Since it's kids, who presumably kind of get their inspiration from an amalgam of not-well-understood media, maybe you could kinda run it as a parody game, using the kids' naivety to make meta-commentary and shizz? But then, that might be my penchant for trying to include as many irrelevant asides in games I'm in as possible, just to amuse myself.

@Jig Aww, I was hoping it would be more aimed towards teens or something. Curses. I was thinking of watching Sliders tonight though, since I've never seen it.


I think Mona's supposed to be 10ish, so I'm assuming the intended audience is like 8-12 y/o.

Sounds interesting, though I don't think I could be that clever for an extended amount of time, though. ;)

I've always wanted to do some purposely bad writing, like Garth Marenghi's Darkplace if you've ever seen that. Always seems like fun. Heck, my dad and I do that sort of thing already when we shoot the shit: not long ago we playing with the idea of an incredibly cliche 2 dimensional procedural cop show, but instead of the main character being a cop, he's a janitor.

We're all adults, right? I was so sure of it this morning, but now...not so much.

I'm just way too easily entertained for my own good, I think. It's a blessing and a curse. Sigh.

Sliders is an amazing show! I need to finish it one of these days. Also that sliders-esque film i started but never finished because it was super late.

Definitely watching it, then. I hear good things about it.

Incidentally, if none of you folks have seen Darkplace, you're really missing out, it's a gem. When I saw the intro, I was in love. And breathless with wheezing laughter.

Well, it's bad on purpose, so it might not count. Also, it sadly only lasted 6 episodes. :(

I thought I could last that intro without so much as chuckling, before I clicked on the link Flavia sent.

And then "Cheesy 80s synthesiser music" came up on screen and I lost it xD

God, all these shows you Americans and even the English watch...

It's beautiful...that shot of the ambulance...gold. IT'S GENIUS I TELL YA! The production is weirdly perfect at making hilariously bad cheesiness. It's like, 'make sure you can see the string' and 'I want the acting to be as stilted and awkward as possible' and 'Change everything between shots, no continuity!' Genius.
