It will be a school of Hispanic, midget, transgender men with an S&M dorm mother who is cis-female but identifies as a book.

How pathetic. And then they’ll cry the blues when their network ratings go down. I never watched any of those shows when they were on the first time, and I’m certainly not going to watch them now.

Porter Wagoner’s ‘Cold hard facts of Life’. Love it!

It will be a reboot all left: With 6x homosexuals doing the naked nightie pillow fights.

... as reboots continue to be in high demand ...

Bull. Very few of the reboots ever work.

My wife had enjoyed Lethal Weapon on Fox, one of the few that has been successful, but Wayans saw fit to get the main actor removed who helped made that reboot work. That show's ratings are going to crater going forward. My wife has already sworn off next season, removing the show from our DVR.

LOL. Yep you wonder what they will do.

Weren’t they just normal teenage girls in that school.all those years ago? What are the odds that they just let them be normal teenagers this time around? In this politically correct era?

Exactly. Only a couple of the reboots have succeeded. Most of them had mediocre low ratings, and even those that did well at the beginning faded (Will & Grace, X-Files).

“one of the longest-running comedies of the ‘80s ”

Pathetic is right! This type of crap is about as dated as it gets. Won’t be funny; never was.

Another reboot?

They might have better luck remastering the originals for digital TV, but then they would run into PC problems.

But, when they dilute the rebooted series with PC, it likely won’t stay on very long.

Most reboots seem to be ‘forced’ on us for 2 seasons of 10-12 episodes and then die. Occasionally, a reboot will resonate, however, but those are few and far between.

What’s the point? Things like dope and six and homosexuality or no big whoop for teens these days. What’s the point

Lisa Whelchel is a Conservative Christian, she wanted no part of a story line where she would have had an abortion, she won’t be a lesbo that’s for sure
