i often have this silly fantasy that a really rich billionaire could create a cable channel and fund shows that draw small-but-dedicated audiences for their quality. In this fantasy world, the billionaire would underwrite shows like "Threshold", "John Doe", "Odyssey 5", "Space: Above and Beyond", "The Dresden Files", "Karen Sisco". We'd get another season of "Exo-Squad" and "Samurai Jack". The like of Coto would get a chance to really see their projects to fruition.
"Frank's Place" would return. Yeah, yeah, a fantasy indeed. No one would do that, and even if they did, the backer would likely not have the same taste as mine, and still cancel good shows. But in a world where billionaires buy boats big as apartment complexes and fund science fiction halls of fame, i can dream, can't i??? -------------- Original message -------------- From: "Lockhart, Daryle" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Jason Cahill and Manny Coto should do a show together.
