Ali Gator Posted October 22, 2023 Share Posted October 22, 2023 Nine figures to reboot his series - for just two seasons ? That's a lot of money being thrown at him - and 'reboots' don't always work like they are expected to ('Murphy Brown', "Will & Grace", 'Gilmore Girls', etc.). Personally, I think viewers want to see 'fresh' and 'creative' comedies - such as 'The Great' - rather than revisit old shows, most which have to be reworked due to 'cancel culture' (what was funny a decade ago may not make it pass the censors today).

CuriousByNature Posted October 25, 2023 Share Posted October 25, 2023 In the 90s I thought the cast and the show were really funny. But rewatching episodes in the 2020s, I find pretty much every character on that show incredibly annoying. I doubt the original would have done as well if it were made today.

I watched the show the whole time it aired, and liked it, but didn't love it (same thing is true for THE SOPRANOS) and have zero desire to ever re-watch it, or see new episodes. Even though I did enjoy the show, I found each of the characters annoying at some point, and it was rare that at least one of them didn't grate on my nerves over the course of a few episodes..

In re-runs, those earliest episodes remain painfully unfunny, and the series finale was ruthlessly panned when it shouldn't have been. For me, the show remains a social litmus test. On one side, you had Seinfeld lovers and on the other, Simpsons lovers. If you loved the latter, I likely don't like you! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was terrible; the only redeeming factor was lasting image it gave one of those 4 locked up for crimes against comedy in the finale, or rotating general annoyance during the run of the show.
