    Reading the article, I'm not overly impressed by "Fireworks Entertainments" resume. Andromeda & Mutant X??? Rat Race??? Kinda scares me.

    What are they going to do ... have a bunch of actresses in skimpy chainmail and silicon implants running around with quarterstaves & scimitars?? ... wait, that actually sounds good! Sign me up!!! ;)

    I just hope it doesn't turn out to be a disapointment like so many other wonderful things perverted by TV.

    What ever it is I hope that it wont be cable only. TV is dieing for something that isn't news. I didnt read it all but do you know who's going to air it? And where?

    Rat Race was funny and Adnromeda is good so it should be disent.

    Sounds like a another book series twisted and manipulated into one giant piece of crap. Few books that become TV shows are actually good, IMHO. Of course, it being FR, I guess I'll take a peek if it comes my way. :rolleyes:;)

    Saturday morning D&D cartoon???? lol ... I loved that. I waited around for months for a short yoda-impersonator to say, "Fear not paladin" and zap me a magic sword (ala Excalibur +5 Holy Avenger of Sharpness ;) )

    The show "could" be good, but I'm a cynic lately (maybe I've been hanging around Extremist too much ;) :lol: )

    I guess if I "read" the story of Xena I would have been very skeptical, but now I'm thinking of getting Oxygen, the women's cable channel only because they still run Xena every day!

    DRSW .. the cartoon stunk, but the idea rocked ... and as a child that was all I needed. Do you know how many stingless bows I made so I could shoot magic arrows at Tiamat in my back yard???

    In light of the failures of such things in the past I am against it. Then again a writer like R.A. Salvator might be able to pull it off. :heh:

    Speaking of cartoons, there's a quite nice anime called "Record of the Lodoss war" based on dnd. It's not perfect, but a good watch nevertheless with interesting plot twists and builds up to a good conclusion. But I guess there aren't many anime fans around here :)

    As for the tv show, I bet it'll be crap so don't really care. If it is done however, and I have the chance, I sure will give it a try.

    I show eh? I just hope that they won't mess it up, I've only read two books but, they were great. I guess I'll just have a little faith.
