The Golden Girls is being revived with an all-black cast, which includes Regina King and Tracee Ellis Ross.

The iconic sitcom - which ran for seven season between 1985 and 1992 - revolved around the lives of four white women living together in Miami, but the new project will seek to 'reimagine' the situation from a black perspective.

Fans should not get too excited about the beloved program returning to the airwaves, however, as the revival appears to be a one-night special set to be broadcast over Zoom.

and you’re all Racists if you don’t watch and praise it ,LOL

[miserare]

This will not work.

[albie]

The White people will always be wrong, selfish, dishonest and/or without character. Oh...and fat and stupid

[Fungi]

Won’t fly? It cannot even crawl.

[KarlInOhio]

How about a remake of Roots with Tobey Maguire as Kunte Kinte?

I want hear you say your name. Your name is Tobey. What's you name?
Tobey!
Cut!

[butlerweave]

If you watch TV and watch the Ads you’ll think White people are almost extinct

[Rummyfan]

Let’s redo The Cosby Show with an all-white cast.

With the titular character a successful GYNOB who in real life is a serial rapist?!

[Jane Long]

Amen.

[Rummyfan]

Did I miss where blacks suddenly became 72% of the country, and whites were reduced to 13%?

Yes I've been wondering that too.

[Secret Agent Man]

When will blacks make their own shows in their own studios and pay to o so from their own pockets like everyone else who had to build up a studio from the ground up, has done?

If its so bursting with talent and appeal, invest your money in yourelves and make it work, the idiot inferior white folks did it.

[philippa]

Terrible idea. The original is funny because they cast four talented comic actresses, who had great chemistry.

[PghBaldy]

He mostly drugged and raped white women, IIRC.

[Stravinsky]

Everything that is white must be erased or updated. That’s the message being sent by Hollywood. And people wonder why white nationalism is on the rise.

Anyway, I doubt the Golden Girls would have been the success it was with different white actors let alone black ones. The four had great chemistry on camera.

[TomGuy]

May it be as successful as Cedric the Entertainer as Ralph Kramden in The Honeymooners movie.

[That remake was one of the worst disasters, financially, in movie history.]

And game show Supermarket Sweep to have a black female host

And DWTS ousts Tom and Erin, replaced by Tyra Banks

Gee, what are the odds?

[TribalPrincess2U]

Embarrassing!

[cloudmountain]

He mostly drugged and raped white women, IIRC.

That isn't what I heard but then WHY did he keep getting women (any of them) to go with him? SURELY the word would have spread...unless white women are just TOO stupid to believe in anything but their own hormones.

You left out “drunk” Dean Wormer
