I don't know about you guys but I think this would make a great TV series. It could replace Friday Night Lights!

 does put a lot of money into there series and a very small amount into there movies.but a rookie movie should be done somewhere like lucasarts first then a series should follow on sci fi or hbo once it gets a broader fanbase and they know what kind of effects they cannot skimp on later.

So, I'm the only one old enough to see the subject line of 'The Rookie TV show' and think ... "Wasn't that a cop show back in the 1970's?  Didn't Kate Jackson have a role as one of the rookie cop's wives?

It would make a great entertainment and it could stand up to all the soaps out there

That would be great

But I think it would be better as a movie. More money for special effects, no real restrictions.

I think it would be hard to make a good quality show with out some major backing. Definitely not for Sci-Fi channel!

SFC could work, but they sure are hit-miss when it comes to the shows they produce. Battlestar Galactica is top notch, but most of the made for TV movies they've done are pretty low-budget. If they'd sign up to do it right, I think SFC would be one of the best channels for the project. Or if we want the details and graphic nature of the story preserved--HBO miniseries! Yeah.

The only real problem with HBO

JP's picture
On November 6th, 2008 (14:33 GMT) JP says:
is that they've developed a disturbing habit of canceling good stuff early. Fox had this problem a few years ago too--shows got canceled before they were given time to build a following. As a result, HBO is suffering a market-share problem. They need to knock it off.

Good chance Spike TV would be a candidate channel, considering the amount of blood that I've seen inside the octagon. Granted, the blood in the octagon is red, and therefore not as interesting as some other colors...

Cartoon Network, specifically Adult Swim, should definitely adopt the Rookie, it could be drawn in that nice 70/80s (?) style like Metalocalypse, Korgoth of Barbaria, Thundercats, He-Man, etc... That would be rocking. To the max. DUDE!!! Ralph Bakshi is still kickin! You could make him do it!

Hmmm, let me think

RING RING RING--- Hello - SCIFI Channel - how bout you pull Stargate Atlantis and put on something a lot more fun - with LOTS And LOTS of Violence? Think it works - how about we start a grass roots campaign to get Sci-Fi to do it---- opps: "I have a great idea for a show. How do I submit ideas? SCI FI does not accept unsolicited material. We only accept submissions/pitches from distributors, producers, agents, talent with representation, etc. This is to protect both the Channel and the individual with the idea."

SciFi?

SciFi already had their turn... they turned down the work because they "don't want to have to explain their monsters". They seem to be more content with monsters you don't have to explain like...

Rookie is waaay more set up for standard Human-form in alien-filled world.

just like the Jericho fans

Well you know, the fans of Jericho sent 40,000 lbs of nuts to CBS and ended up convincing them to keep it on the air. Hmm... what could we send to Sci Fi or HBO? http://www.nutsonline.com/jericho

Things to send to SciFi...

Given the amount of blood in that story, there's no way any mainstream network would carry a show like that. But yeah, it would be cool to see a Ki Lineman rip some poor bastard in half in HD :P
