It has all of the key ingredients the..."SyFy Channel"...has always loved about its parent corporation's (Universal Studios) flop movies necessary for making a flop television series...
1. It didn't just bomb at the box office. It bombed badly. In a spectacular and unprecedented fashion...
2. The subject matter of the movie was boring as shit.
3. "R.I.P.D."...tried to rip-off...."Ghostbusters"....and..."Men in Black"....at the same time.
4. Beyond the plot of the movie, there were no more stories to sustain a television series.
5. "R.I.P.D."...was / is just screaming to be filmed in Vancouver, British Columbia. The..."SyFy Channel's"....low budget home for decades for everything they film.
6. The two lead characters could be cast with any old Canadian actors you would never hear from again after..."R.I.P.D.'s"...low ratings based cancellation after four episodes.
7. "R.I.P.D."...would of course crack that highly coveted..."0.0 - 0.5"...ratings range of every other low rated..."SyFy Channel"...show.
8. No one would watch..."R.I.P.D. - The Series"...because no one ever watches the..."SyFy Channel"....for any reason anyway.

Read about the books Universal Studios has tried and failed to censor on Amazon.com, as well as other stuff...
And read the books at another location where Universal Studios and its stealth marketers won't be able to post negative, misleading (stealth marketed) reviews of the books via them purchasing candy and Rogaine Foam on Amazon.com (allowing them access to the book review section) and not actually buying and reading the books.
