1) This is not an original show. You are remaking a TV show that has already been made or turning a previously existing production (movie, video game, etc.) into a TV show.
2) There will be twelve rounds of drafting filling the following roles:
Name of show. (Required.) Include synopsis with any relevant changes that you would like to share. (Feel free to use IMDB's. Let's keep it to no more than a paragraph.)
Cast (Required.) Include the role that they will be playing once you have drafted your property.
Optional: Show runner(s), score composer, soundtrack artist(s) remaking a song or songs from the original, staff writers reworking the script, key grip, best boy, cinematographer, etc. Each counts as one selection.
3) Once someone (or something) has been drafted, they are unavailable for anyone else in any capacity.
4) All draftees must be currently active:
Alive
Have a listed IMDB credit in the last five years or in the upcoming two years
Must not have a credibly documented retirement
Must not have a documented history with the project that would make their participation in the film unlikely
5) Snake draft
6) Draft order determined by random.org
7) Disputes handled via poll. Upon confirming receipt of request, a poll will be put up and run for six hours. Polls can run seven days a week but no poll will start before 9AM or after 9PM Eastern. Drafting will continue while the poll is running.
8) Trades are allowed.
9) Winners decided via poll in rounds of 20, 10, 5 and 3. 48 hours each. Polls can run seven days a week but no poll will start before 9AM or after 9PM Eastern. Results hidden until the polls are complete. (In the event of a tie, tied parties move on to the next round.)
10) The show is being made in the relative present. (I.e., we are not making a show in the 60's but it can be a show from the 60's that you are remaking.)
11) Twenty participants will be selected on a first come, first served basis with the exceptions of participants in "Draft A Movie," who have been given advance sign up privilege. And me.
12) Any rule changes prior to the start of the draft will be decided by me and updated in the OP.
13) Any rule changes after the start of the draft will require a supermajority of participant votes (thirteen) in favor prior to adoption. (I will abstain from voting in rule changes.)
14) Each participant has a maximum of twenty-four hours for their pick. Once this window is up, the next participant is on the clock and the draft will resume as normal. The person with the lapsed pick can make their selection from anyone currently available when ready.
15) You have the option of designating the venue that your show will air on. (HBO, NBC, Netflix, etc.) This does not need to be drafted nor is it exclusive.
16) Filming locations/settings are not draftable.
17) If an individual is being used for multiple roles, each role would be considered a draft pick. (E.g., Say Tom Pink is drafted in the first round and then designated as a writer on the show. If they are also going to be designated as an actor in the show, this would need to be "drafted" in a subsequent round.)
18) If you are drafting a remake as your show to be remade, previous iterations of the show are still fair game. Subsequent ones are not.

Fresh off another bender and in need of a steady cash flow, Harvey Birdman (Hubel) reaches out to Moltar (Aukerman) to revive Space Ghost Coast to Coast while re-boots and talk shows are hot. President of HBO Programming Casey Bloys was the only executive to return Moltar’s call. He shared Birdman and Moltar’s thoughts on the nostalgia angle, and since “[John] Oliver refuses to do more than one f**king show a week” a contract was signed for a weekday talk show. Space Ghost (Hamm) retired and living in Barbados agrees on the condition that HBO pays him more than Bill Maher. Zorak (Aldon) looking for a bigger pay day himself relinquishes band leader duties for the title of head writer, while maintaining his on-camera side kick persona. HBO, going all in with the nostalgia, hires retired ThunderCat Lion-O (Thundercat) to lead the house band. Moltar reaches out to Brak (Andre) to give him an “executive producer” credit fearing he may retaliate for being left out, but how long until he finds out his title is meaningless? All the while, the scorned Black Widow (Fonda) is still in love with Space Ghost and feeling betrayed by fellow Council of Doom members Zorak and Brak. Joining forces with Metallus (McKellen) the two villains head for HBO headquarters.

Yeah, I would think that it would be fine to do a limited run series. It's becoming a lot more common now, especially with streaming services ignoring the standard TV season schedule. The standard of a 22 episode series that gets picked up or not at some point in its run is now just one of several models, right?
(As a matter of fact, my back up project is a limited run series.)
Are actors/actresses who have appeared in films but not shows allowed?
Sure. It's a new era and TV no longer is a lesser medium.
Whether or not the people who ultimately vote on the shows think that your casting is reasonable is another question...
To clarify: if an actor is on record as saying that they have no interest in working in television, that would pretty much make them ineligible though it could go through a challenge process, I suppose.
To add on to this, are we allowed to pick a particular production company if we want our TV series to be animated?
Well, production companies put out multiple shows at a time so that would not be exclusive and thus not draftable. It could be designated like we are designating the platform/network that the show would be broadcast on though.
That's my interpretation but I'm open to comments on this and reserve the right to change my mind before we lock in the rules if suitable persuaded to the contrary.
We're all a mess of paradoxes. Believing in things we know can't be true. We walk around carrying feelings too complicated and contradictory to express. But when it all becomes too big, and words aren't enough to help get it all out, there's always music.
If people are concerned about that aspect, I'm totally fine with saying no posters.
Sorry. I was being a smart ass. The posters are fun as hell for those of us who like that aspect. And I am 100% certain that they have zero bearing on the outcome of the draft.

Well, I don't have the ability to make my own so if I can find an excuse to ban them, I'm game.

The world is your oyster hun. This draft is your baby. You make the rules!! Or you ask SFA, the master of the photoshop universe around here, and you get a hellacool poster like I did.

Oh yeah! Now I remember. Well. He likes it. And we are kind around here, right? We are relying, once again, on your kindness to run this. Someone can at least make you a poster!!

Well, let's give it a day or two. We can do it with however many we get it's just that usually once it starts a few stragglers come in and say that they wish that they had the chance to sign up.
I feel like there were a few people who expressed interest during the last draft but I don't have the energy to go through it all to track them down. Anybody recall who it may have been?

Maybe post a notice in the movie draft so it comes up in peoples participated threads?

I had my whole thing all planned out, and then I just had an epiphany and I am changing everything now. I'm a little disappointed not to be doing my original idea, but the new idea is better.
