I love to bask in the glory of my internet notoriety!
Even if there are only 41 people who may be peripherally aware of it.

Only one??? Why did these polls have to become difficult? Both aspects of Booster are what endear him to me as a character. Arrgh! Choices...

Way to throw me under the bus BOOSTERRIFIC, now ANOTHER 41 people are going to hate me. LOL

Seriously though, if it's just for the start (say the first season) of the series, being a "public" hero makes becoming a "secret" policeman later that much more interesting. And it keeps with Booster's own personal journey through the comics.

Oh, Grimmy. That bus didn't need my help, what with you already laying there and all.

Better yet! Put a cartoony artist like Cully Hamer or Albuquerque on the book and if possible, turn it into a Johnny DC book for children and fans alike!

GRIMMY HATE QUESTION!!!!

QUESTION MAKE GRIMMY HEAD HURT...

Seriously man, why do you keep doing this to me? The adventures of a digital ONLY, "fictional" TV Booster? Really? I want my "real" Booster on "real" paper, I want my cake and eat it too, I want my MTV ... uhh sorry got carried away.

Yes, I love Booster, but yer makin' me take a huge leap here (not easy for an old fat man). Of course if it was an easy question it wouldn't be as much fun.

I'm just worried about what a comic adaptation of the "TV series" could do to Booster in the long run. I like Eyz idea about a Johnny DC style book so we can get the next generation of Booster Busters young.

This show is at the moment my best hope for the return of his solo series.

(crosses fingers)*please be as good and funny as Eureka/Warehouse13/Haven/Alphas*

Just kidding. This is good news any day of the year.

Very cool! I missed this, as I was traveling last week, but I'm glad to see it's moving forward. I kinda feel like the biggest challenge will be getting the pilot greenlit. It'll be expensive, but once it's made I have a feeling it'll get an order.

russburlingame posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 10:59 AM
I think part of the issue is that Arrow's script was already written and sold to the studio, whereas they basically picked Booster's name out of a hat and had to hire someone to write it. I could be wrong.

Morgenstern posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 12:14 PM
This had me worried a while back and tried to find more info about the...well..lack of infos. What I found was a comparison to the Syfy show Alphas, where between ordering the first script, announcing cast infos and actually airing the pilot a year passed each.

For Booster this would mean (using the same time-scale) that we would get the first infos about casting & crew in fall and the pilot would air the next. Now I am not claiming that this means that the pilot is safe, but rather that there is still some chances for it. (Further CW is in dire need of new Pilots quickly. Syfy not so much)

Also..uh..has anyone tried to simply ask Kreisberg or Berlanti Productions if they have any updates on Booster Gold?

Sorry. I wasn't trying to say that the show was never going to happen. I was just trying to suggest that it is unlikely to happen this year. I still hope.

deusex2 posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 2:55 PM
GAH! I can't believe they picked Green Arrow over Booster Gold! CURSE YOU SMALLVILLE! And curse Smallville fanboys!

*breathes in and out*I'm calm-ish.

I guess it's tolerable, so long as there's still a chance. I mean hey-I've waited several years for BG to appear on Smallville! Waiting another year shouldn't be much of a challenge.

But still, darn...Who in his right mind would pick a dude in a green costume with a bow over Booster Gold?! I mean even Booster's comics were always more entertaining than GA.

Jesster posted on Mar. 20, 2012 at 6:03 PM
All I have to say is that at no time in Booster Gold's history has he ever been blown up and replaced by his illegitimate son, and that alone makes him 100% more marketable. Plus Booster has the superior supporting cast with Rip and Michelle, not to mention the greatest partner any hero or TV show could ever want in Skeets. Really the possibilities are endless and it just goes to show that Hollywood doesn't know a great idea when it time travels their into their lap. Maybe we should all get together and produce our own pilot to sell.

Grimmy posted on Mar. 21, 2012 at 11:05 AM
I actually hope that we don't see Booster by this fall (don't everyone shoot me just yet), considering how little (none) information we've had since the order for a script. Which I take to mean no significant action has occurred on the project yet. So if a Booster pilot does make it to the screen by this Fall it will probably be a hastily assembled low quality project, not good for anyone. My plan is to wait patiently for further updates through the Summer and hope for some good news by Thanksgiving.
I think the news that "Arrow" is far enough along for a Fall release is actually good news for Booster, it just means that Kreisberg is probably freer to work on a "Booster" script.

My heart screams YES! but my gut remains skeptical. As a whole the SyFy channel is just terrible IMO. Which is a shame because when I was growing up the SciFi channel was great. If this show ever makes it to tv I hope they do it justice. I've never been a fan of the live action dc shows (smallville, lois & clark, birds of prey, the flash) so I'm hoping for the best here.

Curt posted on Nov. 23, 2011 at 8:01 PM
As am I. But the sheer fact that they are making it means that finally Booster is getting the real recognition he deserves! Or is he being made the centerpiece of a media nightmare? Let's hope its the first one.

Battlestar wasn't THAT long ago. Caprica was quality too, just didn't catch.

Give them good material and it'll stick.

deusex2 posted on Nov. 24, 2011 at 12:11 PM
Personally. I enjoyed watching No Ordinary Family and knowing that the same guy can be possibly working on Booster Gold series gives me hope for a good superhero show.

Aside from that,it's like a dream came true! :)

Eyz posted on Nov. 24, 2011 at 12:18 PM
Calm down guys. Honestly, I wanna believe in a syfy Booster Gold show.

A Scifi superhero on a main network? I wouldn't have...but on Syfy? Seriously?

I do like Syfy current shows quite a lot, great directors and writers around that channel. (like Warehouse 13, Eureka, Haven, Alphas... so many well done shows, even on small budgets)

I have high hopes for this. The crew behind Warehouse 13, the ex producer of Fringe and Booster Gold on the current SyFy channel? It all sounds pretty promising.

At least we'll get a fun, exciting light hearted pilot if not a whole show.

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Nov. 24, 2011 at 2:37 PM
Oh, I think Hollywood has conditioned us fans to expect a poor translation from comics to screen. And SyFy's track record isn't all hits: the company is far more concerned about bottom line accounting than producing good television, resulting in such dubious offerings as Shartopus and Mansquito. (I know that I am in the minority, but I HATED the new Battlestar.)

We fans have every right to be wary. Booster Gold: The Television Series would be a rare exception if he meets our high expectations. I'm excited and hopeful, but I think that a healthy dose of skepticism is probably warranted here.

deusex2 posted on Nov. 25, 2011 at 3:46 AM
While I would normally agree on both accounts, it still is Booster Gold we're talking about here. And one thing we all fans know is that you can't go wrong with Booster Gold.

I mean what could possibly go wrong? :)

The Irredeemable Shag posted on Nov. 26, 2011 at 11:00 PM
While I'm thrilled a series is being discussed, I'm firmly in the skeptical camp. I'd be surprised if it's made, and I'd be even more surprised if it's good.

With that said, I REALLY hope I'm proved wrong.

To all skeptics out there, let me just point out that the majority of people on this site used to watch Smallville...And even if you didn't, you still watched it, even if only for Booster's cameo.

So with that in mind...Good or bad, is that so much of a difference when we all know that we all are going to watch it anyway? :)

 Boosterrific [Official Comment] posted on Nov. 27, 2011 at 3:20 PM
You are right, deusex2. I'd still watch the show if turns out to be as bad as the third season of Heroes. But that doesn't mean I have to hope for a bad television show, does it? I have a complete run of EXTREME JUSTICE just because Booster is in it, after all. That doesn't mean that they are good or that I could recommend them to anyone unfamiliar with my favorite character. Same case with this TV show.
