Okay, since no one was posting on my musical series pitch, I'm going to go ahead and pitch a series that I've actually been planning for a really long time but I always forget to pitch it... so yeah. Here goes!

The series is titled "Tesser Twins". It focuses around twins Maxine and Martin Ryan and their best friends Bob Jackson and Elsa Mae. In the pilot we learn that Maxine and Martin don't really get along very well, and they get in a fight during dodgeball that lands them, Bob, and Elsa in detention. On their way to detention they see the janitor's closet, which is usually locked, has its door open with colorful flashing lights from inside, and Martin and Elsa go to see what's inside (against Maxine's wishes). They see their geeky and often-picked-on janitor Albert T. Bell (free virtual cookies if you can figure out where his name comes from) working on strange electronics. He's forced to explain that he built a dimensional traveling machine in order to find the Tesseract Shards (mysterious objects that can give their possessor ultimate power) and finally located the first one, but he can't go after it because he's kind of wimpy and old and would probably be badly damaged by the journey. So Maxine volunteers the four to do it for him (even though Martin, Bob, and Elsa aren't completely sold).

So basically the series is based around Maxine, Martin, Bob, and Elsa travelling through dimensions and hunting down Tesseract Shards while also going to school and having a normal life. It's kind of based off of Penn Zero, but live-action with more school scenes, and instead of replacing people in the dimension they just go into disguise as four "new people". There's a villain, too- Black Shard. He has a Tesseract Shard permanently implanted into his forehead keeping him alive even though he's heavily mutilated, and he wears a black metallic suit to hide his body. He wants the Tesseract Shards because he's evil and wants power.

So... what do you think?
