OK - I am one of the biggest Hitchhikers' fans in the world and I would have no problem with the idea of them taking another swing at it. The BBC version in the eighties was great with the timing but even at that time the effects were terrible. The movie was just awful, awful, awful. I saw it in the theaters and while there was a few scenes that worked, most of it totally didn't. (The only time Sam Rockwell was ever bad in a role.) Recently tried rewatching on Netflix and it was worse than I remember - just felt completely tone deaf except for Martin Freeman as Arthur Dent. But yes, I would be all for a series and it might even get me to subscribe to Hulu if the reviews were good. (Though admittedly I didn't even watch Dirk Gently, but I wasn't a big Dirk Gently fan.) Doing it as a series where each of the books gives you maybe 6 episodes seems like a perfect pace. However, the books had very diminishing returns after the first 3 - though the 4th is decent the fifth and sixth I would say are not good at all. Having Carlton Cuse involved does not give me a lot of hope for it.
