As for the show itself... it would be hard to recapture the giddy, surrealistic nature of the show itself, which was incredibly time-bound. There's no point in retelling the story, because there WAS no story. The show was a complete mess, partly as a result of having several different writers pulling the series in different directions.

You could pull elements of the old series and completely reimagine them, but it would take as much reinvention as, say, Battlestar Galactica. In other words, you could take a few of the images and a bit of the spirit, but really you'd be on your own in inventing a brand new thing.

I remember seeing a discovery channel show, or something close, about high tech cars and possibly the Baja 5000. In it they showed a material used in some suspension which became rock hard when changed with a current. What was this material?

Who can tell me the name of this show?

My boyfriend asked me about this and amazingly enough I did not know the answer. The show was based in a coffee shop and the theme song was something like a cup of joe and a good conversation.

how do create a show for teennick?

i was thinking of creating a show thats named after my friend, but i'm not sure how to make it. my so-called "future" show is titled "Wacky Zack". my friend zack, plays himself (the main character), who is basically quirky, clumsy, hyper, and a little obnoxous. (he'd be perfect for this role, because thats how he is real life. so this role would be easy for him because he would act like he normally does). i already contacted nickolden, i'm not sure if i got a response yet. if put together a good enough pitch for them, do you think they'll actually my idea into concideration? i understand this will be hard, and my idea might rejected, but i'm willing to work my a___ off to take that chance.
