I should add that I know Collazo did contact Cannell because when I sent a
question to their group, Joan there responded that he had contacted them and
said that they were doing a parody. Unfortunately, it was more of a relaunch of
the series, where he gave no credit to the creator of the "GAH" Franchise.

For those who may be wondering - yes, I"m beating a dead horse here and will
drop it. I just didn't want Zanca's production to get mixed up with the one from
last year - especially if there is a chance they'll be doing at least one (Well,
they should at least give a conclusion to the cliffhanger they gave ;) ) or two
more stories.

that he had a lot more intent than a parody (and what we saw wasn't close to a
parody compared to this current version.)

book group is an indie, and a lot of the printing presses are being harder on
them than they are the bigwig ones such as DC and Marvel.

on their promises tend to be noticed by the larger film and TV group (yes even
in endeavors like this), and it can make finding a job in the industry harder.
