I mean, I guess?
The original was almost 50 years ago, and while beloved, it had some mildly successful (though widely panned) sequels, as well as an awful series. (Full disclosure, the second is my favorite. The "Let them play" scene is an all-time heartwarming moment in movie history).
The Billy Bob Thornton remake got okay ratings, but barely broke even (which, in Hollywood, means it lost a fortune).
I just have so many questions...
Who is going to be the target audience for this one? Will men tune in for a drunken woman hitting and yelling at kids? Will women? Will they even go that route? Will they be able to draw in fans of the original, or do they even care? Will they be able to bring in new fans (Something Game Changers seems to have failed at)?
If the show ever gets made, as a huge fan of the original, I'll give it a couple episodes, but it just feels like every single road is leading towards this being a huge bust.
