I wish Birds of Prey had been done right. So much potential.
Tell me about it. Sigh.

[NAFDA] "There will be an occasional happy, so that it might be crushed under the boot of the writer." From Zorro to Angel (including Wonderfalls, The Inside and Drive), this is where Buffistas come to anoint themselves in the bloodbath.

I don't read TT (since I haven't succumbed to the siren's comics call yet), but I love the animated show so much I would be very prejudiced against a live action version.
we've already seen that in the cartoon
For values of we that don't include me, since I've never seen more than runs over into my recording of JLU. I have no idea how much of "classic" TT the comic mined, but there are a few pre-Superboy teams, and one post, though he's still quite present.
A live-action Teen Titans couldn't possibly top the live-action Justice League. [link]
Does Lorne not count? I'm not sure I understand the specifications, so he might not. It just seemed funny to see people in Minearverse saying, "When's the last time there was a network TV show where someone regularly wore FX makeup?"
Lorne does count, and I completely forgot him in the regular category. His skin was okay, but I'm still skeptical (or forgetful) about Gar's hair.
I don't know that they'd invest in a fully green Gar. They'd probably settle for a nice emerald aura right before he changes shape. Cyborg? Slap a couple metallic looking appliances on his face. Starfire's hair? Do it like the cartoon and airbrush her with bronzer.
I miss Birds of Prey ALOT! To bad they had to rewrite and crew it up. The Comic is really good and the show could have been awesome.
Now I have to go elsewhere to see Shemar with a gunn. *sigh*
As to the Titans, if the kept with the small tight group there would be no more cost or effect then the do now for Smallville.
Use Dick Grayson.... Nightwing has no powers just lots of stunts.
Donna troy, in whatever version they want, is more raw strngth and is human like Clark.
They could use the same model to do cyboeg the did on SV.
Really the biggest money would go to Gar. And if they wanted to do it Starfire's hair.
But maybe for pazzaz add Bart(kid-flash) and you have his super speed.
I honesty don't think there would be much cost that is not in an average ep of SV, today. I would love to see it.
I made Katie Finneran's day!
Last night I was headed to a going away party for one of the attorneys. I was walking with a couple of my colleagues and enjoying the sights, including New York's seemingly endless stream of beautiful women. Which is, of course, how I spotted Katie. As she got closer I realized that I recognized her, and right after she passed me I figured out who she was. "Katie Finneran!" She turned around and walked back toward me. "Oh, hi..." I could tell she was trying to remember who I was, so I told her, "No, you don't know me. I'm just a big fan of Wonderfalls and The Inside." She was surprised I recognized her. Her hair was strawberry blonde and pulled back; she seemed much thinner than on either show. Don't know if she lost weight or if she just dressed and carried herself differently from Sharon or Mel. Anyway, she looks GREAT in person, much better than on either show -- and I thought she was smoking hot on tv.
She asked my name and demanded a last name when I just said Joe. I told her that I had also hooked my wife on Wonderfalls. "You should come to Pig Farm." What's that? "It's a play I'm doing at the Roundabout. Bring your wife and come backstage!" With a charming smile and "You really made my day!" we parted. She made my day, too. And that was even before I started drinking on someone else's tab.
Aquaman is, reportedly, dead in the water.
Excellent phrasing, Kristen!
I made Katie Finneran's day!
Which probably made a bunch of buffistas' day as well as green with envy! Great story.
