paging @Donald_Petersen can I look forward to the true horror of the Olsen twins on screen?
The real horror is trying to afford one of those houses. Seriously, one of the least believable aspects of Foul Play was that Goldie Hawn could live there on a librarianās salary and thatās saying something. And that was in the '70ās!
Wow, the scoring makes a huge difference :-0 And I am somewhat horrified theyāve brought this back.
Also:
I know sitcom houses are bigger than real houses, but this seems a bit much. The interior set is like a Tardis on the inside compared to the exterior location shots.
I am not so sure about āthe power of musicā. For me, the real horor was seeing those doggie claws on the hardwood doors!
First of all, I had to peel myself off the floor. That musical treatment made my day.
And secondly, to answer your question: no.
Somewhat? Like in the novels of Sartre, the very existence of this show is the horror.
Iād rather program in APL than face the horror that is a rebooted Full House. A visitation by the Great Old Ones? A merest trifle on a par with Sunday tea at Aunt Gracieās by comparison.
The power of music indeed.
Add a little selective editingā¦
Sons and Daughters, Friends and Neighborsā¦ this show has been my waking nightmare working life for the past six months.
You. Are. Welcome.
Imagine if someone had graded the color of the teaser, too?
hoo-boy, thatād be even more creepy.
If itās on Netflix and not broadcast TV, does that mean that Bob Saget can work his regular blue routine this time around instead of that squeaky clean OCD character he played originally?
āYOU THINK THATāS āRUDE,ā MICHELLE?? YOU #$#$?! @#!$(% @#$* )%@%! !@#)!$ )(@% UP YOUR #$(**@&$ AND #$&&^(#%)(%*$#!ā
I prefer when they go in the opposite direction.
So, did this series deserve a reboot? Was it clever, witty, subversive? Critically acclaimed? For someone who has never seen the show, Why?
Iāve seen the show. It was none of those things.
I can only guess that 90ās nostalgia is the appeal for some. For me, it represents "Peak Laugh-Trackā.
Occasionally witty dialogue. Not very clever. Definitely not subversive. Another in a long line-up of paint-by-numbers 90ās sitcom. Even the best 90ās sitcom, Family Matters, doesnāt deserve a reboot. Those shows were okay by the mindless standards of that decade. This has all the hallmarks of a studio exec plumbing a marketing firm to focus group concepts to appeal to older mellenials with dysfunctional families longing for simpler times. The creators of this reboot should be the second against the wall when the revolution comes, right after whatever exec commissioned that Glade Christmas carol to which I was subjected last night when I forgot to skip the YouTube commercial before sitting down on the shitter. @Donald_Petersen will be spared. Iām sure heās done good work too.
We all have rent/mortgage to pay and sometimes we donāt get a choice on our personal employment hell.
Absolutely. Since he worked on it and that came up in this thread, I just wanted to be clear I wasnāt indicting him. Donāt want Happy Mutants getting hit by friendly snark.
Oh indeed. It isnāt like heās participating in cult recruitment or āobama is a kenyanā or other actively harmful things. Itās just a show thatā¦ just doesnāt really merit a reboot getting one.
Iām glad he has money enough to continue with the whole living and eating thing.
I prefer the Original Original Trailer for the new show:
