A Realistic Way to Continue the Story
Pete I hope your still out there.
As in the song Mrs. Robinson by Simon & Garfunkel:
"Where have you gone, Petee Williams
A nation turns its lonely eyes to you (Woo, woo, woo)
What's that you say, Mrs. Robinson
Mighty Pete has left and gone away
(Hey, hey, hey...hey, hey, hey) "
Years later I'm still a huge fan and wish you'd post some thoughts. I still think there's hope.
Know that the first season of Undergrads impacted all it's fans more then you can imagine. For me it became a source of inside jokes stemming from the character quotes. Everything in that show was awesome.
I think the stories and characters of undergrads are timeless. Your story continuation can exist across other mediums as well. How about wrapping up the current story cliff-hangers in a well done colour graphic novel?
Then who knows maybe a comic series can happen. Then finally perhaps a animated series based on the comics.
When this first started I shrugged off the comic idea as kiddy. Reading numerous acclaimed graphic novels and comics, has shown me the way. After reading graphic novels that go even beyond regular novels in terms of beauty. I think it's the perfect way to tell a story.
The comic might even spurn DVD sales of the original series if it's popular enough.
I think if it's a struggle to put up costs for a animated season, it's always going to be. People are in entertainment for money.
Also, I think any attempts to do the show cheaply will be bad. The quality of the show's animation, the voice actors, the great music. While expensive it's the show's heart and soul.
I really think the graphic novel idea could work.
