Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: No no no no no no no no no no

I agree with Steve here, and as he pointed out earlier, the original series was built upon what Gleason could do. In theater, plays are rarely written for only one individual to play a role. Current accusations not withstanding, "The Cosby Show" remade without Bill Cosby would be stupid. Same would

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: No no no no no no no no no no

To me, what it represents is a lack of originality and a fear of risk-taking. This is why broadcast TV is losing viewers. Or part of the reason. No one is going to get fired with a reboot of a well-respected series. This has failure etched on it from the start. I hope I'm wrong. But I don't watch a

I will never understand people getting upsets over reboots. Granted, "The Honeymooners" is a near-perfect series, but if the new version works, we get a good new TV series. If it doesn't, it'll vanish. If it weren't for doing new versions of things, my business of the theatre would basically no

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: No no no no no no no no no no

The Honeymooners was essentially a two-act play in real time, done live, usually with only one cardboard set. It was done at a time when audiences laughed at funny things, whereas now studio audiences are conditioned to clap and cheer. It was 90% dialogue. And Gleason very famously said that, no ma

The original show was a showcase for Jackie Gleason's talents. Plus some help from Art Carney. Who could be showcased like that today? A younger Jim Carrey. Bernie Mac, but he's dead. There's probably a dozen Broadway stars but they have no name recognition. ⁣Not sent from an iPhone.​ On Dec 1
