Looks like you're doing well here, Dan.   Can't participate as I have to babysit my sick granddaughter this week, but if I were, I would have done Dallas. Huge show in Sweden when I grew up.

I can't do it, either, as I have to babysit my sick squirrel.

Guys, great news.  Don and I talked about it.  This generated more interest than was initially thought, so Don asked how I felt making the deadline 2 weeks instead of the customary 1 week.  The review will also be a 2 week time change.

Hope this helps those on the fence.

Is the page limit still 15?

Quoted from Zack Is the page limit still 15? ~Zack~

Hey Zack
    No you have up to 24 pages.

Dan

Right, so now it's a two week challenge and up to 24 pages

Just confirming also (not sure if I'm in btw) that the genre does not have to change from the original?.

Fate is so cruel. You were already doomed when the pages limit was 15 and the deadline was within a week. Now it's 24 and two weeks. It seems fate is craving a fatality.

So so cruel.

Bring your A-game, guys. I don't wanna feel guilty after this. I'm not holding back.

Disclaimer: I'm not running this joint. DanC is. I'm just an overly enthusiastic potential participant in this contest who has been electrified by the awesomeness of this May OWC. Don't take my word to the bank. This is my own summary of what I understood so far from reading this thread.

So to sum it up:
Prompt: Reinvent a series, preferably an old one. Make it so it will appeal to today's audience. Change something about it. Don't just write a new episode or the premiere of a new season. Make your own custom version of it in any way you see fit.

Pages limit: 24 (You don't have to use all of them).

Deadline: 2 weeks.

Instructions:
1- PM Mod DanC what show you plan to reboot to call dibs on it because every show is limited to two entries. We don't want everybody to reinvent Lost and Breaking bad- I'm so heartbroken that nobody picked those shows.  

Do not speak of the show you are interested in reinventing in this thread. Losing anonymity in this contest will disqualify you. Just send a private message to DanC, which is the guy in charge. And he is awesome.

This is the shows picked so far:

Quoted Text Knight Rider is closed.  There are 2 entries. Monster Friday the 13th The Series Dark Shadows 6 Million Dollar Man Quantum Leap Branded Moonlighting Space Ghost Columbo Nightmare on Elm St. Mayberry RFD Cosby Show Green Acres Gilligan's Island Note.  Mayberry might be closed b/c I saw interest in a second person who wants it.  PM me second person.

Stay tuned! You never know what you might find next in this thread. Netflix might sponsor this contest. I'm not kidding. You really never know.

Correct.  If you want to keep it the same genre, that's fine.  It's the updated version for the reboot.

Wow.  You are excited.  I'm happy to see this level of excitement.  Every word in this post is correct.    I'm glad that someone was so moved by a series from long ago that they have such passion to tackle this.  I wish all of you the best and a big shout out to Don.  Oh you can also send Don the email with your selection.  We are keeping each other on top of the latest.  

I wonder for future challenges if we shouldn't have a suggestions box.  Might be fun.  So far, I'm enjoying this.  If Don and the other Mods would have me, I'd come back.

That's really good news, nice.

And wow, isn't Ammar excited!))

2 weeks? Oh thank god.

And of course I'm in. I need to defend my crown from the last OWC.

Anyone got dibs on The Cosby Show?

Dustin, only Knight Rider is closed off. But please change your message so it doesn't mention your show idea, then email the idea to DanC to "reserve your spot."

Quoted from DustinBowcot Anyone got dibs on The Cosby Show?

I had 1 maybe on the Cosby show.  Go ahead and claim it.  Send me a pm and I will c.f. It to Don.

Dan

I was kidding. I tried to think of the show least likely to get made and came up with that.
