How about creating a new sci-fi anthology with none of the puerile baggage of Rod Serling, Rockne Obannon, Michael J. Stracinsky, etc .. It is time to end their reign of un-American cynicism and fatalism !

We can all dream about "The Jerry Pournelle Theater", but good luck trying to interest anyone in Hollywood in such a concept.

On the other hand, improving video technology is steadily reducing the cost of production, while the Internet is reducing the cost of marketing. Is there a TV Rutan in our future?

What gets my blood boiling is the Sci-Fi channel is billed as Sci-Fi...why do they constantly show horror films. If that's what they want to do...then CREATE a horror channel.

Put on episodes of the Dark Knight, Poltergeist, Nightstalker, etc...even Ghost Hunters.

Maybe not Pournelle, but maybe Gordon Dickson's Dorsai stories.

They could be made into an allegory of today's world, like MASH and 'nam, or COMBAT! and um, combat.
