The BSG remake was an attempt to make something better out of something, well, 
crappy.  It managed to work for a while.

Original Rockford is a quality program, so the proper concern is screwing up 
something that is pretty good to begin with.

I suppose Carrell could do it, but it would be a shift from his past work, a 
different kind of comedy chops.  There's an element of weariness to the 
character that all the other folks named have in abundance.

Well, that =was= their intent with Battlestar Galactica... {ducks}

Carell, I'd guess, could be looking for someone with recognized comedy
chops.
