Was the SOPRANOS commercial during the Super Bowl any good? (I never cared for the acting ''skills'' of Robert Iler.)

Yes, actually. Not much acting involved. They basically re-did the show open (complete with the music) with Jamie-Lynn Sigler driving the SUV and going past all the places Tony would drive by. Then she parks, plugs in the charger for the SUV. Robert Iler walks up and they hug. Then it ends.

Gave me a serious nostalgia vibe, which means I may have to spend some time watching the series in the near future.

I love that it's based on a New Yorker comedy article from 1990, that's hilariously obscure. I don't think it qualifies as a reboot or remake however.

Looks like Alf and The Fairly Oddparents is coming back. I never watched the later but of course as a kid of the 80's I watched Alf. Even watched the cartoon. Maybe they will finally let him eat a cat.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Alf? Seriously? That's one of the most 80's things. What next, a Small Wonder reboot?

 

[Jayson1]

Even though a Small Wonder reboot hasn't been announced we might as well say yes they will make one. Their won't be one show untouched that isn't rebooted. Except maybe failed British sitcom "Heil Honey I'm Home."

I want to reboot the short-lived immortal cop series New Amsterdam and air it opposite the current medical drama New Amsterdam.

I may be wrong, but my understanding is no reboot of ALF has been announced. A new company bought the rights to ALF and has announced they are releasing the old material, and have new things planned, but they have not actually named any new projects.

Was mid 90's. Project ALF. It was a huge deal at the time (at least in my elementary school). And it sucked ass.

Too bad to hear that It sucked. But he was saved from the government?

I really don't remember the movie, it's been almost 30 years. The basic plot was something like the government was going to dissect him because they thought they'd learned all they could from him living and some military officer and lab worker helped him escape. You can probably google it pretty easily.

 

[Aragorn]

And Martin Sheen was in it.

Hey, look, someone put the whole thing on YouTube.

Are they both set in New York?

 

[The Wormhole]

Are they both set in New York?

Yes, though in the case of the medical drama, New Amsterdam is also the name of the hospital it's set at.

 

[Owain Taggart]

Well, if they ever decide to do a crossover, they could call it Medi-Cop: New Amsterdam

 

[Aragorn]

At the rate New Amsterdam is going with how they cure every disease and solve every problem, pretty soon everyone there will be able to live forever and the immortal cop will have more friends.
