Members te. Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 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 Please register in order to view this content What's next? Too bad Charlie's Angels was already rebooted (and failed) for ABC. Another generation of Love Boat? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 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.

Members te. Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 Spelling Television was one of the production companies behind Twin Peaks. That's why they (Lynch & Frost) brought it to Showtime - CBS Television owns Spelling's library. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Vee Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 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.

Members dragonflies Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 Haaa lol. Never was a Charmed fan, but it doesn't make it less pointless Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members marceline Posted January 5, 2017 Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted January 5, 2017 Author Members Share Posted January 5, 2017 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?

Members cassadine1991 Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 they should just adapt the graphic novels, there is plenty of material for them to do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MrPrezident Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 The first 4 seasons of the original were somewhat good IMO. The last half tho... Oh my lord, talk about embarrassing! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members KMan101 Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 Meh people take the time settings a bit too seriously. I personally find Goldbergs and Fresh off the Boat hilarious. Their comedy isn't for everyone though. I don't see any need for a Charmed reboot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DaytimeFan Posted January 6, 2017 Members Share Posted January 6, 2017 I feel like a show needs to be dead for 20 years before a reboot can occur. This is akin to a reboot of Titans... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
