With this, the potential Dynasty reboot, the upcoming Twin Peaks reboot on Showtime and their previous reboots of Beverly Hills, 90210 and Melrose Place, CBS studios is really digging deep into the Aaron Spelling vaults

What's next? Too bad Charlie's Angels was already rebooted (and failed) for ABC. Another generation of Love Boat?

It can't possibly be worse than the original show.

 

Also: Twin Peaks is not a reboot, CBS did not conceive it (it was brought to Showtime by the original creators David Lynch and Mark Frost) and it had nothing to do with Aaron Spelling.

It's true that Spelling Productions' name is officially linked to it, yes, but Aaron Spelling and his people never had a thing to do with the show. In fact, he hated it. Lynch and Frost simply sold distribution rights to Spelling.

 

Lynch and co. also had the opportunity to go outside Showtime/CBS with the new show, but chose Showtime.

Why are they setting it in 1976? Folks need to stay away from period shows unless they have the money and will to make it authentic. One of the reasons I can't watch Fresh Off The Boat is because they do such a lousy job of reflecting the time period it's set in.

This is probably one of the main reasons, if not the main, that I'm hesitant about this. I think the actual concept of the show very easily lends itself to a reboot, if they get the casting of the Charmed Ones right, since TV & movies are very into sci-fi and fantasy currently. But why 1976? It's almost certain they won't get it right. Also, why not just pick up with the kids, something like Chris vs Wyatt or whatever, and have the ladies guest star?

Isn't that when the mother (Finola Hughes) was originally from? I don't remember. 

 

I agree about this issue. I don't think The Goldbergs is very funny, but even if I did, the horrible handling of history and trends would make me tune out.

      Poor Philip. I appreciate how seriously his and Xander’s scenes were taken though. It felt like real drama and not like a big joke. You could actually feel Xander’s pain and anger. It adds another dynamic to the Kiriakis family storylines and I’m looking forward to the effects that this is going to have across the canvas. I can see them weaving Kate and Roman into this storyline as well. And it would be really nice if this somehow helped cause conflict for Stephanie/Alex too, especially because of what Alex did today. With any luck, Stephanie will be furious about it.  And I’m glad that Sarah has Maggie to confide in about her secret. I also liked seeing Steve and Shawn (and their matching jackets

      ) continue to be on the case. Kevin, revealing everything to them is another interesting turn in this storyline. Plus, it seems the writing has improved for Shawn as well.

      TBF, I don't think we've seen her interact enough with the "have-nots" to know if she is or isn't. It's possible, but I don't think you can say that from her interactions with Eva and Silkpress.

      You're right - though I did confuse his name with an actual actor who was on Dynasty.

      "Might" is not "is". And I was talking about the specific case about her attitude to Eva.

      But she can still be a priveliged elitist. She might have the same attitude to anyone from 'the wrong side of the tracks' whether they had an agenda or not. Nicole seems to be an outlier in her family.Her parents, kids and sister seem to think themselves above reproach.

      Damian's clothes have definitely been a specific look -kinda reads 70's pimp to me . I guess it's a trend?? but it seems more suited to Holden. JR is 51  and I guess Damian is supposed to be a little younger but it looks a little odd on him in my book. But at least they're trying. The men's clothing has been bland/generic for years-either suits or basic casual stuff interchangeable  b/w them.
