Just because you have a classic comedy doesn't mean you should turn it into a series. Hopefully it gets thrown in the bushes like COming to America


Yeah but here's the difference: That was a bad show. this may turn out to be a good show just because of the talent behind the camera and no, not brett ratner. Bill Lawrence knows what he's doing when it comes to comedy and also how to turn something into good tv on a weekly basis. The concept of Rush Hour lends itself to an episodic show: two mismatched cops solving crimes in LA. Plus we already talked about the litany of shows created from movies. Some turned out to be good some turned out to be bad. This one at least has talent on board already but it may not even make it to series

Whose gonna be replacing Jackie though? Not like there's a plethora of Asian actors to choose from?

Bobbi Lee?:mjcry:

:mjcry: I would stab myself in the face if that happened, he might be the worst Asian actor of all time.

i'm now sick of all these tv shows adapted from old 80s and 90s flicks.. give us something fresh.

TV was looking groundbreaking for a while now its starting to sound hollywood levels of redundant

RUSH HOUR TV ADAPTATION HEADS TO CBS

Do you understand the adaptation that is coming out of my mouth?

2 OCT 2014 BY MATT FOWLER

A few days back, we reported that a TV show based on the Rush Hour movie franchise, which starred Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, was in currently development at Warner Bros. Television.

Now EW.com is reporting the series has found a home at CBS - who has given the project a pilot production commitment. The Rush Hour series hails from Cougar Town co-creator Bill Lawrence and Cougar Town producer/writer Blake McCormick.

Chris Tucker and Jackie Chain in Rush Hour 3.

No surprise, the series will follow the exploits of a "stoic, by-the-book Hong Kong police officer" who is assigned to a case in Los Angeles and is paired with "a cocky African-American LAPD officer who has no interest in a partner."

Lawrence and McCormick will write and executive-produce the action comedy along with original director Brett Ratner, Arthur Sarkissian and Jeff Ingold.
