The Birds 2: Enemy Birds

[spectralbovine]

In case you haven't heard the Rob Thomas news, there it is. Chances are good that in 2008, one of three series will hit the airwaves:

• a remake of Cupid
• an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune
• the original series Party Down

HE IS AT THAT.

Ty Lee's braid is clearly sentient and staging a hostile takeover of her ENTIRE BEING. A MINI MARCH OF CIVILIZATION IF YOU WILL.

OMG CUPID!!! That would make me insanely happy if it actually happened. Then I might forgive ABC for the cancellation. Even if I have my reservations with different actors, I still would love to see the show get a chance to show again. Thanks for letting me know!

an adaptation of the New Zealand series Outrageous Fortune
I'm.... not sure how I feel about that. It is a great TV show (probably the best NZ series ever) but most of what makes it awesome is how Kiwi it is. Although I guess if Rob Thomas is involved...

I loved Cupid back in the day. It is very random that ABC wants to bring it back though.

I don't know much about it. He described it as a comedy-drama, close in tone to VM.

It's doomed.

I mean that in the nicest way possible, but unless some Scrubs-esque miracle happens and this show gets a cult just big enough to limp along from season to season, it's going to get very, very cancelled. A dramedy by Rob Thomas? Adapted from New Zealand? DOOM.

I am also confused about the adaption of Outrageous Fortune. Do you know where he got the show from?

[spectralbovine]

Not a clue. I'd never heard of it.

We could hook you up with the first season if you want.
