Sci-Fi things

My housemate Liz is really into the Stargate tv series. I've watched a bit of it, and must confess that it is a pretty cool sci-fi series, and makes awesome references to the fact that MacGyver is on the cast (including using MacGyver as a verb!). However, it bothers me that in on the logo, the name is actually spelled STARGÅTE. This is done because, apparently, on the Stargate dealie, Å is the symbol for Earth. However, this means that the name really should be pronounced Star-Go-Tuh, or just Star-Goat. This has given me an idea for a children's show:

Star Goat and Friends.

Star Goat and Friends would be an animated series about a group of ethnically and culturally diverse children living on top of the mountain of Lochnagarr in Scotland, in a house balanced on the mountain's peak. The children would play around under the supervision of an androgynous person in a robe, the high priest of the Star Goat. The children would lead a merry life, regularly being visited by educated guests who would teach them about things such as how slate is mined or how to make a traditional Ethiopian meal. Then, at the end of every show, all would bow down as the (live action) Star Goat would appear on a giant screen and remind everyone what the day's listen is. The Star Goat's voice would be deep and sonorous, and he would speak Scots. Occasionally the English would invade, and would have to be fended off by the mighty will of the Star Goat.
