I was just talking with someone about an updated HOTC, and lo and behold:

Unless this has Robin Givens or Howard Hesseman I'm not that interested.

Bill Lawrence and his shows have always screamed "toxic white masculinity" to me, so...nope.  I'm not interested either.

[Gray Bunny]

 

Ditto! 

 

I used to love watching this show in reruns as a kid. Of course, like so many late 80's sitcoms, what was considered good then doesn't hold up well nowadays, but I liked that cast of characters. My favorites were when they put on plays (Grease, Lil Shop of Horrors, Hair)

Got an HBO Max series order:

Head of the class was a great show..and actually diverse in terms of casting and personalities.

 

Why remake it?  Unless one of the original characters come back as a teacher...I'm also not interested.

Robin Givens will return as Darlene for the reboot:

A smart get.

 

Now I'm interested.

I completely forgot Isabella Gomez was the teacher in the reboot. I'll be checking this out. 

 

The original was a bit underrated. 

[Faulkner]

The trailer. The comedy is predictably womp-womp, but the actors playing the students actually look like teenagers:

It's lovely to see Isabella Gomez again. I have no relationship with the old show but I suppose I'll look at the new one once.

[victoria foxton]

It's just as bland and cutesy pie as the original. Without the 80's/early 90's feels. I'll will most definitely pass. I find Isabella Gomez annoying.

[Faulkner]

Already canceled.

[Soapsuds]

I didn't know it was on. I never saw it.

Maybe that's the problem... not enough promotion so people know it's on.

[amybrickwallace]

Probably just as well.

[Khan]

Agree.
