A KLINGON TV SERIES

[Shatnertage]

For starters, it would cost a lot more, because you'd have to do hours of makeup for just about everyone--even extras.

Second, if the network doesn't think that viewers will tune in for the adventures of humans in space, I don't think they'll want to show aliens in space.

You'd have better luck doing it as an Office-type sitcom, about people trying to make a show about aliens in space. Or something like that.

I like Klingons a lot, but seven season show of them alone would get stale. Practically every show would be about them worshipping Kahless, killing enemies, or saying xyz is without honour.

I think the next Trek series should have both an Andorian and a Tellarite as major cast members.

The idea sounds good but as the rest of the posters stated nowdays TV is what the numbers say and number wise a series about the Klingons woudl prolly get low numbers...

Nowadays? TV has never been otherwise. In fact, TV shows survive now with lower ratings than probably at any time in history.

I think a klingon sitcom is a real possiblity

 

[Shatnertage]

How about a "Future of Trek" sitcom?

It's about a few dozen casual fans with no experience in television production putting forth, completely unsolicited, their demands and expectations for a new show.

Star Trek Klingon? I'll forget it and move on
I remember a game of Star Trek Klingon in 90 era, and I hate it

I thought you said a sitcom, not a documentary on fanboys.

Does everything have to be federation ? Why not get a new perspective ? I for one would love to see a klingon tv series. It doesn't have to run a full seven years...but hell...it would be a new approach to one of trek's most recognized. What do you fans think ?

Yeah, i agree why can't we see the Klingon version of their history. That show would be a god send for people like me who love space battles.

What he is trying to say is that instead of having some old trek guy come up with a new show, which would probably take a long time. just have some fans that like each show and have them come together and come up with a series that all of us would like in half the time.

You don't want someone who likes star wars running trek do you. so it would have to be a Trekkie.

More like 10.

Yeah, I would. Star Trek 2009...

Okay well then the empire would invade the federation and Jedi and star fleet captains would go at it. wonderful show. i can see it already.

Oh sorry. Keep doing that.
I am getting into a debate in the WHAT WILL THE 22ND CENTURY LOOK LIKE. so I still had my fighting face on.

I'm sick of Klingons. I would watch a Bajoran series, but not this one. Besides, a Trek series not about the Federation would get cancelled rather quickly.

 

[Deckerd]

A one-off documentary about humans and Earth by a Klingon film crew and commentator would be great fun.

 

[Gepard]

I've always found Klingon-focused anything tiresome and tedious, so I'm not supportive of this idea. (That's probably why I was never much of a fan of DS9.)

 

[Sxottlan]

As pointed out, it would only appeal to a small group of ST fans. Better to make it some kind of novel series, similar to John Ford's take on the Klingons, IMO.

And the thing is, the Gorkon book series wasn't even able to make it past four novels. And the last book was a reboot of sorts that tried to broaden the scope of daily Klingon life. Turned out to be a snoozer. I don't know how they thought that would actually bring in more readers with the stories they focused on in the last book.

So if it can't even survive as a book series, which already has far fewer readers than the last season of Enterprise had viewers, I don't see a Klingon television show remotely working.

Or a one-off documentary about a red shirt on the enterprise

Actually it could be any ST setting. It's just the idea of Klingons making the documentary that makes me grin.
