They are moving in the right direction. If they could just drop the entire Green Hornet movie into development hell, that would be better.
Also, Seth Green and company on a roller-rink tour across America. Hilarious! I would pay money to see that.

As far as The Green Hornet goes, it could be worse. It could be starring Will Ferrel...

Actually, I'm looking forward to the Green Hornet. I enjoyed watching Seth Rogen in Fanboys. I think it might turn out okay.

Get your facts straight.
Green Hornet was never a comic strip.
It was a radio show that later spawned movie serials, a tv show, comic books and even a few novels. But it was never a comic strip.

So...is SciFi US also picking up Legend of the Seeker? I've grown fond of that show, although I watched the entire thing via Hulu, week after week. Saturday night is tough for TV watching.

Good news for LEGEND fans in the UK! It would be awesome if SyFy picked it up here also to give people one more secure place to view it rather than relying on local stations which sometimes pre-empt the series.

Legend of the Seeker is produced in the US and syndicated here already on various stations around the country. Sci-Fi can not purchase the series to broadcast until syndication distribution contracts have been completed with local stations that currently air it.
Typically, if the series is cancelled all those c ontracts become void and then it would become available for cable stations to pick up the series and begin broadcasting it.
