"I wonder how they will deal with the domestic-abuse-catchphrase of "to the moon, Alice! to the moon!"
While I agree that this whole concept ranks pretty high up on the List of Bad Ideas, if the show were to actually come to fruition, I would assume (hope?) that they'd deal with it in the exact same way they did in the original shows: showing Ralph to be a toothless lion when he makes those empty threats, and showing Alice as a strong woman who doesn't back down from him, hitting back with a "try it and see what kind of frying pan you get to the head, next time you fall asleep" attitude.
I think that would still play just fine, even in today's PC climate.

the list of writers (and their other failed show credits) is what made me laugh.I'm sure the honeymooners was funny back in the original day. But comedy has evolved. I barely thought the black and white ones were funny when I watched them on WGRZ or WIVB Buffalo during Saturday afternoon or sunday morning filler time periods.I wonder how they will deal with the domestic-abuse-catchphrase of "to the moon, Alice! to the moon!"--On Fri, Dec 16, 2016 at 1:40 PM, Kevin M. <[email protected]> wrote:Meego was a bad idea. According To Jim was a bad idea. Casting Rosie O'Donnell as Betty Rubble in a live action Flintstones movie was a bad idea.This idea exceeds badness. At this point I can only conclude Hollywood is actively trying to usher in the Rapture.--Someday, somehow, Hollywood will get the message that this is a bad idea. That day, apparently, is not today.
