You know, they might've had an opportunity when shows like "Alias", "24", and the countless clones ruled the networks for a season or two, and they might have one after the movie. I'd be open to seeing one, but I think of the 90's live action ads, and the live action segments on GI Joe Extreme, and then I get the shivers
They'd have a hell of a task to pull it off, but I'd be game. |

Only if it's a HBO or Showtime production. Well, maybe FX, maybe.

TV has proven to be a very strong venue for entertainment in the past few years. The ability to tell a story over the course of several years rather than wrap most of your arc up in two hours has been beneficial for shows like 24, Lost, BSG, etc.
Right now, especially because of the success of the Transformers film, the companies that own these properties, and Hollywood, are looking to cash in as soon as possible and the revenues from films are more lucrative sooner. Unfortunately, you deal with people who are less invested in the properties and they tend to tear them up a bit. Television is a viable market for 80's properties, but they don't pay as much as fast. This would even help Hasbro build its toy empire. They wouldn't have to wait for a film to come around to make new toys. The ability to tell the story over a longer period of time where we can develop story lines and relationships with characters, and have the cast work more as an ensemble, rather than focus only on a few characters at a time is more appealing to me than a film. A show like this may not survive on a regular network, but that isn't such a big deal anymore. BSG pulls in average numbers on sci-fi and produces film quality visual effects, with top notch production values, actors, and quality everything for only 1.5-2 million dollars an episode. But GI Joe, especially for all us former kids that are older now, our parents, and soon with the film, our children, will have a ton more recognizable brand power than people realize, making the show accessible and instantly recognizable in a guide or advertisement. People know GI Joe and they will watch more so on a whim then they would most any other brand (besides star wars) than i can think of. If the show has well written characters, a non-cheesy, serious storyline that deals with human issues, current events issues, and brings in some of that old GI Joe flare that we can share with our kids (with some parental discretion) GI Joe would rock on TV. |

As was said before, it would be too easy to screw up, so I'd say no. On a movie, I think things are watched a lot more closely, more stuff is taken into consideration because of the budget being worked with.
Sure, in the 80s they made toys based off of TV shows - CHIPS, Dukes of Hazzard, A-Team, Knight Rider etc etc. but the other way around? I'm not saying it's impossible, just not likely. |
