Galaxy Quest the TV series?
In space nobody can hear you make a small screen series of a campy film about a cancelled sci-fi TV show.

Here’s a random idea, but one I kinda like….
A TV series based on the film Galaxy Quest, which was itself a sort of campy Star Trek tribute.
Deadline reports Paramount Television is putting together a project based on the 1999 DreamWorks movie about the cast of a cancelled space TV show who become reluctant real space heroes when they are accidentally transported to a spaceship and tasked with saving an alien nation.
The film starred Tim Allen, Sigourney Weaver, Alan Rickman, Tony Shalhoub, Sam Rockwell, Daryl Mitchell, Enrico Colantoni and Justin Long.
Writer Robert Gordon is expected to pen the TV version with original director Dean Parisot and producer Mark Johnson reportedly on board.
Given Paramount turned Brady Bunch into a kitsch feature, there’s some sort of ‘highly illogical’ logic, in doing the reverse for another.
Paramount declined to comment.

This movie is soooo funny. If they cast it right, I would love to see it. There’s nothing like this on TV at the moment. It’s all vampires and reality tv.
On the upside… I can tell my grandchildren that I was alive the day that TV finally ran out of ideas…
I won’t hold my breath. The movie hit all the right notes…I just don’t see where this can go.
eeeeeep…. camp scifi I love it! But in the 90’s where it belongs.
Suprised it hasn’t had a movie sequel yet.Everything else has.
Not sure a TV series of it would work unless it was the same cast as the movie.
A bad idea-where could you go with it? I’m a big fan of the film, but it told its story and wrapped it up neatly.
Me too, I’m on board with this idea, but there’s questions around this like will Alan Rickman and Sigourney Weaver return? will it be an Earth bound behind the scenes series or Comedic Sci-Fi Tim Allen fighting actual aliens series?
Painful! The movie sucked!
Oh make it so….*G*….I love this movie….just hope they stick to the original concept and dont try to get too fancy with it….
I wouldn’t mind seeing it, as long as like the movie they don’t take things too seriously.
I’m with you, David. A totally random idea with brilliant potential.
