Solidarity!

[subplotkudzu]

 The Screen Writers Guild went on strike today. As a Narrativist GM, in solidarity I will only be using the game plots I already had planned out. Those should last us through January. If the strike is ongoing, I promise a series of half baked single session games with no narrative arc. 

What? You mean I was going to do that anyway to deal with the reign of the newborns? OK, so, ya got me. 

One side effect of the 1988 writers strike was the revamping of older TV shows that the studios could mine for scripts. Were it not for the '88 strike we might not have had Star Trek TNG, or the new Mission Impossible. Given that in the 80s' the mined shows from the 60's, what show's from the 60's might they mine for the 80's?

My guesses? Expect a new Knight Rider, a new Love Boat, a new Fantasy Island and possibly a new A-Team. What are your guesses?

In fact there IS a proposal on the books for a new Knight Rider TV movie and series. More here:

I think we're going to get those anyway. Given enough time and enough channels, everything will be remade, multiple times.

Maybe they'll do Manimal right this time!

I would like see a new Tales of the Gold Monkey, personally.

I'd love to see the old "Tales of the Gold Monkey" be released on DVD.

I found other copies for $120+, but since they're all just bootleg DVDs....

Interstingly, Amazon has a listing for an official version along with a statement that it is not yet released. Or even being considered, most likely, as Amazon puts those up so people can be informed if and when their loong shot favorite series is now on DVD.
