I have nothing to back it up but I agree. - Mel Profit Feb 10, 11:03 8
- the problem with creating the next Friends is Gen Y and the next one are not necessarily appointment television watchers - cupixie Feb 10, 11:14
- I would have thought children's literature was dead, then Harry Potter came along. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 11:06 5
  - I don't think children's 'literature' was hurting. Books that appealed to children *and* their parents is what Rowling reintroduced. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:09 4
    - in terms of a single series with huge numbers of fans? nothing came close. -- nm - loosilu Feb 10, 11:11 3
      - Because parents and other adults weren't buying copies too. - Dr.Vermin Feb 10, 11:21 1
        
        For sure. There are huge children's books out now, that people who don't have kids wouldn't know about. - Amy Feb 10, 11:24
      - just because it wasn't doing massive numbers doesn't mean it was dead. just sort of invisible. -- nm - zork Feb 10, 11:16
- new Dallas, maybe. or some other remake show that's in the works. -- nm - zork Feb 10, 11:05
