Don't forget the new Dragnet starting next month with Ed "Married with Children" O'Neil as Friday!

Word has it Friday's spine will light up whenever he says, "Just the facts Ma'am"

Oh, and don't forget Nicole Kidman starring as Samantha Stevens in the new "Bewitched" (God rest Elizabeth Montgomery's soul), but that's still not rock bottom.

Ready for this one?

There's talk about a "Three's Company" reunion! If I remember correctly, Jack a least got a live-in girlfriend, if not a wife, and opened the Bistro in "Three's a Crowd." Please, those of you in charge of Hollywood, leave it at that and don't torture us. Please!

NOOOOOOO!!!!

Nicole as Sammy Stevens? Wow she's going to be busy in the future. She's also suppose to play Leonardo DiCaprio's mom in Alexander the Great. (yup, Leo is the greek conquerer)

I've also heard something about a remake of Blake's 7 and a feature version of Starsky & Hutch with Ben Stiller and Owen Wilson. There's also been talk of a "re-imagined" Miami Vice.

There's the remake of the Bionic Woman where Jamie is now a newscaster. Um, why would the government want to spend millions of dollars rebuilding a newscaster? If the new Jamie is anything like Barbara Walters, she will be able to make the bad guy cry on camera before she kicks his arse in slow motion.

There's the 'new' Tarzan that takes place in New York -- and Jane's a cop. I wonder if Ron Moore had something to do with this one?

Still, as much as I love these two properties, I don't plan on writing a single letter or signing a single petition to stop the madness. Why? Simple, because there is a difference between love and passion.

I feel passionately about Battlestar Galactica and that is why I am here on this board. That is why I write letters and send e-mail's. That is why I proudly count myself as a member of the Fan Force. Networks don't understand this type of loyalty. That is why we are seeing this endless stream of half-baked remakes and re-imagined disasters.

Thank God for video. With this, I can watch the real Jamie Summers fight the bad guys in slow motion.

Thank God for books. With these, I can imagine the real Tarzan swinging in the jungle -- not hailing a cab in the Big Apple.

Hey dah66 years back a Six Million Dollar Man/Bionic Woman remake would have been a great idea. But in light of no originally in Hollyweird for the past couple of years. Anystinking remake that comes out of Hollywood is bound to sound bad, be bad, is on the cheap, has tons of badly done CGI, has actor who will sleepwalk through the snorefest, won't earn back it's budget let alone make any profit and will suck worse than a giant sized gobstopper candy cane stick!

Hey Hollywood A.K.A. Bizarroland why don't you remake Knightrider, The A-Team while your at it. Oh yeah you are planning that aren't you, gee whiz (Hah)

There's a sarcastic reply for you!

Kingjason,

At one point Chris Rock was going to play the new Six Million Dollar Man. Nothing against Chris Rock, but I'm glad that project fell through.

Hollywood is creatively bankrupt.

KJ · December 23rd, 2002, 02:48 PM
