one step closer to Gunsmoke reboot? hat tip TV Grim Reaper.
Theo was what seven when the show went off. Would make him 22, 23 today. Old enough to be a cop, but detective, no way not in the NYPD. Unless they are going the old soap opera route where the kid is six and the next year is 18.
Why don’t the networks put out a call for people to submit a script for $1 million dollars? There are plenty of ideas out there. No wonder streaming services and channels are killing traditional TV.
These stories just stink of desperation.
The “big three” networks have lost their audiences. Many watch cable channels, many use streaming services and many (like me) don’t watch much tv at all.
They will not lure me back by reviving or remaking classics (though I never watched NYPD Blue). If I want to watch these shows, I can buy the originals on DVD. No commercials, nowhere near the political correctness that permeates modern shows.
I suppose a MASH revival, this time set in Iraq with Jim Carrey as Hawkeye and Lena Dunham as a lesbian Hot Lips Hoolihan, is next in the offing.
Why don’t they just remake all of the programs from the 60s and 70s and 80s and tag them Next Generation or 3rd Generation, or Grand-Kids Edition, etc.?
Every remake/retool/reboot supports the fact that Hollow-wood is void of new ideas.
Flop
Never watched it when it was on. Won’t watch any new hatchling of it. Gives me more time to read, watch Netflix, and all the British programs I’ve downloaded over the years.
Is there so little creativity in Hollywood that remakes and comic books are the only avenue for production?
The lead should be fat, bald and not handsome. Franz carried that show but if I recall they always partnered him with the typical handsome actor type.
Freegards
Changing Donkey ?
Only good thing about NYPD Blue was Kim Delaney.
One of my sons posits the theory that a culture is in decline when it can only repeat what was successful in the past. They are rebooting one decades old hit after another, and music is mostly ‘covers’ of songs from earlier times. There really isn’t anything NEW on TV, in music, in films, etc. So maybe said son has a point.
So, NYPD Blue, The Next generation, featuring Squirt? Is Connie, Andy’s third wife, going to be around?
