I have no doubt that it was probably a good show, however I refuse to support anything that bases it's casting decisions on PC'dness. And the people that do will ultimately give rise to other remakes based on PC'dness.
Next up Multicultural Gilligans Island (Don't laugh the idiot director that wrote the first one is/was in the process of doing just this). It's not a male/female/black/white issue for me, it's a "PC sucks" sorta thing.
I fail to see how a cigar smoking female fighter pilot is PC!? Women can actually take higher G forces than men, I expect that most fighter pilots are women 20 years out. That is except for the RPV fighters. And a woman smoking a cigar is kind of a slap in the face of Nags.
