[Eddie Teach]

Bah, Showtime. 

[Josephus]

Yeah, I don't get Showtime either...but, um, there are alternative ways.

I don't know why they bother.  You cannot possibly repeat the magic, so why waste time and talent trying?  There are many original ideas that are better worth the investment.  If they were following up on a more conventional show, it might be worth it.  But you cannot pre-plan quirkiness.

[Josephus]

I hope they don't repeat the magic. I hope they create something equally magical. There's a not-so-subtle difference.

You can't duplicate an original and be original.

I'm with grumbler on this one.

Huge number of established fans lowers the marketing risk.

All true.

[CountDeMoney]

They'll fuck it up.

No. But my point is they can do something totally unexpected with it and still be magical.

Like Fargo the movie and Fargo the tv show? 

[Josephus]

Yes.

Boomers are the main audience for TV, as the younger generations have started to retreat from it.

Just wait for the thirtysomething relaunch, sixtysomething.

They should just Timmay it up, and throw in Transformers and shit in it.

It will turn out that Laura Palmer was killed by a Decepticon.  Or maybe King Kong.
