I couldn't get through the proposal, but the only thing I can think of is this:- To my knowledge, there have been about 40+ sci-fi comedies. The only ones that can truly be regarded as a success spanning multiple seasons over several years are Futurama and Red Dwarf. Would any TV executive dream of greenlighting a comedy that not only has to overcome the anti-sci fi comedy hurdles to match that, but also tears the guts out of a franchise with 500+ hours dedicated to it? Or to look at it another way, would the showrunners of Law and Order greenlight a police sitcom with the Law and Order name? We all remember how well the Starsky & Hutch movie went down!
Hmm, don't thin anyone's mentioned it, but... the BBC series 'Hyperdrive'. Bringing teh funni to scifi comedy. Actually, I prefer 'miserable failure that was oddly renewed a couple of times', but what do i know? Oh,and I checked imdb, i can't find an entry under that name, whereas at least 5 of those who replied i'm pretty sure do have listings there.
Coming back to this comment, wasn't Star Trek initially compared by Gene Roddenberry to Horatio Hornblower ?
It's been well over a year now, and 2014 is drawing to a close. Can we assume by now that his attempt failed ? He said he'd come back to tell us, of course.
It may be coming up on the Day of the Dead, but that's no excuse for resurrecting a year+ dead thread.
Please don't tell me that you were actually following this guy for over a year thinking that this was actually going to happen, were you?
No. I had this thread bookmarked because of the very interesting information in it, and noted that Zekkie never returned. I wasn't aware that bumping old threads was against the rules.
Generally, if the thread is more than 6 months old, unless you have something of relevance and content to add to it (other than 'hey, look who's not back yet'), it's best to leave it alone.
