Plot bunnies:
(with Vintage characters and everything Vintage-style, of course.)
Agatha Christie-style locked-room mystery, in a big old manor house with lots of suspects.
Orphan: the classic trope of the orphan who discovers that they have a secret legacy or secret mission in life, like Great Expectations or Harry Potter.
Modern-day royalty and scandals: being modern-day royalty sounds very boring, with lots of attending ribbon-cuttings and waving to the crowds. What do they do, and how do they end up in the tabloids?
Blue collar: what if the guys grew up very poor or in circumstances without access to higher education? How would their lives be different? I suppose this is already somewhat true for Sheldon, but what if they grew up without the opportunity or encouragement to enter the STEM fields, what kinds of jobs would they choose? (Could flip this for Penny or other characters, I suppose.)
