Will there ever be a new Voltron series? More importantly, why can't
anyone come up with an original idea anymore? Well, I'll lament that on my own time. Let's focus on the (non-existent)
new Voltron animated series. The original Voltron was a staple of many a Saturday morning TV diet in
the early 80s, and fans began to salivate when it was announced last
year that a brand new series was in pre-production. Unfortunately, that's the last anyone has heard about it. The flow of information
simply stopped and no one is quite sure exactly what the deal is. However, Kick Start Productions still lists
Voltron as "in production" on its Web site.
I'm rooting for the show to make it to the air, though my enthusiasm is diluted somewhat by the fact that revamping old
shows rarely makes for good television.

I loved this series as a kid. I guess you didn't see the horrible CGI version of the show called Voltron: The Third Dimension. IMDB says that there is a movie in the works for 2008, nothing about a new show though.
