    I thought they would just pick up where they left off. Pull a Simpsons where everyone stays the same age forever. I don’t really care for a new dynamic. Our current timeline sucks 😂 Plus that means cottons probably dead.

      Mild Spoiler

      Cotton died in the original run. There was a whole episode about it.

      Though I do hope Buck Strickland is still kicking lol. The man was a hot mess, but he had some hilarious moments.

    This is going to be awful. I hope I’m wrong, enjoyed the original run, but they’ve lost characters and times have changed.

    Gonna end up like Family Guy - just a walking corpse

    Edit: And now John Redcorn’s dead.

      You may be right, but at least it’s not a reboot, time has passed and the characters can build on the original series while still allowing changes.

    Hmm. The article is definitely PR, but if it turns out that these people are genuinely as excited as they sound, we might end up with something worth watching.

    I haven’t watched TV in a very long time. I would probably watch this, though. I loved that show.

    Never watched it. Always been curious. What’s the appeal?

      It very much tried to peel back the curtain on what the average not quite middle class southern family was like in an era where you couldn’t as easily talk to them from across the nation. Facebook wasn’t around yet, AIM and MySpace were the norm, and it’s generally accepted that while MANY were racist, it was based on ignorance and not hatred.

      It was a very different time, and I wholeheartedly believe it was a pivotal timr in which things could have gone the other way.

    They could also show us Beavis and Butthead as adults. I’d be interested to see the take on that.

    Edit: typo

      Beavis gets his hands on too much sugar, transforms into Cornholio then cracks open a box of powdered fentanyl Todd hid in their house, killing both him and Butthead.
