The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

[Rowdy Roddy McDowall]

Hell yeah, I loved The Critic!

I loved their take on Siskel and Ebert, especially their brutal airplane fight.

After years of no interest from Sony, Jon Lovitz says Al Jean is working on a revival of "the Critic".

If "The Simpsons" can go on forever like a flying stuffed pig, if "Futurama" can come back from cancellation more times than Sweet Zombie Jesus, if "King of the Hill" get a new season after a decade of being over, if "Samurai Jack" came come long after it's cancellation to get one final concluding season, and "Beavis and Butthead" can get new episodes, SURELY, in an time where Hollywood is RIFE with opportunity to make fun of and online film critics, THIS show can come back.

While I don't want to talk ill of The Critic, I also think we should be honest enough to point out that it never had even close to a fraction of the cultural impact as those other shows you mentioned.

Amazon is turning the video game Life is Strange into a TV series.

I don't disagree, but 'member berries, and a show that never really had the same chance/chances. The webisodes? A joke.
