I guess they are rebooting The Fresh Prince. The article I read used one of the red flag buzzwords “reimagining”. Article finally said the show plans to address “race and class”. I mean what would a show be in current year if it didn’t lecture us about race for the 10000th time.
I’m sure it will win awards. The three easiest ways to win are to “address racism”, have a female led program that bravely attacks the patriarchy, or a show about immigration where the not so subtle message is anything less than open borders is evil.
I’ll be happily watching reruns of Little House on the Prairie and Sanford and Son.
I'm watching Night Court reruns. Dan Fielding is freaking hilarious, and I expect the reboot of the series will either neuter him or have the whole rest of the courtroom gang up on him as the token toxic male.
I love Night Court. I have zero hope for the reboot.
Reruns of Night Court aired in the evening after the new episode of TNG and I always got a kick out of seeing Brent Spiner on there.
The original series kind of already did that, but via getting his own comeuppance rather than through blatant struggle sessions. And you felt he kind of genuinely deserved it (most of the time, at least), and it was funny.
