A New TV Show Idea (Involves "Time Shifts")

I think I could put this in this forum section, because in a way it has to do with folklore, urban legends, and time machines. The tv series I'm working on writing is going to be called, Nostalgia, at least that's the title I've come up with so far. Maybe I'll find one more fitting as time moves forward.

Ummm I think its been done in book form. Indian in the cupboard? But Hollywood loves new spins on stuff so go for it :-)

Hope you got your stuff copyrighted cuz someone can totally steal that idea and make money off it now before you ever get a shot to. And a post on ATS won't get you far in court. Not trying to be mean. If you legit want to sell a story/idea/screenplay, you have to keep it to yourself or get copyrighted. Don't tell everyone on the internet.

I remember the book yeah.

I wanted to create something that EVERYBODY could relate to. People who live in today's age, people who lived in the 80's and 90s (or earlier) and even the future.

Understood, I would try thinking about it more along the lines of temporal anomalies and paradoxes and how the characters react to and try to fix them without causing more anomalies....

That's true, like what consequences could happen if Obama were president when Lincoln ended slavery? haha (yeah right that'd never make it on tv)

TV shows and time have been done before.

TV Series with time travel, etc.

Unless the OP posts a seasons worth of Screenplay, he doesn't have anything that can be stolen. It's all been thought of before.

And he is Copyrighted, as soon as you put your pen to paper, or type something, you are copyrighted. Unless you are posting on a site, forum that takes full rights from you in agreement.

Sounds eerily familiar. Maybe someone from this thread will go back in time to write this show?
