5 Other Stallone Characters That Need a TV Show

On August 22, 2013, Television Without Pity posted 5 Other Sylvester Stallone Characters That Need a TV Show.
When I clicked over to the article I thought I’d see Cobra, Demolition Man, and other of Sly’s action characters.  Boy, was I wrong.  Ethan Alter instead went with…
  1. Robert Hatch from Victory
  2. Nick Martinelli from Rhinestone
  3. Lincoln Hawk from Over the Top
  4. Sylvester Stallone from Burn, Hollywood, Burn
  5. Joe the Lion from Zookeeper
Props to Alter for thinking out of the box.

The Expendables as a TV Series?

News came out this week that there’s a rumor that a potential Expendables tv series could be in the works.  Now THAT would be cool if done correctly.  There’s the potential for story arcs a la the old Wise Guy series or the current Justified series.  Also an Expendables tv series could spotlight a regular team with guest stars for the Expendables movies.  I’d also suggest that the tv cast go into the series knowing that it’s called Expendables and that some of them could be.

Of course this is all speculation at this point.
