Really??? Something like 75% of the jokes from the movie will not even past muster in today's PC culture. The cast of the movie had some of the greatest comedic talents of the era.

[Obadiah]

I predict epic failure.

[relictele]

Cue the bomb whistle.

I agree. The film would melt many a snowflake, so I do not see CBS making a series that resembles the movie. If anything, it will be loosely based on the film.

More stupid and irrelevant ideas from “GrabmyWood”, CA.

A chance to be Super Diverse . There was no story just the Great people in it

[GotMojo]

Lighten up Francis!

From M*A*S*H to A*S*H.....................

I was a kid when it was out but I still remember the “Aunt Jemima Treatment”

Any of you homos touch me ... and I'll kill ya.
Lighten up, Francis.

My basic training platoon was pretty much like the Stripes platoon but it wasn’t that funny.

[poinq]

This can only be a huge let down.

[UCANSEE2]

More proof that Hollywood has completely run out of ideas.

[gaijin]

“come on guys, dance! black guys help the white guys..!”

I’m white and I think that’s a funny line but you’re going to have some black activists say something like, “We are not obligated to teach people how to dance! we are not dance instructors..!!”

sooo much of this movie will just make people angry.

Could You remake Blazing Saddles or airplane?

absolutely not.

how about history of the World Part 1..?

no.

[Buckeye McFrog]

Cuz the 36 year gap makes NOW the right time.

The movie was based on the Carter economy and the Carter post-Vietnam Army. And where are they going to find a cast anywhere near Murray, Ramis, John Candy, or Warren Oates (or Joe Flaherty as Czech border guard - "Heh, heh, Chicago, bang bang")?

And if it's going to be broadcast on See BS, no shower scene!

I had an offer for a speaking role in that movie.

I was stationed at Ft. Knox, where the movie was filmed.

I had to ask my Commander if I could be in the movie.

He looked at me and said,

“You can either be a Soldier or an actor. You can’t be both. And frankly, with your face, I would recommend you stay a Soldier.”

I’ll bet I would have won an Academy Emmy or something.

As I type this the end credits are rolling on this movie showing on Starz Encore Classic.

There is no way anybody under the age of 45 will even understand it if they have it play ouy in the same time-frame.

I don’t even want to contemplate the abortion it will be if they try to base it on current times and events using the limited form of humor that our current PC culture will allow. Four or five episodes and it will be pulled.

[trisham]

Isn’t there anyone in film today who has an original idea?
