Most TV shows cannot read any fan fiction or accept unsolicited scripts. Too many legal problems can happen about where a story idea came from, so they have to avoid these things altogether. If I remember right, KicsterAsh tried to get Dan to read it, but Dan had to turn it down for that same reason.

To give you an idea about how big of a problem this is, J. Michael Straczynski almost had to abandon an episode of Babylon 5 because a fan had posted a very similar story idea earlier. But that fan did something unique: he got a statement notarized saying that he released all rights to the story idea and he gave that to JMS. The episode could then able to be made.
