Default Some licensed properties I would like to see SJG get for GURPS (but they won't)

GURPS: The 4400 -- this would make for a cool, modern relatively low-power psionics campaign with a lot of interesting socio-political ramifications. The occational uber-powered 4400 can be introduced (such as Lilly's child) to mix things up a bit... and the show is about to enter its third season so the production could coincide with the release of the show making for some fun to be had there.

GURPS: Battlestar Galactica -- the new series is amazing, and I love it. The 90-minute season finale was awesome. I love that they have taken the original (sub-par show) and used it as inspiration, not a blue-print. The new show is grittier, darker, and much, much more human than the original. And this combination, in my opinion, makes for some great Role Playing opportunities. I would love to see this in GURPS. But given that Steve Jackson has Traveller and Trans-Human Space (as well as a plethora of other in-house sci-fi settings such as Reign of Steel) I do not see this as something that is even pursuable, let alone profitable.

GURPS: F.L.A.G. -- The Foundation for Law And Government was the organization that Michael Knight worked for in the old television show Knight Rider. I think a relatively cool RPG setting could be made out of this organization by exploring other operations and operatives that this government agency seems to delve into. After all, here is a government agency that expends untold millions (billions?) of dollars, and employs what is for all intents and purposes, a vigalante to deal with things that fall under the radar of the FBI, NSA, and (I would guess, Department of Homeland Security, unless they would have been absorbed as well) around the country with no apparent source of income other than the government trough. Could be fun in a Charlie's Angels / The A-Team / McGuiver sort of way. Besides... I want stats for K.I.T.T., K.A.R.R., and GOLIATH.

:)

So... what licenses that you know are too small to be profitable do you still think it would be fun for SJG to acquire?
