Lucy should be given a film

after rewatching a few of me favorite eps of Lucy (Vampire Choir Boys, Satan's School for Girls) i can actually see Lucy probably pulling off a film if given the chance. maybe if DVD sales are doing well and the fanbase is still going strong, it could turn out like Futurama.





i'm not sure how the plot would go for a Lucy movie, but here's one i'm just spitting out as i type this:





Lucy and **alf** decide to finally sleep together after dating for over a year. but when Satan finds out that Lucy is pregnant, he fears that her baby will nullify his plans to take over the world. so when he tries to find Lucy and convince her to have an abortion, the Special Fathers decide to come and protect Lucy to have her child be born. as this goes on, Satan grows furious as he summons hordes of Vampires and reanimates the recently deceased to horde on her child. at this time, **alf** goes through a life changing decision to either stop being a DJ and become a father, or leave Lucy and join her father.





that's all i got in the few seconds i thought of it, but the way the show is done, and with some episodes you can put together, it can be done as a film. maybe if Williams Street is willing to go for it if DVD sales do well, but i doubt it'd ever happen since it's not a major hit.

It could easily be done as a film.

Of course, lets focus on getting a real DVD (Not Make your Own, but a full blown DVD with commentaries, some special features, etc) out first, before asking for a movie. Don't want to be too greedy.

If I remember correctly, Lucy was canceled due to creative differences between Loren Bouchard and Adult Swim. This makes things a bit more complicated than the Futurama situation.

Each of the episodes was s'posed to be like a mini-movie crammed in 11 minutes. So for that reason and others, I think the idea of a Lucy movie has more potential than the idea of an ATHF movie, for example. (even though it's already been done.) Maybe that's just my inner desire for more character development than what was done in the series. But it seems like there are enough dynamics between the characters that you could fill 80-or-so minutes with plot. If not 80 minutes, then maybe a 44-minute (that's an hour's worth of TV) special is doable.

was it really creative differences? well, maybe if Bob's Burgers get uber popular on FOX, then there could be hope

Loren said that AS never thought the show was a perfect fit for the block. And that might be true, I dunno, but considering the variety of shows that air on AS I guess I have no idea what a perfect fit would actually be. I have zero insight into why the TV people make their decisions.

Yes. I agree with the title of this thread.

I'd also agree with it if "Lucy" was changed to "Xavier"...the Season 1 Xavier = ]

They may not have burned bridges, but they did blow one up.
