..now I've got tits.

love it <p> Am sure she will have x-ray vision and will laugh will her friends/sister/mother about being able to see which guys are well hung. I am sure the scene will involve her in a kitchen one of them holding a cucumber or something and then laughing. <p>

Sonnenfeld should do a Dortmunder movie.

Your stories are exciting enough without exclamation points.

like a lot of these shows, I am sure she will be overweight, and putting on the suit will magically result her looking in stunning shape. And guys paying attention to her again, i.e. she used to look great but became a)lazy (known in western culture as "I don't have enough time") and b) became a regular patron of the golden arches. <p>

Now that's GOLD!
-
As well as producing it. Superheroes are more in vogue now maybe this series will prove more succesful (with audiences I mean, The Tick was awesome).
-
I'd love more live action TICK! Warburton is GOLD! "STICKY PINK DEVIL!"
-
Series based on the Elmore Leonard novel. Lasted one season. Sonnenfeld was behind it. It was a good show. Wish it were on DVD.
-
Warburton blew it imo. He mugged and tried too hard to be wacky, when all he had to do was be Patrick Warburton in the Tick suit...not to mention the make-up department made him look like a corpse at a viewing.
-
My brother watched that show and liked it ALOT. I've been keeping an eye out for the DVD ever since. Anybody out there know of it coming out on DVD... ever?
-
I actually wondered the same thing about the show coming out on DVD and I only found a fan made set on the Sell website. The show was as good as I remembered. I would be hella shocked if a retail set is made. Seems it's been long forgotten.
-
I'm over it. Just tell me a fucking story.
-
And it sucked, which is why it never went any further. Just give me a solid, well-cast updating of the original GREATEST AMERICAN HERO and we'll be cool.
-
I want to know what's going on with Balki Bartokomous and Larry Appleton! <p>Make it so, Hollywood.
-
But RV was virtually unwatchable.
-
About a hooker who gains super-powers. Now THAT would be worth watching.
-
Oh, wait a second. This story has nothing to do with NBC.<br> <br> Can you fire Zucker anyway?
-
This is such a bad idea. The Geico caveman are laughing at this! Why would I would feel more comfortable if Joss Whedon were attached......
-
Actually he helmed the show throughout. If by "helmed" you mean "executive produced and had massive creative involvement." And his hands were all over it creatively, as much as Fuller's. (Note massive similarities to his Addams Family movie work.) But no, he only directed the pilot.
-
Pale Force, The Series! Someone should look into it!
-
It's because Dave Barry said he was influenced by Donald Westlake and Elmore Leonard when he wrote it.
-
remake Greatest American Hero: Katt Williams.
-
Why not just make some cool Marvel-based TV shows for ABC instead of silly sitcoms based on fake heroes (althouhg I guess all superheroes are fake, aren't they?) http://nickleshi.blogspot.com

Fuck, all of TV is for middle aged women, and fucking 19 year olds.
