Remembering When (2003), "Frowning" Had Everyone BAFFLED Because it Was Only Going On at "Comcast / NBC-Universal"

 

And it was "only / ever linked" to the failed

 "GINO" - (Galactica in Name Only) series.

"So Say We All!!"

No One Has Ever Thought of Doing a "Compilation DVD / Bluray Release" of "Comcast / NBC-Universal's Greatest Flops?"

 

"So Say We All!!"

Remembering When "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Torpedoed Bryan Singer's Alleged "Battlestar" Movie (Back in 2012), For a Remake of The "Munsters"

 

And the remake (of The "Munsters") was literally announced (back in 2012), one month after Bryan Singer's alleged "Battlestar" movie was announced.

Convenient!!

Guess which project got the priority!!

INSANE, right?

"So Say We All!!"

Yes, "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Had Decades to Update The Visual Effects of The "1978 Battlestar Galactica Series" and / or do a Cartoon. It Failed on Both Counts to Even Do Such "Smaller Scale Projects"

 

"So Say We All!!"

Two Other "Intentional Galactica Blunders" of "Comcast / NBC-Universal"

 

https://trekmovie.com/2016/09/06/retrospective-the-original-series-remastered-project/

Back in 2006, the original "Star Trek" series with William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy was digitally remastered with updated visual effects.

The conversation (at the time) then naturally turned to the same being done for the "1978 Battlestar Galactica Series."

Of course, (eternally out of touch with reality) "Comcast / NBC-Universal" wasn't even "In" on the conversations occurring at the time.

Imagine (for example) the final episode "Hand of God" having all of that "awful stock footage effects shots" of the "Galactica" attacking the "Basestar" replaced with "state of the art effects shots."

 

Back in 2001, Tom DeSanto proposed a "Galactica Animated Series" similar to "Star Trek."

A "Comcast NBC-Universal" executive at the time who turned down the idea, actually said that he "didn't want the marketplace confused with a new animated series."

Confused with what?

"Comcast / NBC-Universal" NEVER doing anything new with the "Galactica" property anyway?

That would definitely be confusing!!

"So Say We All!!"

All Three Have Gone The Way of The "Extinct Dinosaur"

 

"Comcast / NBC-Universal" inadvertently took itself and its subsidiaries along for the "one-way ride" when it simultaneously made "Battlestar Galactica" extinct.

"So Say We All!!'

There Have Always Been Two Different Ways to Make "Business Decisions" In "Hollywood"

 The "Correct Way"

And....

The way "Comcast / NBC-Universal" has always preferred to do business....

The "Wrong Way"....

"So Say We All!!"

It's a Situation That Never Surprised This Blog In The Slightest....

 

https://www.ign.com/articles/battlestar-galactica-reboot-no-longer-in-development-at-peacock

...."Comcast / NBC-Universal" BLEW the one opportunity it would have had, to give "Peacock-Streaming" an "Identity Marker", on the order of "Indiana Jones", "Star Wars", and "Star Trek"....

....to increase subscribers at "Peacock-Streaming", easily over 100 million.

"So Say We All!!"

Yes, What This Blog Has Been Saying All Along: Confirmed!!

"So Say We All!"

Even When "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Comes Up With a "Little Idea", The "Little Idea" is Still Really, Really Bad

 

Such as, doing a "Direct-to-DVD" sequel to one of the "Biggest Box Office Flops" of all time.

"So Say We All!!"

What Has Always "Leaped Out" at This Blog as The Primary Reason Why "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Always Fails at Pretty Much Everything It Does

 Whether it be "Battlestar"...."Peacock-Streaming"....or the...."SyFy Channel".....

....the lack of producing and writing talent at "Comcast / NBC-Universal"....

Whether it be...."In-House"....or hired from the outside.

"So Say We All!!"

"Comcast / NBC-Universal" Began and Continued Its "Dysfunctional Streaming Service" - (Peacock-Streaming) With NONE of These "Known Identity Markers" to Draw Subscribers to Them

 

Is it any wonder why "Peacock-Streaming" FAILED?

"So Say We All!!"

Rule #1 of The "Streaming Industry:" You Have to Have a "Utilized Globally Known Brand Name" to Put Your Service On The Map. If You Don't, You End Up With "Unused Resources" Not Helping You

This Blog Sees a "Terrible Merging of Two Disastrous Entities" If This Ever Were to Happen

 

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:Universal_1440_Entertainment_films

Two disastrous entities (both subsidiaries of " Comcast / NBC-Universal)."

Just imagine if they were both working together under any circumstances....

"So Say We All!!"

With Even "Modestly Budgeted Movies" Costing a "Quarter of a Billion Dollars" Nowadays, Be Very Wary (More Than Ever) of Any Further "Fake Battlestar Press Releases" Coming From "Comcast / NBC-Universal"

 

Because they would be "Full of Sh*t" more than ever these days.

A budget like that for a "Battlestar" movie wouldn't even be approved in the "Mailroom" of "Comcast / NBC-Universal."

However, add Steven Spielberg and his "Jurassic Park" dinosaurs, and a "Battlestar" movie might have a shot with such a budget.

"So Say We All!!"

For a Quarter Century (2001-2025), This Has Been "Normal Business Procedure" at "Comcast / NBC-Universal" With "Battlestar"

 

Cancellations like this have never taken anyone by surprise.

More Fun Stuff That "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Didn't Make

 

"So Say We All!!'

This Blog Will Just Come Right Out and Say It

 This property would have been successful if anyone else had owned it....

"So Say We All!!"

Let's Have a Fun, Little Quiz

 If "Comcast / NBC-Universal" had to choose between picking up a third season of "Frasier", or making the Adam Sandler movie "Pixels" into a TV series, which one would they choose?

Regular readers of this blog already know the answer.

"So Say We All!!"

This Blog Has Just Received "Advanced Word" That The "Sequel" to "Teacup" Will Be Titled "Thermos"

 

"So Say We All!!"

Whatever Happened to That "Horror Movie" on "Peacock" Named After a "Ceramic Beverage Holder?"

 

https://variety.com/2024/tv/reviews/teacup-review-peacock-1236173653/

Do you think it was the title...."Teacup"....that led to its quick demise?

Anything named...."Teacup"....is not going to excite and motivate "Horror Fans"....

"So Say We All!!"

"SyFy Channel" Hasn't Thought of It Yet?

 "R.I.P.D. - The Series"

https://www.boxofficemojo.com/release/rl392988161/

One of the biggest "Box Office Flops" of all time!!

The "SyFy Channel" loves flops like this. 

"So Say We All!!"

Something "Peacock-Streaming" Would NEVER Do. Pick up "Frasier" For a Third Season. "Frasier" is "Too Cerebral" For The Entire "Comcast / NBC-Universal" Corporation

"So Say We All!!"

The Copyright Owners of "Battlestar Galactica" (Comcast / NBC-Universal) Also Don't Know How to Make Anything Else They Own Profitable

"So Say We All!!"

The Forgotten "Non-Classics" of "Comcast / NBC-Universal." Will They Ever Find a Home?

 

"So Say We All!!"

It's So Tempting to Be "Big Headed" In a Situation Like This

 ...But did the mistreatment of this property by "Peacock-Streaming" play a larger than expected role in "Peacock's" decline?....

A New era "Battlestar 1978" series would have given "Peacock" a distinctive, unique, and globally known identity. And stunningly profitable.
