Norman Lear's Classic TV shows being rebooted...

Oh, it's a SERIES!! Well, that leaves me out.

Might try to catch an episode or two and see if I like it. Normally though, IFC doesn't have a lot that interests me. When they do, it's really awesome though!

I don't watch a lot of TV these days.
But I do prefer to Binge watching Episodes of Comedies & Dramas that interest me.

Simply because I dislike having to wait a week for the next episode.
My memory of what happened last time fades after awhile

I'm just now watching the Xfiles.
When it was new series I avoided it.
Bad part it's on a Local station. and they apparently avoid showing certain episodes
which frustrates me anyway and it's only on 2 to 3 times a week

Back when we watched a series (like Wagon Train) in episodes, we'd forget them. Now we have the complete series, have watched it one time all the way through, and now seem to remember them!

Guess there's something to be said for selective memory.

Bea Arthur made Maude. You simply can not recreate that character with another actress. Nor could you recreate I Love Lucy, because Lucy was one of a kind.

I read where The Honeymooners are under consideration to do a remake. Leave it alone ! Zero imagination.

Honeymooners was great, Jackie Gleason was great and Art Carney was funny as hell in it too. I still watch it even now, on every Sunday night on MeTV.
