(after a quick scan through the "Sci-Fi Channel Encyclopedia of TV Science Fiction")

 

Space 1999, in which everyone that isn't killed by the initial nuclear explosion on the moon either dies slowly of radiation sickness or quickly when the moon falls into the sun.

 

Quark, starring Jon Stewart as Adam Quark.

 

Salvage-1, in which the first commercial mission to the moon, sent to salvage the equipment left behind by NASA, finds the REAL purpose of the moon landings... (insert appropriate X-Files music).

Greatest American Shazam Isis Star Wonder Misfits Bionic Manimal Invisible Spider Hulk Night-Stalker Automan Strange Destroyer Master Ninja Hero from Atlantis

 

My dream TV series and occasional campaign background. All of the American 70s and 80s TV Superheroes and near-superheroes, facing the Supernatural menaces that plagued Kolchek as well as their own foes, all of the characters coordinated by the OSI, with a million dollar per episode budget and Sam Raimi and Francis Lawrence as the producers and show-runners.

 

 

Edit: Missed Mathew Star and Starman, so added "Star" for both of them.

I'd buy that series.

The Facts of Life: Same premise, but it airs on Cinemax, only at night.

 

You want to see Mrs. Garrett and Natalie get together?

Re: Re-envisioning

 

You challenge, should you decide to accept it, is to take the worst TV series or movie you can think of, and "re-envision" it so that it was good.

 

I'll start. Punked. In my re-envisioned version, every episode ends with the guest star/victim kicking the crap out of Ashton Krutchner.

 

While the staff stands by and laughs.

 

I even have a title for you:

 

Punched!

The X - Files Redux: wherein the most useless agent in the history of the FBI is sh*tcanned for incompetence in Episode 1. His cute redheaded partner moves on to the Florida field office to work intimately with the 'Silk Stalkings' team

 

 

The Master Redux: the ageing ninja cowboy ditches the lame sidekick and takes on a cadre of cute boys and girls for some strict post-watershed discipline

DOOM 2:

Similar to Doom, but without the virus, but with the original hell and demons. Also this time around the writer and the director have been replaced with people who have actually played the game and have experience with horror movies.

Not a series, but a single episode.

 

America's Funniest Home Videos. The episode where someone explains to Bob Saget that

He

Is

Not

Funny.

 

So he leaves show business forever.

 

I SOOOOOooooo much want to see that.

Everything's better with Muppets.

 

Except maybe that Cinemax version of Facts of Life.

 

I believe that would be the show, Avenue Q, known for the songs, "If You Were Gay", "The Internet Is For Porn", and "You Can Be As Loud As the Hell You Want (When You're Makin' Love)". Now playing at Wynn Las Vegas, and some place on the other coast.

How about:

 

CSI: Anywhere that's actually filmed in the host city for longer than 2 weeks a year. Word of advice, people, there are no large hills in Miami, and Las Vegas doesn't have any warehouses with "Sunkist" painted on it. There are a little too many trees, and what's with those strange filters to change the smog colors?
