Tony Shaloub ala Monk should be their leader/adviser.
More Mel Sharples Hat.
For the love of God, NO MORE REBOOTS! This just proves there’s no original thought in the brains of Hollywood writers anymore.
I remember re-runs of that show from when I was a kid...’”there’s a new girl in town something something”. The opening song wasn’t bad, the rest of the show was.
Next they will restart the Korean War for another 20 season of MASH.
What about “up your nose with a rubber hose.”?
Why?
LOL, that definitely seems possible.
Is that from 'Welcome Back Kotter'?
Yep. The worst show ever made.
Thanks for confirming. It was pretty bad. Room 222 before it was pretty awful too but featured early SJW types, no attempts at humor involved.
The guy who said it was only allowed to carry ONE cartridge in his breast pocket.
What do I win?
Never saw it. You liked?
So, they are literally gonna remake EVERYTHING?
Falcon Crest?
Seaquest DSV?
They could set it in a city that legislates $15/hr and by the end of the first episode the diner will be kaput.
It was OK. Hokey on viewing it now. But who really made the show was Vic Tayback and Polly Holliday. It was meant as a vehicle for Linda Lavin, but I thought she was the weak spot on the show (an odd choice to take over from the film version’s Ellen Burstyn). Beth Howland was oddly endearing (you always wanted to give the poor girl a hug).
As what happens frequently, Lavin was badly outshone by Tayback and especially Holliday, who became an instant star. Lavin apparently really hated Holliday stealing her thunder, and was happy when they gave her a spin-off show, which (unfortunately like “Checking In” and “The Ropers”) was a fiasco, although it did get her an Emmy nomination. They didn’t bring her back (though curiously they did bring in Diane Ladd, who originated Flo in the film, but she played a different character. She didn’t prove as popular, though). Although Polly Holliday has continued to work, she never quite had that stardom again.
Not particularly interested in these remakes. Hollyweird needs to do something original for a change.
BTW, I see they had the premiere of the Roseanne backstabbers show. Refused to watch it for obvious reasons. There’s something to be said for loyalty. Another FReeper said if any of them tried to quit, they’d have been sued by ABC lawyers. I said all they had to do was say they agreed with Roseanne (or that she had the right to air her opinion)
and they’d have been fired. They all should’ve stood together and done that. Other than for Goodman, most of the cast would never have been heard of were it not for her.
How about “The White Shadow”?
White cracker in south side Chicago. Show lasts 5 minutes with cracker’s drive-by death.
Yep - need to reboot “Car 54, Where Are You?”
Beyond inane.
Another show I never watched.
