Trust me, you can find people to write new "Tales of the Alligator" that would blow the current competition out of space.

The market would carry it and you could sell it. We see that it is possible with an inferior product. Why not try for the objective with better?
Ahhhhh......You're assuming that quality is the goal in network TV, these days.

It isn't.

The goal is marketability at the cheapest price possible; if the story blows goats, that's okay, as long as the actors/actresses are lookers/famous, and your budget stays fairly cheap.

Just from what I've seen on this list in the c.1.5 weeks I've been here, we could do our own TOS-era series on our own -- the only thing in the way is getting us photogenic types into place long enough to shoot scenes.

We have excellent writers here, along with technical specialists and general idea people; we have individuals fully capable of doctoring FX, and a good chunk of the membership already owns uniforms and props.

Of course, anything we do will either need the blessing of GL or whoever holds the TOS IPs inorder to make any money from it, or we'd have to make our won, at our expense, and release it for free on the 'net.

Sigh
