After seeing that robot chick at CES I think it's time to revive Small Wonder.
The main cast of Night Court still alive but it would make no sense that they are still working Manhattan Night Court 30 years later. But if they could make sense of that, don't know why any of them wouldn't do it.
the seeds have already been planted for Perfect Strangers with "The Leftovers" and Jimmy Kimmel
There is absolutely original content but it's being ignored because entertainment, in general, is heading towards pacifying nostalgists. And the reason it's headed that direction is totally about dollars. You see so many remakes because the company who owns the intellectual property wants to make money off the old shows/film/magazines/comics etc AND hopefully make money on the new one at the same time.
'Murphy Brown' Returning to CBS With 13 Episodes
The timing is also right. They're trying to cash in on the 'feminism' wave. So why not heat up leftovers for the audience?
The sad thing is that feminists I know are furious over this for good reason. While Murphy Brown was a groundbreaking show, a lot has happened since then. Newer writers, diverse writers have taken ideas from then and taken them to the next level. Why are they not getting shows? No one is saying that Candice Bergen shouldn't have a different show in 2018 but redoing an old show keeps the intellectual/societal needle from moving forward, especially when it has to do with issues around feminism. It's the nonthreatening way of making entertainment and cashing in on feminism while actually being anti-feminist. And I totally agree.
Exactly. Yet they can put Star Treak Discovery on the CBS streaming service only instead of having it on network TV. shyt is ridiculous

@stomachlines , your thoughts on 1960s Candace Bergen please
Yeah as others have said, because she was seen as a feminist icon (Although if you go back and watch the first season, she was pretty much an a$$hole to the other women on the show so
. Show treated Corky like an airhead and I cant remember how much she progressed over the decade but I reject that 1980s white woman feminist trope of a$$hole to others means strong )
I'd rather see it rebooted for 2010s tough, who'd you cast

Just googled pics of her from back in the 70's, she was a good looking woman in her prime.
I was a kid when the OG Murphy Brown was coming on, I remember my mom watching the show but I'd have to revisit it to really get a better view of the show.
