Fraggle Rock: The Movie 


CNN.COM is reporting that Fraggle Rock might be coming back in the form of a movie.

Ahmet Zappa, son of Frank Zappa, will be developing this project in which the Fraggles will finally venture out from the cave and into Outer Space (the world of human beings). No mention of whether or not The Trash Heap will play a major role, but being a child of the 80's I'll take what I can get.

Upon reading this bit of good news, I began to wonder what other classic 80's television shows could do with a movie revival:

- Knight Rider: K.I.T.T.'s personality matrix has been uploaded into a Dodge Viper, and together with Michael Knight's son are our last, best hope to protect the eastern seaboard against international terrorism.

- ALF: In and out of rehab and facing termination by a shadow government hellbent on possessing alien technology Alf must go into hiding, relying on the kindness of a rag-tag group of vagabond street children for survival.

-Punky Brewster: Punky, now a well-respected forensics expert, teams up with a reckless cop and together they discover the true meaning of friendship.

-The Love Boat: The year is 2299, and Captain Stubing, Doc, Gopher, and Isaac the bartender android must do all they can to wrest back control of the intergalactic space ship Love Boat 5000 from Cruise Director Julie, who has gone mad from an acute case of space sickness

-Three's Company: All was well with Jack, Janet & Chrissy until one dark fateful night when a dangerous stranger came calling and changed their lives...forever.

This is gold people. Gold! If any producers want to run with these ideas, they're all yours...
