I am so over these reboots that on the one hand, want to trade off the nostalgia for the original and then change everything anyway.

So those who liked the original will most likely be disappointed in the changes and it doesn't mean anything to newer viewers who have no connection.

I was obsessed with the original Party of Five, it used to be one of my  favorite primetime soaps.  In my mind, Neve Campbell is "the star of Party of Five" - I've never seen the Scream movies. So I watched the reboot with great attention. I kept comparing and contrasting each reboot sibling with the original.  Lacey Chabert's character in the original was a precocious child who played the violin.  Her counterpart in the reboot was also smart but she danced. Not quite the same.  Neve Campbell's teen character in the original was a moody student, and her teen counterpart in the reboot became politically active and tried to help other teens that had immigration issues.  Etc.   I knew all the secondary characters in the original, and kept waiting to see if they'd have counterparts in the reboot.

Some of that compare/contrast stuff was distracting to me at first, but ... eventually I realized that the reboot was a completely different show, and I came to embrace it for what it was, and let go of my comparisons.  I felt that the reboot existed as its own separate identity, and there was no need to be familiar with the original at all. 
Other than the ages of the five siblings and the restaurant, the reboot had very little in common with the original. The reboot was a good show by itself and I liked it, and was disappointed that it was cancelled.

I have a new storyline for the "diverse" 7th Heaven reboot!

The WASP family has a foster child called Gilberta. She's an AA kid whose mother is addicted to crack marijuana! The devil's seed! Either way, she's been integrated into this WASP family and shock/horror, Marijuana Mommy comes back! What will happen?

Well, I will tell you - first it seems like Marijuana Mommy has her [!@#$%^&*] together and she gets her kid back! The WASPs are sad. Then it turns out that Marijuana Mommy is still on the dope and selling tricks talking to strange men on the corner! Plus, foster child (Gilberta) talks about how much she loves the WASPs. The episode ends in tears with Gilberta back with the WASPs!

Also, Marijuana Mommy goes away, acknowledging how much better parents the WASPs are. The end.

Why haven't The Great American Family hired me yet? I can feel the audience will watch this and cry a lot of tears.

Let's be real - no one  is interested in a "diverse" reboot. It's a WASP show through and through. Just do it cheaply on a budget and put it on Great American Family.


you made me laugh.  They haven't found a network for this potential reboot but yeah.

GreatAmericanFamily/Pureflix is where producers go who feel that Hallmark is too diverse.

No one asked for this, just like no one asked for the Little House reboot.

Yeah but what will happen to Gilberta
