There was only one Mel Sharples.

I can’t see anyone else other than Vic Tayback.

They tried restarting Kojak and it flopped. There was only one Telly Savalas.

“Moonlighting” was fun.

Robert Pastorelli ( Eldon ) died of an overdose in 2004.

Jay Thomas died in 2007.

Pat Corley ( Phil ) died in 2006.

So some of the best characters can’t return.

Yeah it seems pointless to bring it back without those actors.

Yeah the reboots are getting way out of hand. Cable and streaming have much better programming.

Yeah it’s ridiculous how many shows are being revived. Some of the revivals have definitely hurt the shows (24 Legacy, Heroes Reborn).

Murphy Brown downtown at the nursing home. First episode “Give me my Halcion, Damnit” 2nd Episode: Murphy naked in the hallway (blurred) holding up her dirty diaper and screaming— “Is somebody going to change this NOWWWW?”

How utterly irreleant to “revive” the dead history of what is now the finished product of insanity. Why not a remake of Mary Tyler Moore-— played by Sarah Silverman (with potty mouth)

What? No new show about a midget Filipino Fonzi?

Maybe that will be Murph's secretary.

It just says it all that Murphy Brown couldn’t be bothered to raise a fictional baby.

Is Murphy trying to raise the orphaned grandbaby?

Well, Robert Pastorelli won’t be back. He died in 2004 of an overdose.

Pat Corley died in 2006.

Never saw the show once, have no plans to ever start. I don’t like Bergen, find her off-putting.

Enough with these friggin “revivals”. Ok there are some I would watch, A few years ago they revived “Dallas” which ok I’m a crack addict for that but it got weird with bad writing and ratings tanked and it got cancelled just as they were righting the ship.

“Prison Break”, I was all over that.

There has been talk of bringing back the original “Law and Order”, I’d watch that.

But some of these man

I remember like 10+ years ago they revived a cop show from the 80’s “Hunter” with Fred Dryer, why?

They brought back “Will and Grace” because of the positive response they got from an anti-Trump voting PSA. Morbid curiosity, I caught 5 minutes, politics aside it was cringwothy garbage, they were having a pillow fight in the Oval Office somehow, commercial for the next episode had the queen in a pair of jeans too tight for him to stand up in, hahaha?

There is something called “Fuller House”, Kimmy Gibbler got it this way.

“Girl meets World”

“The X-files” is back, like herpes.

“Roseanne”

And now Murphy friggin Brown?

What’s next “Laverne and Shirley: Florida Nursing Home Edition”? Schlemiel Schlimazel, oh no I broke a hip.

The cast of “Cheers” is still alive, right?

How about “Mash” it went on longer than the war actually did so wouldn’t it be funny to have an elderly Alan Alda still there?

How about this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aPyc7dH28KE oh yeah

“Diagnosis Murder” before Van Dyke kicks the bucket?

From what I remember, it was like the “Mary Tyler Moore Show” with the warmth and charm removed and replaced with DNC talking points.
