Biggie Smalls' Ghost as Children's TV Star in Upcoming "House of Wallace"

The ghost of Christopher Wallace (better known by his stage names The Notorious B.I.G. and Biggie Smalls) is set to star alongside his children in a new animated series titled House of Wallace.

The series will follow Biggie's two children, C.J. and T'yanna Wallace, as they attempt to keep their late father's recording studio in business. Along the way, the two kids will be aided by the friendly spirit of Biggie.

The ghost of Biggie Smalls (who is probably not going to be summoned by saying his name three times in the bathroom mirror a la South Park) is expected to be a central character in the series "appearing to the children in ethereal form to guide them through the adversities they face as they struggle to preserve their father's labor of love," according to a synopsis.

The Notorious B.I.G. was shot and killed in 1997 at the age of 24. His murder has yet to be solved.

"It's been 16 years since our dad was murdered and we miss him dearly. ... It is such an honor for us to be able to carry on his legacy, not only through his music but also by channeling him through our own creativity. This project, 'House of Wallace,' is a great opportunity for us to bridge the gap between our parents who loved his music and the kids and young adults our ages, that were not around to really appreciate it," T'yanna and C.J. Wallace said in a statement.

Ossian Media, the company behind the show, says that viewers should expect musical guest appearances, new songs and re-workings of several of Biggie's classics.

"Ossian is excited to commence work with C.J. and T'yanna on this project. Furthermore, it is Ossian's distinct honor and privilege to be entrusted with furthering the legacy of one of the world's greatest modern musical talents," President Wally Eltawashy said in a statement.

The show is being shopped around and has yet to be picked up by a network. If there was any question about the show's cash-cow-ery, Eltawashy confirmed it with this gem from the statement.

"The show's creative format will allow for advertising integration in the truest, purest sense of the term -- this could well be the very first animated program to incorporate creative shops [and their brand partners] directly into the narrative."

Ugh. This show is set to be the only thing that owes more to the ghost of Biggie Smalls than Sean Combs' career... I'll show myself out.

What do you think? Would you watch a Biggie-centered animated series? Is this a blatant cash grab or do you think they will do the legacy of Christopher Wallace justice?
