“Charmed”? Really?
“Murder, She Wrote” with a fat black lady? No thanks.
They’re pithing a new “Star Trek” show set in the alternate reality of the new movies?
“Remington Steele” — “NBC is planning a follow-up to the Pierce Brosnan-Stephanie Zimbalist ‘80s hit, this time as a half-hour comedy following the daughter of the original duo.”
WTF?
“Falcon Crest” — The original stars of CBS’s ‘80s primetime soap say they’ve been approached by “Crest” writers about resurrecting the series, a la TNT’s “Dallas.”
Okaaaaaay.
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous” — The ‘80s syndicated staple, with Robin Leach showing us how the super-wealthy live, is being revamped with Nick Cannon as host.”
Well.
I think we are reaching some kind of singularity where there are no more new ideas.
There are some different ideas, maybe not new, but Hollywood will never do them. Think how many stories could be set in a city-state that has gone Galt, for instance.
Complete vomit.
Notice the AA’s taking the place of honkeys? Yep...
Watch her scream in every episode. Don't get me wrong, Octavia Spencer is talented, but she needs to be doing a sitcom. People don't remember, but she was on one of the string of failed sitcoms on Comedy Central, "Halfway Home" about ex-cons in a halfway house.
“Falcon Crest”
I don't see the point here. It was nowhere on par with "Dallas" or "Dynasty." I could see a reboot of "Dynasty", as Joan Collins is still available and has kept herself in good shape. It's a damn shame they never got her Alexis and Hagman's J.R. together. That would've been fantastic.
“Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous”
I was a fan of this show and "Run away with the Rich and Famous." The problem is, back in the '80s, those celebrities you admired and wanted to hang out with. Most of them today are talentless, pampered, political little shits who party in rap nightclubs and drug out. I'd have rather spent time with a 70-year old Sinatra in the '80s than the soon-to-be-syphilitic Justin Bieber (and every time I see him, I just want to punch him in the face. Too bad Frank isn't around, he WOULD have punched him in the face).
"They’re pithing a new “Star Trek” show set in the alternate reality of the new movies?"
Please, no. Make it stop.
