"That is not the only sf classic that will be turned into a sf TV series since 'Deadline' reports Robert A. Heinlein's STRANGER IN A STRANGE LAND will be turned into a series for SyFy! It tells the story of Valentine Michael Smith, a human who comes to Earth in early adulthood after being born on the planet Mars and raised by Martians. The novel explores his interaction with, and eventual transformation of, terrestrial culture. It predicted many of the movements and messages of the 1960's – from free love and hippie communes, to organized attempts at world peace."
From Hollywood Spy.

I enjoyed the book , ahem, a few years ago. It would have to be on cable if they are true to the sex and violence. |

That book is where Heinlein started losing it. Although there were signs earlier. |

I'll watch it … unless it goes way off the reservation. |

I enjoyed the book okay but I am not sure how it'd really translate to anything anyone would want to watch. |

As above. A classic of its time, but TV has a habit of "updating" and making things "relevant"… Ugh. |

looks for scenario material in a World War IV boardgame.
