Futurama would be a fantastic collaboration for TTG. Their sense of humor would blend nicely and the stories lend themselves perfectly to point and click adventures.
I'm still dying for a new Day of the Tentacle game that will likely never happen.
Blackadder - one of the greatest British comedy's of all time (ignore season 1).
The setup is perfect for a TTG title as it can be set in any time period and is a comedy dripping with sarcasm and rapier wit, Edmund gets involved in some scheme to get ahead that usually backfires or the world conspires to put him in harms way with him trying to doge the bullet.
The problem is the level of writing on Blackadder is something I seriously doubt Telltale could ever replicate though the fan in me knows there will never be any more Blackadder so I'd like to see them try.
The second problem is the voice acting, without the original cast it wouldn't be the same. You could definitely get some of the cast to reprise their roles like Tony Robinson maybe even the reclusive Rowan Atkinson - he's semi retired & wouldn't have to act on screen just collect a paycheck.
I doubt you'd ever get Hugh Laurie (most Americans know now as Dr House) same goes for Tim McInnerny and Stephen Fry unless they knew the others were up for it.
One can dream at least, never thought I'd see Back To The Future by Telltale...
How about something based on the Dresden Files books by Jim Butcher. Maybe with James Marsters reading the Dresden part. (He does a really great job reading the audio book versions of the Dresden Files.)
If you aren't familiar with the series, its basically a mix of magic & noir. Dresden is a Wizard/Private eye who works with the Police from time to time. Its very enjoyable. If you look about the internet for a bit, I'm sure you can find a Audible offering up one free book, and all the Dresden books are now available.
