Narnia and Middle Earth's storylines are very well defined. They have one clear source-the original authors. There's the books they wrote and the movies adapted directly from the books (allow me to emphasize that the movies try to, within their reasonable limitations, tell the exact same stories as the books), there's not really any new and different versions that are as culturally ingrained as the originals. With everything else on the show, however, there's already a vast quantity of different versions out there, some even more famous than the originals.

With Narnia and Middle Earth, everyone sticks to the originals. With everything else, they are far more culturally ingrained in the sense that people twist them all the time, tell different versions, etc.

That's how I can say they're a different kind of classic. Make sense? :)

Funny, this time you took the words right out of my mouth! Yes, I missed someone telling us to stop because I hadn't reloaded the page, so I didn't see that until after I posted my post and you posted the response I'm responding to now, pointing it out-which was when I went and saw it. ;) Yes, thank you for a reasonable thought out reason(s) for why you wouldn't want to see them, now I understand. The only conter-argument to your reason I have would be that the reason people haven't done their own take on Middle Earth or Narnia yet is because these books are newer than everything else that has been covered so far. Eventually, people are going to make other stories, etc. about these beloved worlds, and I, for one, would be more than happy to see Eddy and Adam be one of the first to do it.
