I decided to rewrite the characters and the stories in this pitch to make it sound better. What do you think? CONCEPT A hybrid human dog bounty hunter leads his two companions on a quest to catch criminals for money and other rewards. They are known as The Play Dogs. In this future of high tech computers, advance genetic engineering, and solar power vehicles, humans coexist with a race of genetically created human animal hybrids, known as Paras (which is short for Parahumans). The enemies are not just your typical today criminals. Many are rogue mutants, evil cyborgs, mad scientists, renegade clones, corrupt corporations, bio terrorists, mobsters, thieves, and many more you could name. They all have a price on their heads, and it is up to the best professional bounty hunters for hire to bring them to justice. Many of these thugs want money; desire to steal genetic products, and other important stuff, which could bring a threat to the peace of the people. The Play Dogs must stop them or something terrible will happen. The Play Dogs is a mix of action, science fiction, comedy, and adventure with character driven stories and the awareness of how genetic engineering could affect the community around the world. IMAGINE. . . You are a new bounty hunter in the world of The Play Dogs. So what criminals you must catch to earn your rewards? You are chasing a bio terrorist, who is carrying a device, which will unleash a deadly virus upon the people in the city. The terrorist enters a dark warehouse and then locked you outside. When you busted the door open, you enter the warehouse cautiously. Suddenly the door closed, and then the lights flashed on. A group of thugs, who are the bio terrorist’s companions, surrounded you as they are pointing their laser guns at you. How will you get pass these thugs and catch the bio terrorist before he releases the virus? Your client sent you an e-mail of an offer to catch a scientist, who is smuggling muscle enhancement drugs to gangsters. The scientist is located inside a lab facility guarded by tight security. Your client wants you to catch the scientist without being detected by the corporation’s security or the scientist will escape. Can you reach the scientist without getting detected? You go underground inside a sewer tunnel to hunt down an escaped prisoner. But you encounter flesh eating mutant rats, who desire your taste. Can you get pass these monsters and find the prisoner hiding underground? SETTING The year is 2503 A.D, taking place in a futuristic technological cyberpunk world. There are solar powered cars, hover aircrafts, space shuttles, computers, genetic labs, etc. And everything runs on solar power, because the energy is easy to receive from the sun. Since 2100 A.D, genetic engineering became the most advance science on Earth. Scientists wanted to make people healthy and perfect for a better life. And genetic engineering became a solution to the people’s problems. By the time the scientists were able to combine human and animal DNA together, they were able to create hybrid embryos for medical research, thus creating the Para beings. The first Paras were used only as experiments to advance medical treatment; sought as organ transplants, gene transplants, and blood transplants. The Paras started to develop a dramatic need to find another purpose than being medical experiments for the humans. After escaping, they began a revolution against the humans. In order to end this civil war between humans and Paras, the president of the United States gave equal rights and freedom to the Para communities. The Paras became civilians in America, but not everybody thought of them as people. As technology grew, so did crime. New types of criminals like cyborgs, Paras, mutants, and clones started to harm many people including the Para community. The law enforcement system had to update their forces in order to stop these new threats. They built new weapons, new vehicles, and made new methods of catching dangerous criminals. Because of their improved security and enforcement, many criminals now went into hiding to avoid getting caught. That is why many bounty hunters are being hired in this world. Crime began to slow down, but it never stopped happening. THE MAIN CHARACTERS SPINYN He is a young Para hybrid cheetah dog. About 5’9 and 20 years of age. Has yellow spotted fur and yellow eyes.

He is a calm gentleman, who behaves very nice to people and enemies. When temper, he becomes a raging gorilla. King Goth is one of the most dangerous crime leaders on Earth. TPD EQUIPMENT THE CUBE: A prime tool use to catch criminals. How it works the bounty hunter throws the Cube at the target. When it opens near the target, it unleashes a flash of light, which breaks down the target’s atoms and molecules into pieces. Then it sucks the target into a pocket dimensional space inside the box. This criminal trapper is safe and easier to use to catch a crook. It works within minutes, sucking the criminal into another dimension inside the Cube. It can suck one or three targets at the same time. The Cube is white the size of a ring box. The bounty hunter has to stand away from the Cube, or he or she will get suck in too. MORPH GUN: This is a main weapon, which The Play Dogs use to defend themselves. Since bounty hunters are not allowed to kill their targets, they use this gun to turn their enemies into harmless animals instead. The gun blasts a light beam, which breaks down the target’s atoms and molecules. Then it reconstructs the target into an animal form within one second. The gun will need a DNA sample from an animal to know what type of animal the target should become. There are different types of Morph guns; pistol, sniper rifle, machine gun, etc. It can fire about a hundred shots, until it has to be recharge for two hours. It all takes one shot to turn an enemy into an animal. The Play Dogs mostly turn their enemies into chickens with their Morph guns.

I'm only a fan of animation, so my opinion is not really worth much, but I think Play Dogs is a rather dumb name, especially if they're a sort of crime fighting organization. Affect in what way? Don't you think that's a bit too complicated for a ten-year old? I think you're trying to mix a bunch of stuff that sounds good together and it's not really working, or at least not for a kids show, if it was for an older age group it could work with a lot of revamping. Like I said, I'm not expert in the matter so my opinion is just that, an opinion.
How about they are called Skull Hunters. And if they aim at teenagers, what channel should they be on?
