I think might end at otl time...but if Disney got ABC, we might get the remake earlier if they keep Dynasty, if not, i can see turner rerun it forever in tbs.
Imagine a Different 1980s - A Collaborative Pop Culture TL
- Thread starter Mort the Reaper
- Start date
I have no idea when to end Dynasty. I think Turner-CBS and ABC could make a deal where Turner-CBS gets the re-run rights for the episodes that aired from 1981-1986 and ABC get the re-run rights for episodes from 1987 onward. I think that I will have it air forever.(Like other soaps or the Simpsons)
April 30, 1982:
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi - now clean and sober - have a lengthy meeting today with executives at Paramount Pictures.
The studio likes - very much - the treatments for Ghostbusters and Spies Like Us the two stars present. They are eager to make both movies; however, they are less enthusiastic about some of the pair's other ideas. But they stand firm; the entire deal must come as a package or not at all.
A compromise is reached:
-The studio will make Ghostbusters, starring Aykroyd, Belushi, and two other stars - the studio commits in principle to hiring Bill Murray and Eddie Murphy for the remaining two roles, sure that with the four ex-SNL stars, the film will be a smash. (As it happens, Aykroyd is successful in landing both - meaning that in TTL, it's Eddie Murphy instead of Ernie Hudson who utters the classic line, "Ray...when someone asks you if you're a god...SAY YES!!")
-The studio also commits to making Spies Like Us, a comedy about two CIA agents that will star Aykroyd and Belushi.
-Belushi agrees to do The Joy of Sex, in time for a Christmas 1982 release, but only under two conditions: 1) that John Landis is brought in to direct and 2) that Aykroyd, Belushi and whomever they hire do a massive rewrite of the script. "That goddamn diaper scene has to go," Belushi snarls.
-The studio agrees to produce Noble Rot, most probably for spring 1983 release; but they insist on changing the title. John is adamant at first, insisting that part of the humor is the bizarre title, but, as one exec says, "No one is going to get it, and no one is going to see a movie with the word 'rot' in the title." John finally gives way, and agrees to re-title the movie Grapes.
Ghostbusters is scheduled for a summer 1984 blockbuster release, with Spies Like Us to be released for Christmas 1984.

Some players born this year include Kwame Brown, Amar'e Stodemire and Dwyane Wade. I plan on doing this sim until 2020.
In the west, LA sweep Phoenix and Portland sweep Seattle. LA than beats Portland in 6 games. In the east, Philly sweep Boston and Milwaukee beat New York in 7. Philly then steamrolls the Bucks and beats them in 5. The finals is LA-Philly
Yeah is hard but feasible, just deny RR any 'compasion or good will' points to the electorated, go against the politics, there a reason why i used icon, the GOP sold the perfect image arround him, but that is still breakable, specially as his illness will start to hit soon, bullet or no
I can't believe it! After LA go up 3-1, Philly go on a massive comeback and win the next 3 straight and win their first championship in 15 years!
