You might not realize it, but the version of Charles Dickens’ classic A Christmas Carol with which you are familiar is actually based on the first, unfinished draft. Fortunately, the Shark at Work crew recently unearthed the final manuscript, which, due to a clerical error on the part of an unpaid intern at Dickens’ publishers, had been languishing for the last 167 years under a stack of uncorrected copies of Louisa May Alcott’s never-published Sci Fi series, Little Genetically Unclear Beings. And since we love literature so, we took it upon ourselves to bring to life the version of the story that Mr. Dickens intended the world to see. We begin shortly after the Ghost of Christmas Future has departed… the point at which the two drafts begin showing major differences:
Does the title of this reality series sound like a bad ’80s breakup song? Answer: YES.
Do I sing in this video? Answer: YES, but only briefly.
Is this the third question in this post? Answer: Shhhhhh…
What happens if the regular folks on the show don’t want to go back to their mundane, non-celebrity lives? I smell awkward cross promotional sponsorship deal!
Gosh I hope “Teen Wolf” is about a pack of were-mothers being hunted by elite social workers? Also, how many more weeks before MTV’s inevitable announcement of “Teen Grandma?” SO MANY QUESTIONS SO LITTLE… who cares.
Will SyFy’s budget impact just how extraordinary The Alphas superpowers turn out to be? I sure hope it’s more “Battlestar Galactica” than “Sharktopus.” But then, I’m also kind of hoping it’s more “Sharktopus” so I can enjoy Alphas on the same level as “The Room.”
