Something I've been working on over the months. 'Cyberchase' is still technically 'running', though it's newest episodes are the lowest form of edutainment garbage. they're REALLY scraping the bottom of the educational barrel, currently. They'll probably be teaching 'Gender studies' next. Primus help us all.

Anyway, in response [and pure disgust] I ended up coming up with a followup series called 'Cyberchase: Unleashed!' that takes place when the main characters [Matt, Inez, and Jackie] are adults. The starting premise is that the Hacker has been brought to justice at last and has spent the last few years in Datatraz Prison, meanwhile the Cybersquad has remained as Motherboard's do-gooder task force of sorts and have expanded their ranks to include Slider and Shari Spotter. However, Hacker isn't without a trick or two up his sleeve and plays a new group of unaware young kids into not only setting him free from Datatraz but also unleashing a newer, supposedly more powerful virus at Motherboard -still infected with the old virus; the end result of which being Daughterboard . Its up to the Cybersquad to bring in this new cyberbeing before she turns sour, and the new kids to stop Hacker's latest plan. And the series basically just takes off from there.

As well as character designs, I also have the basic structure of the show sketched out with very clear directions I want the show to go in. There are definitely newer, more mature elements put into this show [naturally, as the original characters have since grown up] but the kid-friendliness is still maintained through it's new Earth-kid characters, basically a basic, stand-alone episode will have the new kids as the focus while more serious episodes throw the older members in there.

As for the Mathematical elements? I suck at math, so I'll have to rely on writers who are good at throwing mathematic concepts into stories without disrupting said stories.

Yes, this is what I've been working on for months now; most of these [save for Digit, Hacker, Buzz, and Delete] are all hand-drawn and then digitally painted over ['cept for Daughterboard and Gadget]

and I've been wondering what exactly I should do with this series concept; should I send it directly to PBS for consideration, or start like a Kickstarter project or something and get the funding I need to hire writers, voice actors, animators etc. [ala 'Swat Kats; Revolution'] then send it to PBS?

UPDATE: With the recent passing of Gilbert Gottfried [Digit's voice actor] I'm not so sure how I'd proceed with getting this thing off the ground, since Digit will still be a major part of the lead cast, and no one I know can really do his voice like Gottfried could. Of course, a replacement VA isn't entirely out of the question, but again, Gottfried's uniqueness is very, very hard to replace.

Its funny, I'd for years been bracing for Christopher Lloyd to pass away before this pitch ever potentially became a thing, considering the very real possibility that he might not be around much longer [he's at least in his 80s] but at least with him, I could potentially see Jim Cummings filling in in his place. But Gottfried? I'm not so sure.

R.I.P. Gilbert, you were truly unique
