phillips
Lara - Kate Levering
Dana - Tammy Blanchard
Marina - Karen Ziemba
Rose - Heather Headley
Papi - Laurie Cadevida
Jodi - Victoria Clark

Before I even think of a cast I need to figure out how to have several firey car crashes on stage. A few smaller ones spaced out throughout the show or one huge one? Poor Ponch and Jon.

As my favorite TV show is Dirty Jobs, i don't know how it could be turned into a musical. Mike Rowe does sing, though. He has a great baritone voice, in fact.

uncageg, your casting for the Ace of Cakes musical is hilarious. I'd love to see an Arrested Development or Veronica Mars musical, honestly...maybe because I miss those shows so much, but they also would lend themselves to the musical form pretty well. Same goes for South Park.
