Alice Reboot Eyed at Fox

TV Line ^ | October 16, 2018 | Michael Ausiello

[Repeal 16-17]

Why not reboot Maude?

Because Bea Arthur would come back from the dead and kill the studio heads.

Why does Susan Collin’s remind me of Edith, ? “oh I don’t know Ahhchie...”

[fieldmarshaldj]

No Vic Tayback, no Alice, no dice.

“Kiss my grits” is the worst and most overused catch phrase in the history of television.

But it was a great campaign slogan for Jimmy Carter ...

[wally_bert]

There can only be one Mel Sharples.

There are so many scripts that could/should be written about the Millenials. Is it that the majority of this young demographic doesn’t have enough self awareness or sense of humor to enjoy any kind of parody? Too bad. That’s a sign of someone taking themselves way too seriously.

[scottinoc]

I’ll give them one thing, writing was pretty decent back then. And once Bea even consented to have John Wayne do a cameo on the show and ask if her character was Walter’s “little lady”. Pretty good stuff compared to today’s pure PC.

[smvoice]

*😳* WELL didn't WE just disagree.LOL! That show wasn't a Don Rickles kind of comedy. It was a "THIS" is what white people REALLY think behind closed doors.

[edh]

I can’t believe that show ran until 1985 ... wow.

[lee martell]

Linda Lavin is still active in Hollywood today, but I hope the lead is given to another actress. Let some new people have a chance to be seen.

Speaking of retreads, wonder how the Murphy Brown retread is going? I heard Hillary made a guest appearance the other week. (Ugg!)

[RooRoobird20]

.....because the other reboots like “Magnum PI” were BRILLIANT ideas!

[mylife]

I think it’s dead Jim.

[cherry]

that was an okay show...the southern blonde made it special.....

[bigbob]

I’ve long expected “All in the Meathead Family”

[political1]

Polly Holliday is still alive. She is 81. An 81 year old Flo would be funny. “Kiss my grits.”

[chris37]

Oh, for Christ’s Sake.

[usconservative]

LOL! Hey, even as a teenager back then I loved that show because they skewered everyone.

I'd still pay good money to see an unadulterated showing of "Blazing Saddles" on OTA TV today. The outrage it'd stir-up would be worth it!

[Secret Agent Man]

Let me be the first to say, “fail”.

[mass55th]

They can reboot all they want. I never watched this show when it was on the first time, and won’t be watching it if it’s brought back. With all the crap these networks have been airing, I’ve whittled down my TV viewing quite a bit since last season. Gives me more time for Netflix, and British programs.

Next thing you know, “One Day At A Time” will be coming back,
with Valerie Bertinelli in the late Bonnie Franklin’s role as Mom.
