Cool, I hope they find someone to watch it.
Hollywood is now literally saying “Whites Need Not Apply” to several of their lead roles. Why not allow actors of all races and ethnicities to audition and pick the best actor for the role? Had these rules been in place in the past, most of the classic TV series would have had very different casts.
No wonder nobody watches ABC/CBS/NBC anymore.
Wait a minute! You mean Cagney and Lacey are not gonna be a couple of lesbos?
Queer blacks?
No lesbians or poofters?
Hollywood has officially run out of ideas.
If it was being rebooted today, Hawaii 5-0 would make McGarrett a lesbian and Danno a trannie.
But for the most part this whole knock-off, prequel, sequel, reboot, and relaunch trend just shows creativity is all but dead. Movies *and* TV.
They are eliminating white people in the ads, too. Every white person has a black child
“ABC’s The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining Steven J. Cannell’s 1981 cult classic, in which the unlikely (super)hero at the center Ralph Hinkley was played by William Katt. In the reboot, it is Meera, an Indian American woman.”
Oh, for crying out loud. They have to ruin everything.
I hope the new Magnum drives a Prius.
Or maybe it was Lacey.
I don't think they referred to that in the show.
This must be because 80% of the US population is black, 50% are gay, and 60% are trannies.
Of course.
I wonder how African Americans will feel about a black Magnum working as a servant on a large estate for a white Robin Master?
Place your bets...do they last beyond one season?
I predict they will be quickly canceled.
Meanwhile, I’ll be watching the real Magnum on DVD. Why watch a pale imitation when you can view the original?
He was only Ralph Hinkley for a few episodes after the show debuted. Right after the assassination attempt on Reagan by John Hinckley, the character's name was changed to Ralph Hanley. In any event, Robert Culp made the show. It would have bombed without him then, and it will do so with the remake.
Of course, “inclusiveness” doesn’t include straight white males — or conservatives of any gender, race, or orientation.
“The Greatest American Hero is re-imagining ... In the reboot, it is Meera, an Indian American woman.”
Some of these Indian women on TV today are ridiculously hot ... if she’s hot and in a form fitting spandex outfit, that’ll work for me ;-)!
But the perps will never be minorities. No diversity there.
Rule for all cop shows: A minority can be a suspect, but in the end it will turn out that they were being profiled and stereotyped and they were not only innocent, but also a genius and a hero.
When the author of the Broadway musical “Hamilton” said he wanted a cast that looked like America, he had to go on to explain he meant, “no whites”.
They aren’t even pretending anymore.
