Revitalizing A Franchise: Franchise Films Forms Franchise the Franchise

“The message will be confirmed with a Bible verse at the close of each episode. This will be replaced with writings from the Koran and Torah for various foreign markets. We still haven’t chosen the religious texts that will be used in India and countries with large Buddhist populations. We’re currently in talks with several prominent religious organizations and spiritual licensing consultants to work out the specifics.”

Kane explains where the focus of the franchise originated from, “We couldn’t decide whether to make the series for girls or boys so that’s when we came up with the idea of casting Timmy and Tonya as the leads with 65 Sent as their D O double G. That’s slang for dogg or partner. Also by making 65 Sent K-9’s son, we can have special guest appearances by the older K-9 for those retro throwback episodes,” said Kane-Jeeves.

If you don’t think one Franchise is a bold enough move, FEFCSI is offering the franchise as a programming block of four series, a TV special and an IMAX 3D film. The core series will be Franchise Follies modeled after Tiny Toon Adventures. The more action oriented show is titled 2F Unlimited. The more comedy centered show is titled The Uncanny and Ironic Misadventures of Timmy and Tonya with the Franchise Force. The action/comedy series is titled The Franchise. In addition, FEFCSI will offer an alternative adult version of 2F Unlimited titled 2F Unlimited 2 the X-treme, which will feature additional graphic violence and tentacle sex.

All the shows will be animated in Flash with some scenes in 3D to appeal to adult viewers and continue the recent trend of eliminating opportunities for skilled 2D workers.

“We hope that within six months we will be able to spinoff various characters into their own series, which will have a cast of new exciting characters for which we can spinoff at a later date,” said Kane-Jeeves. “Franchise will serve as our franchise creating machine.”

This was truly funny. But why stop there? I think the characters really would make a hilarious series. I think you should try and follow through.
