Re: KR Movie: Hoff talk & wishful thinking?

I thought that making a KR feature was a long shot, until they spent $200 million on Jack and the Beanstalk. They are obviously desperate for material that has some built-in familiarity with the audience, and KR certainly has that.

Re: To everyone that knew Taoworm/Joshua READ!

I'd like to offer my condolences as well. Josh and I exchanged several private messages during the run of KR08, and he was very helpful to me here. He was a great guy, and I'm saddened to hear of his passing.

Re: William Daniels

Just saw him on an episode of 'Grey's Anatomy' where he played a Doctor giving board exams to residents. So, he's still working. He sure looks his age, though.

I came to the shootin' match with a .22, y'all brought bazookas. Look, far be it from me to impugn the judgement of folks who feel so passionately about a subject.

Re: why wasn't KR08 successful?

I've come to the conclusion that casting is one of the most important components of a successful show. There've been a lot of knocks on the quality of writing on KR08, but at least three of those writers are now working on critically acclaimed shows (Friday Night Lights, Justified). What makes these...

Sorry, but that's correct. No Blu-Ray.

It's really a shame; it was such a visual show, and looked great in Hi-Def.

Re: why wasn't KR08 successful?

Should NBC have done more with it? sure, but as I understand it, the TV series was created solely to block any movement on the motion picture. NBC really got a win - win, they keep the motion picture from leaving the developmental stage, and the show plugged a hole against American Idol. I know we'...

Re: Sure, NOW they figure this out....

Yeah, Jay is sucking wind, but it doesn't cost much to produce, and that's all that really matters to NBC these days. They can produce a week of Jay for what it cost to make one KR ep. Simple economics.

Re: Controversial but was GST bad for KR???

I know that GST had a large budget, at least in TV land, for his series premiere, and I think for the most part he squandered it (I know Mike and I disagree on this.) You're wrong... we don't disagree. :) I don't know any of the details about the budget so I can't really put up too much of debate. ...

Re: Controversial but was GST bad for KR???

GST was considered a good choice in the eyes of the studio execs. He had the track record, and they owed him one after the Vegas fiasco. But ultimately, I don't think he was a good choice for the franchise. He was full of promises at the onset, as Mike has alluded to. And I DO think that he was thwa...

It's because GST was embarrassed of the project (mainly the reboot) and didn't want his name associated with the sai...

Re: If KR08 really is finished

Whether is still exists or not, NBC could not release the Arnett work on KR in any way, shape, or form without being sued by GM. So, I'm afraid you're stuck with Val. It was quite a crisis, I recall. One month before the airing of the pilot the word came down to the producers that they had to replac...

It was a forgone conclusion among the producers that if KR08 came back, it would have to be shot in Canada. But getting the costs down alone would not be enough. KR08 had three main problems; it was ratings-challenged, it was expensive, it was not the kind of show that NBC wanted to be a part of goi...
