(Becuase of the group-target limit I am pasting and sending this to
various related newsgroups, if anything it'll get it outta my systme
even if this flick is made and god---HITS!)

Where oh where, has our Underdog gone? Well,not to Disney that's for
sure, it's a whole new, dog, who is one step away from being a
nontalking pooch and only a regular dog as Underdog would be the
worst.

For the sake of the good patron saints and majordomos at Total
Teleivison Productions and Leonardo Productions, as well as TV Spots
vis-a-vis Creston Studios and Gamma Productions, living and dead,
including the soundtrack folks, this movie with Jason Lee must be
stopped.

I saw a billboard for this down in LA last week. Big, huge billboard.

I thought I was seeing things until I looked again.

Apparently, yes, this is being made. No, it's not animated. No, not even
Underdog is animated (ala the Garfield movies). Yes, that's right. We've
got a live action dog. With a cape. Called Underdog.

God, a piece of my childhood just shrivled up and died right there.

What's worse is, something tells me there are already plans for
Underdog 2. (Hands up, those of you who thought that the first
"George of the Jungle" movie would have put an end to any thoughts of
a sequel...)

I just saw an ad for that monstrosity. It's sickening.

Why would they even pay for the 'Underdog' franchise, when it clearly
isn't? No one who cares about the cartoon will go to that piece of crap.

I think they're betting on the fact that no one remembers the cartoon, and
are hoping to appeal to the same audience that was responsible for
Hollywood making all those stupid Air Bud sequels.

Sure, why not. First, remind the audience of what the show used to be.
That way when the actual film is revealed, its soul crushing power will be
even more effective.

After all, if you'd hadn't heard of Underdog before, you'd just think this
was a bad Hollywood movie. But, having been educated (even briefly), you
can enjoy the true horror that this isn't just a bad movie...it's a
horrific remake/re-imagining of something that used to be considered
enjoyable...

*sigh*

As a special treat, I would be allowed to eat lunch at my little table and
chair set in the living room while watching Underdog on TV when I was 4
years old. Can't go back again :(

That's what puzzles me. People who care about Underdog are NOT going to
go to this film. Why even bother acquiring the rights?
