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.
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.
