Rebooting shows is like rewriting history. You do not rewrite history

[legalboxers]

Im sure we had one of these in our houses..

Growing up.. When you heard this....

You knew you were in for a treat...

But now...

'All in the Family' and 'The Jeffersons' are returning to TV for a one-night reboot

"All in the Family" and its spinoff series "The Jeffersons" were two of the boldest and most beloved sitcoms of the 1970s and early '80s. In fact, both shows were so groundbreaking that many pop culture spectators and industry insiders have long claimed they'd never even make it on network TV these days.

HELL to the NO...

You can not rewrite history.. or remake perfection.

This may fly in person...but not on television..

This also won't happen "on the job" either..

I really hate this crap. Those shows were solidly tied to the era, and would never work today.

It's not even nostalgia, it's just laziness. Come up with something NEW, that deals with TODAY'S issues. No more reboots!

Thank you for sharing your MyTake with us, very well written and
i have to agree it's hard to rewrite history just never the same.

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

Thank You For MHO :)

It’s not the same as the original 😒😒

Rebooting is just laziness.

[bolverk]

Rebooting successful shows rarely works, as those shows are tied to a specific time/place and the themes of those times/places will not transfer to the here and now. Also it is laziness on the part of the TV companies who are too afraid to try to do something new just in-case they offend one of the 'Vocal Minorities'.
For instance if they redid 'Til Death Do Us Part' (Archie Bunker in the States) word for word and shot for shot today the ' Vocal Minorities' would be all over the TV company claiming discrimination left right and centre.

Archie Bunker (and Alfred Tetzlaff, in Germany) are reboots of Alf Garnett, from Till Death Us Do Part.

I always like them trying to re-jig a UK show to other audiences, especially when they realty cock it up.

Basically we have already pretty much though of all the original ideas at this point and we are just rehashing old ideas anyway.

[LogicBomber]

Truth is History is rewritten all the time. Political powers change what we are told constantly.

But I digress, I agree with your stance that media should leave our favorite things alone and stop ruining them.

[pizzalovershouse]

depends on if can be, done as good or better an if they did like they did with Dallas it started the crave, to reboot shows with original cast like girl meets world fuller house it showed it's possible to make it work oh an will an grace

[pervertedjester]

Crappy as it sounds at least the fallout from airing a modern version of "All in the Family" should be entertaining.

[WhoDatGuy]

What annoys me is there's so many great books that could be made into films/series.
But every 20 years they just rehash old shit

[madgoat]

People do rewrite history but perhaps they shouldn't

[JustWorthlessMe]

Red state schools disagree

[legalboxers]

Red States think that Trump's forfathers was on that boat with Washington.

[zagor]

No, and Tom Selleck is still Magnum PI!

[Secretgardenblood]

Good take

Nah...
