Great show whose re-boot is guaranteed to suck. It worked in the 70s because it was politically incorrect.
“Great show whose re-boot is guaranteed to suck. It worked in the 70s because it was politically incorrect.”
And because there were actual recognizable network stars.
I loved that show. It was fun.
Won’t work this time for a bunch of reasons.
1) Network TV has stars? I defy you to name six of them for me. Back in the day most of the people knew who most of the stars were, even if they didn’t watch their shows. Today for the most part they don’t know, and they’re not watching.
2) The networks are fighting over pieces of an infinitely smaller pie. I have my doubts that the others are going to allow their talent to work on a show that would boost ABC’s numbers, even for one hour per week.
3) Like you said, politically correct. They’ll be afraid of Feminist blowback over T&A (even though that was proven to draw viewers). 90lb. women will insist on wrestling former NFL players, etc.
