I wonder if they'll make red into a communist.

10 episodes might be sufficient. There’s a lot of potential. Especially if Kurtwood Smith and Debra Jo Rupp were able to play in their roles with Topher Grace and Ashton Kutcher being there. And that the show isn’t too PC. The show was made 22 years ago. It was a different country back then.

Nope.

I just can not see Forman’s parents as grandparents on a spin off. Just let sleeping dogs sleep.

Why can’t people come up with some original shows.

Recreating old shows never work out. Just not the same. i.e. Elaine, George and others. Seinfeld was the best comedy show I will ever acknowledge but I doubt even they could recreate a good show.

Having said that. I WISH THEY WOULD. I’m so tired of re-runs of re-runs... :-)

The 90’s is when things really started to fade in this country. The fall has been logarithmic since then.

Frasier was a spinoff from Cheers. So every once a while, spinoffs do work out. But they tend to be the exception, rather than the norm.

A remake of Seinfeld would only work if Larry David is behind it. Jerry isn’t funny without him.

I don’t think Larry David’s acting us particularly funny (Curb...), but if I imagine his lines coming from George Costanza? Hysterical!

Yup this will just be the 90’s rewritten to remove the “offensiveness” to make the 90’s acceotable to a 2020 audience. IOW, devoid of real humor.

Steven Hyde (Danny Masterson)

I'm guessing Masterson won't be invited back for a cameo. I'm sure he's pretty busy these days with his rape trials and all that.

Since I grew up in the seventies, I always thought that show was more nineties oriented.
