thats what the original pair of stories written in the 20s and 30d was named when they put them together in book form in the 50s
its originally when he woke up …Buck Rogers - Wikipedia
theyve rebooted him a few times it seems
Thanks! Here is where the comic is running on Facebook.
There was a TV series of Logan’s Run back in the 1970s, but it didn’t do very well.
There was a Buck Rogers TV show, too.
I am big fan of the 1981 film Scanners and its sequels. Apparently there have been attempts to remake it either as a film or tv series over the past 15 years but they stuck in “development hell” as they say.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid done by the people who did The Wire. Butch and Sundance are somewhat sympathetic villains, trying to survive in a hostile West while holding together a group of cutthroats. Joe Lefors and his band of mercenaries are corrupt and violent while nominally on the side of the law. We see both sides and end every episode feeling more depressed than we did going in.
Oh, and an eloquent, principled guy with a shotgun keeps robbing them. “Oh shit! Jedidiah’s comin’ round the bend!”
I don’t count that as a proper thing.
It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World: A multi-episode, cross country “treasure hunt” mini-series
Roseanne would need to be cast in the obnoxious Ethel Merman role. The rest of the cast would include: Steve Martin, Bill Murray, Jim Carey, Chris Rock, Norm McDonald, Rowan Atkinson, Kristin Schaal, Will Ferrell, Seth Rogan, John Cleese, Randy Quade (driving his Christmas Vacation RV) and Cheech & Chong (driving their smoke-filled Up in Smoke lowrider).
Get Carl Reiner to play Smiler Grogan this time he is the only one left. Though his role was small as the Air Traffic Controller.
Why not Ackroyd?
Nitpick – the two original stories from 1928 and 1929 by Philip Francis Nowlan were assembled in the 1960s and published in hardcover as **Armageddon 2419 A.D.**by Avalon books in 1962 (with a preface by Robert Lowndes) and in paperback by Ace in 1963 (with a preface by Donald A. Wollheim). A 1969 reprint of that edition was still being sold in the 1970s, when I bought mine.
Buckaroo Banzai. Do it in a similar fashion to Legends of Tomorrow, tongue in cheek adventure of the week with a season long overarching story/Big Bad. The first of course being The World Crime League. Flesh out who Perfect Tommy et al are as characters.
