[Bloody Sam Roberts]

Number 5 and 20 have already gotten the TV treatment. HHGTG TV series on the BBC was the original based on the book. The BBC Radiophonic Workshop radio series was based on that. Though I wouldn't mind seeing a new series strictly adhering to the book or radio series. There have been many more radio shows of HHGTG...the Tertiary series, the Quandary phase, etc.

And there have been several Dune entries on TV that ran on the Sci-Fi network some years ago.

Larry Niven’s Ringworld... I can’t get italics on this bleeping tablet.

[Covenantor]

What the country needs is this classic series...

to get back to the basics.

But that's just my curmudgeonly side showing. Media would immediately screw it up by making the children transgender, etc.

The Great Idea by Henry Hazlitt (New York: Appleton Century Crofts, 1951)--later reissued under the title Time Will Run Back

Stalenin is the dictator of a global Communist state that seeks to erase all memory of pre-Communist culture and civilization throughout the world. The world's population endures poverty and misery, and even granaries like Kansas are subject to frequent famines. But when he assumes the state's leadership after the death of his father, Stalenin's son, who has received an education in a non-Communist environment, soon finds himself struggling to restore prosperity by promoting political and economic freedom.

The Middle of the Journey (New York: Viking, 1947)

A novel based on the life of Whittaker Chambers, published a year before his sensational confrontation with Alger Hiss.

[I-ambush]

I would like to see “A Canticle for Leibowitz” turned into a series, but the novel is too much opposed to modern secular society and the Culture of Death. I suspect that any adaptation would twist the author’s meaning 180 degrees.

[BlueLancer]

The Garrett Files and The Black Company, both by Glen Cook.

[freedombird]

The Janissaries series by Jerry Pournelle....also Without Remorse by Tom Clancy.

[TruthWillWin]

Animal Farm.

[shotgun]

Tom Clancy’s Red Strom Rising would make an excellent mini-series.

[TBP]

The entire Hitchhiker trilogy, all six books of it.

[TBP]

Atlas Shrugged. I know they already made it into three (3!) movies, but it really does need the miniseries treatment.

[TBP]

Heinlein's Future History" series, not to mention his The Moon Is a Harsh Mistress.

[Crusher138]

The Vorkosigan Saga

Lots of material. Very interesting protagonist. A funnier, less pretentious Dune-like saga.

[YogicCowboy]

The Riddle-Master series by Patricia McKillip.

The Dream Dancer series by Janet Morris.

The Golden Torc series by Julian May.

[PLMerite]

Monster Hunter International by Larry Correia

[YogicCowboy]

Macroscope by Piers Anthony.

It is a stand-alone, his first novel, I think, and his best, I also think.

[Dead Corpse]

Wheel of Time is in pre-production. Can hardly wait for that one...

One not on the list is Larry Correia's Monster Hunter International series... Even my Wife likes them...

Hitchhiker's Guide was a BBC series and then a feature movie. Percy Jackson and Harry Potter both have the movies that might make getting them as TV series difficult. Same for Dark Tower now that the movie has pretty much flopped...

Looks like Good Omen's is going to be an Amazon series set for release next year.

[WVMnteer]

World War Z getting the 10 episode HBO treatment could be something.

Hitchhiker was done by BBC and then made into a movie. Douglas Adams didn’t write funny stuff so much as he wrote funny. Hanging in the air the way bricks don’t and such. It’s hard to translate that.

My daughter really liked Vampire Academy.

I don’t know enough of the rest of these.

[x]

Many of them already were movies, weren't they?

Even series of movies what with all the sequels.

Game of Thrones was a great success, but that's largely because it's so different from everything else on television.

If there were suddenly two dozen new fantasy series on TV we'd all be ... well, I can't say it, but it wouldn't be pretty ...
