Hasbro Studios announces new President

My guess is that they will be gameshow type shows but honestly that's just a guess.

Oh sweet raptor jesus, that show blows. So much time is wasted on, ahem, trivial crap like having random people ask questions BUT FIRST they have to say their name and were they're from.

6 bloody questions takes, what, a third of the show? Ridiculous.

Making TV shows based on their properties COULD work for some things. A new GI Joe cartoon? Sure. A new Transformers cartoon? Yeah. A new My Little Pony show, or Little Pet Shop? That could work.

I could see Battleship making a very cool naval adventure show. Make it like GI Joe, only with a greater emphasis on naval combat. And they could mix in stuff from the new board game, like a hostage rescue mission.

I imagine Candyland would be a cartoon about life in the world of Candyland. Something sorta like the Smurfs.

Clue? I imagine it'd be a really tacky '80s-esque cartoon. The 6 guests, after solving the mystery at Mr. Boddy's mansion, group together to form some kind of crime solving syndicate. Sounds terrible, but could actually work. Professor Plum's got the booksmarts [and could be like Egon from Ghostbusters or Q from the Bond films], Col. Mustard has military knowledge/contacts and could be the weapons guy, Mr. Green could be the leader, Ms. Scarlett as the sultry spy [perhaps she was a gymnast and/or actress, so she'd be good for infiltration/disguise work], Mrs. Peacock could be Mr. Green's wife and second-in-command, and Mrs. White could be like the team's Alfred.

Or maybe I'm just WAY overthinking this. I like Clue.

Something tells me that you'd like the movie. And personally, that's the only way I'd see that game would work... unless it was a game show, ala the PBS' Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?.

1337W422102 wrote:Good point about the Carmen Sandiego. Though the cartoon was more fun than the game show...

I liked both of them, honestly, though I wasn't too enthusiastic about when the game show went to Where in Time is Carmen Sandiego. That show wasn't nearly as enjoyable as World.

I'm just jonesing for some new Transformers shows!

I may be having a senior moment (or a glitch), but is this the same Margaret Loesch whose name I see as an producer in the end credits of G1?

Of course, if it is, she also brought us such cartoon wonders and the Monchichis.

HK, torn.

Just imagine it, Mrs Green kills him with a knife in the living room and we'd see a 5 minute scene of overdone violence while she slashes him over 30 times with the knife spraying ungodly amounts of blood al over the place and seems to get into some kind of ecstasy over it.
That would be so trashy yet entertaining and may become the best selling cartoon ever.

Sounds like either a mature animé or Clue: The Slasher.

Or an Alfred Hitchcock movie.

Wait... Mr. Green... Norman Bates... IT ALL MAKES SENSE NOW!

Green seems more like the Private Eye than Bates... And even more like Cary Grant's character from North by Northwest!
