Does anyone else find it annoying that TV shows you grew up with (older IW members) are being remade as comedies? I haven't seen Starsky and Hutch, but was disappointed to see that it is a spoof. Sure the original show wasn't exactly high drama, but I find it disrespectful. When I heard that Jim Carey would be doing The Six Million Dollar Man, I groaned, thinking it would suck, but hoping that they might do an okay job. He has done some more serious roles, after all. But in a recent interview, he admitted that it will be a spoof and made a comment about how it can't be serious with a name like Six Million, as if that is not enough money (which it wouldn't be in today's world, to make a cyborg...) Still, I now have visions of Steve Austin rusting, or malfunctioning to "comedic effect".
I wonder if in the next couple of years we'll see ER: the comedy...
