I think they should do fanboys making their own version of the convention fanboys from the last episode of "Supernatural" doing "Ghostfacers" who were themselves fanboys trying to be the Winchester boys.

tati, I couldn't agree with you more about Dresden Files. Don't worry, thanks to Syfy's complete laziness and utter financial incompetence (they paid for the rights until 2012 and have let it go to waste since early 2008) the rights will revert back to Jim Butcher in 2012 and he'll do something with it. Unfortunately though, people like me, who preferred the show's version of Bob are pretty much out of luck.

How ironic! In a world where we have no more creativity in Hollywood and TV. In a world where both are afraid to hire these great writers that are out there starving, TV comes out with a show about canceled shows. First, the show is Jack Black in "Please Don't Forget To Rewind." You already have a copied, unimaginative, non-original show. Second, the premise is filled on a canceled show; thus, not needing a new script to create! Okay, am I the only one NOT peeing in my pants with laughter, or wanting to move to the Moon, awaaaay from the non-creative, non-original, people of TV-Remake-Vision-land and Copy-Wood??!! And if you need even more proof, check out the talks on re-vamping the Charlie's Angels series for TV, ok?

Forgot to add: this is why Syfy channel is kicking butt! They create original shows, albeit, some are badly done, but you can still enjoy it for what it is.... ORIGINAL!! There is effort placed into it, and they do attempt to give up-and-coming writers a chance! Live Long And Prosper, Syfy!!
