I never said that they would give the rights away. This is what would have to be pursued. What it would take for them to give up the rights. Would they be willing to take the multi-million dollar tax write off? I would like to think that they would see the benefit in this considering they will probably do nothing else with the rights anyway.

These are further examples of large organizations that set up foundations and offer grant money for tax write-offs. In reality it is not impossible to acquire money from them. I am just making the point that there exist many organizations that actively pursue good publicity. And their saving money on taxes also helps to make it more appealing.

I have not evaded a single question from anyone. I am offering an idea that I believe could be incredibly valuable to you in the form of the revival of your favorite show, a chance to give a big FU to FOX for their poor treatment of the show and its viewers (which, is the only thing that they are reliable doing), an opportunity to change the way we understand broadcasting, a chance to help student film makers, editors and up and coming producers who would contribute to the shows production in some form.

Originally posted by tedious: I have not evaded a single question from anyone. *cough* I am offering an idea that I believe could be incredibly valuable to you in the form of the revival of your favorite show And we've told you in no uncertain terms that your plan is unworkable. a chance to give a big FU to FOX for their poor treatment of the show and its viewers (which, is the only thing that they are reliable doing) Exactly how is going to FOX and asking them nicely to hand over the TV rights giving them a big FU? an opportunity to change the way we understand broadcasting Like the song says, I don't want to change the world. a chance to help student film makers, editors and up and coming producers who would contribute to the shows production in some form. So instead of one of 90s TV's most famous figures heading a crack production team, we'll have a bunch of nobodies at the wheel? Does the phrase "jump the shark" mean anything to you?

goodnight fred.
For the nth time the money for the production team would come from the grant recieved from the endowment for the arts or from another foundation.

This thread is great! I love you, Fred!
I say, go ahead, but you're on your own until you put something a little more tangible together, especially if you're gonna get anyone to part the the grant money required to do this.
..and if you don't get it, it's not like a loan, or a record company advance, you won't have to pay it back - which will have repercussions for the poor struggling artists who really need that money.

I have to agree with Melllvar, this thread rules i sullute both fred & tedious for the most entertaining read ive had for a long time , Anyways tedious i can see that you are very keen to bring back a very loved show and i don't blame you for wanting to do this but in all respect i think you need to forget it futurama is like a dead pet and pleeding to god to bring the pet back, and you just have to face that it's gone/over dead put it behind you most fans (on peel and not) have gotten over futurama being canned and i think you should learn from them that you should to.

For the nth time, why should they give the money to some hare brained scheme to resurrect a dead TV show, when there are better things to spend the money on? like a dead pet? pets don't die. Hahahahaha Oh wait, you were serious. Let me laugh even louder! BWAHAHAHAHAHAHA! come on. lets get real here. reality, you know, you have probably heard about it on this thread. Yes, in everyone's posts except yours. its the place where we see new episodes of futurama every sun. night. Have you been taking the aspirins with the "e" printed on them?
