Posted on 08/06/2018 7:04:22 PM PDT by EdnaMode

With reboots being the biggest craze in Hollywood, it might be fun to predict which classic (and not so classic) shows might be rebooted next.

1. Mister/Miss Ed.

2. Punky Brewster

In this reboot. Punky, an undocumented immigrant from Mexico is separated from her parents at the border. Her parents are deported and Punky is adopted by Henry, her new foster father.

3. Mary Richards

4. Cheers

In this remake, a group of gay friends gather together at the local gay bar. They must deal with homophobia on a weekly basis. Sam the bartender is gender binary who is addressed as "they" and "them" by "their" colleagues.

5. ER

Set in East Los Angeles, the show features a cast of illegal alien characters who use the local ER as their primary care physician.

6. I Love Lucy

Ricky Ricardo, an undocumented Mexican immigrant and musician, marries Lucy, a transgender aspiring actress. Their landlords are Fred and Ethel, who are undocumented immigrants from Somalia.

7. Saved by the Bell: The Activist Years.

Maybe a mash up of Bewitched and Super Dave Osborne starring Hillary! where she smashes into random objects as she attempts to fly her broom, or walk, for that matter.

#58. You forgot to give the show a new name, such as “Married To Democrats”.

Sorry, I’m referring to George Jefferson and The Jefferson TV show. There were a few others with intentionally bad black role models. I could see them remaking these now with White Trailer Trash. It be fitting and par for the course today. And, of course, these would be Trump supporters.

>>Andy Griffith? What would political correctness and social justice war do to that one? Who would be the obligatory gay character?

>>Would Aunt Bee have a wild side we never saw before?

The retrocon group made Peter Parker's Aunt May a "hot young woman" (and got rid of Peter's nerdy glasses).

“Today” a daily news show where the on-air script ignores anything that was said or happened on a previous day.

No apologies for errors in reporting when yesterday’s claims are exposed a partisan lies.

No apologies for hypocrisy and double-standards (the Clinton one-free-grope, everybody does it, it’s just sex, nobody gets prosecuted for lying, etc.) for anything that was broadcast in the past.

Some changes...

In Family Affair, Mrs. Beasley is a mysterious neighbor that nobody has ever seen except Cissy (or maybe we'll make it Buffy). Or Mrs. Beasley could be like Mr. Wilson from Home Improvement where she's only partially seen through the gap in the chain-locked apartment front door.

New show I Married Joan, about the antics that surround the wife of a judge who keeps issuing edicts that overrule the President of the United States.
