This won't work. The other remaining cast members are talented in their own right, but Carter being gone makes it's impossible to duplicate the interactions that made the show funny. Julia responding to Suzanne saying something ridiculous was a highlight itself. Even Taylor being gone makes it not workable because of Anthony and Suzanne's interactions being so funny.

Welp.  It's in the universe.  It's only a matter of time before this too unleashed upon the world.

 

Thanks a lot, Mark-Paul.

But you know the writing and acting would be just as atrocious as it had been before (IMO).

 

ICAM.  I'd be happier to see Linda Bloodworth-Thomason create a new series about a lot of the issues that are challenging this country today.  Even if you didn't always agree with her politically, IMO, you certainly couldn't deny how forcefully she could present her opinions through her characters.

Which would mean that -- if it were true -- Annie, Delta, and Jean would be reprising their roles -- again, if it were true (and, of course, if they were contacted) -- even though Dixie, Meshach, Alice Ghostley and Jan Hooks have all passed away.

 

Unless I still don't understand the difference between "reboot" and "revival."

 

BUT...yeah...the original series' cast would not work w/o Dixie, for sure.  Linda Bloodworth-Thomason would be better off casting new actors to fill those roles, or creating brand new characters to work under the DW banner.

 

I will say this much: we are long overdue for another DW/"Golden Girls"-type series that's heavily female-centric; and we are REALLY long overdue for another series from Bloodworth-Thomason that lets her rip on the current state of affairs.  If Murphy Brown can return, so can LBH's p.o.v.
