The Dresden Files - Hey, I liked it, and that’s all that matters. The books were absolutely terrible. But the show was almost completely different from the books.

I will fight you on the books being terrible.

I forgot how many books I went through before I couldn’t take it anymore. I couldn’t take his constant blathering on what to do and not to do when it came to life, injury, and death. It would go on for pages about the right thing to do. Preach to someone else.

Needless to say I pretty much disagreed with just about every decision he made. Making the main character very unlikeable. Good for maybe little kids ages 10 and under.

I like that he is terrible at his job and constantly makes the wrong decisions that gets his friends hurt or killed.

Agree to disagree

Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn

Hey I watched that.

Did you ever do anything on the top model shows? There was a season they used a recording studio I was working at for a bunch of different shoots and I was the babysitter of the studio gear and telling those people no was a lot of fun.

No darling, you cannot lay across the SSL 9000.

Nope. The only reality I have worked on is Project Runway.

Babysitting there right now.

That’s the one. Second season when they brought in that female boss it took the edge off. Real shame. Someone told me the first series starred Rick Springfield.

Cop Rock

Those cops rocked.

Dracula on Netflix…was only a 3 episode series. Great take on the story, the guy who played him was the best Dracula I’ve seen.

Right? True Blood had such *promise *, but totally nose dived

Caprica

Absolutely. It really could have blossomed with a second season.

CopRock was WAY ahead of its time.

Thought of another one: Kings. Ian McShane in a modern day retelling of the biblical David story

I really liked M.A.N.T.I.S. . It only aired for one season though.

[Axxowiz]

I must admit I was into Trueblood as well the first few seasons until it went gooey.

Two others -
About 5 years ago, four feature length episodes were made of the Inspector Maigret books - Maigret has been done before, but these were very well produced and starred Rowan Atkinson (yes, Mr. Bean) as Maigret. He was excellent, as were the supporting cast. I got the feeling it might have been too expensive a series to continue.

Dickensian - I sort of bumped into this one. A period drama set in the world of Charles Dickens’ characters, bringing a lot of characters from different books into the same universe. There were 20 episodes that ran from 2015 to 2016, started off with Inspector Bucket investigation Marley’s murder, while a young Miss Havisham’s brother conspires with a friend to get a hold of her fortune, brings in the Cratchi’s, the Bumbles, Little Nell. Great TV.

That would be interesting to watch. The only Maigret series that I have seen was broadcast on PBS staring Michael Gambon. I didn’t care much either for his portrayal or for the production.

@SixFoot

Well, Babylon 5 was first, and IIRC, they pitched the show to the people who eventually produced DS9.

Roddenberry pitched original ST to one network back around 1966. They said no and immediately came up with Lost in Space.

Coincidence? I think not .

[janer]

This Maigret is worth checking out. Yes, I like Michael Gambon as an actor, but not as Maigret. Rowan Atkinson did a great job. I think these 4 episodes were filmed in Romania to get a Paris in the 50s look.
