That HBO dig up the old BattleTech license at it's prime and make an awesome sci-fi political backstabby show out of it. (And that they do their own thing with it, because there's no denying the universe went to poo poo in the late 90s). Bonus points if they made the whole thing in retro-80s design. Political murders, ultra violence, and giant tank-robots. You can't go wrong, now that the price of special effects is like 2% what it was.

FactsAreUseless posted:I want a Veep-esque sitcom about the Justice League PR team who have to clean up every time Superman punches someone through a building. This is actually happening, more or less. An NBC show coming this fall about an insurance company that deals with superhero-related damage, set in the DC Universe, called Powerless. I doubt it'll have the budget to show any actual action or the rights to use any established characters, but it will star Vanessa Hudgens, Danny Pudi (Abed from Community), and Alan Tudyk. I suspect it won't last long. Marvel also has a comic called Damage Control, a comedy series about the people who clean up and rebuild after superhero-related fights and disasters.

A fully fleshed out and not rushed fifth season of Farscape. But I would sacrifice this for the promise that Firefly will never come back and any time someone talks about how it was the greatest show of all time a Fox executive appears and beats them to death with a bag full of the unproduced scripts.

TV-series based on actually good fantasy/sci-fi books where they actually follow the plot. In particular, I'm not going to be fully happy until there's a Black Company HBO tv series.

You know what? I'll admit it. I want a talk show. But I'm guessing a lot of other people who complain on the internet also do too. I'd make the worst talk show host ever; between my stutter, my inability to make eye contact with cameras, inability to tell jokes, inability to manage a production, and not being white. But gently caress it. That's my wish.

I've said it before but the Tripods, re-imagined BSG-style. Or an Iain M Bank's Culture adaptation (this would be really, really hard to do I reckon).

A show that features a child actor now condemns that child to a tortured existence of being forever that age, so as not to ruin continuity. He will watch as all of his friends grow up and move beyond him, and though he may be mentally an adult, he will never be taken seriously for a job, never know romance, and spend his days in lonely hibernation with whatever scraps he managed to save from his acting career. There will still be no shortage of child actors, because their parents are terrible people.

A second season for a great show canceled after only one season. I can't decide between My So-Called Life, Freaks & Geeks, or Terriers.

-All the awesome TV I've seen becomes unwatched and that I somehow have the time to re-watch it all. -Everyone watches the same shows as me, so they are always hits and I don't have to desperately try and convince people to watch cool stuff.

My own channel? I didn't read any budget restrictions... The Culture Channel. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Culture It would be like HBO if HBO had the budget of every hollywood studio combined. There would be all the books released once every two years as movies with budgets in the billion dollar range. Then a TV series every season to flesh out the universe with new stories. So 4 new TV series a year with radically different themes. And i get to bring Iian M. Banks back to life to help me with it. I really don't feel like any of this is too much to ask.

Cactus posted:I've said it before but the Tripods, re-imagined BSG-style. Actually, why the gently caress hasn't The Tripods been turned into a series of 4-5 movies? Every other piece of dystopian young adult fiction is getting that treatment.
