Well.

That could go either way really, couldn't it.

Maybe the whole thing will be underwater and it'll be more like a live action Spongebob. Here's hoping.

I believe its going to be a bit more gritty realistic social commentary 😳

Well the trailer doesn't fill me with hope.

Plus who will be jazzy Jeff and will they be able to do the Peter Piper routine?

Now that's what I call a sticky wicket.

How do you re-do something that depended so much on the talents and charisma of its cast members? Obviously you go in a different direction rather than direct remake, but it's still gonna get panned unless it's really, really good.

Next up a Seinfeld reboot?

It's a tricky one, isn't it. On the one hand, successful older shows were often lightning in a bottle; on the other we're basically saying "there are no good actors any more."

Battlestar Galactica is probably a good example here. I remember when they first announced a reboot and the bottom half of the Internet melted. Recasting Dirk Benedict's iconic Starbuck as a woman? You've ruined my childhood, etc etc. As it turned out, it was really good. (OK, the ending was abject twaddle, but here we are.)

Fresh Prince though... I dunno, when you think about it the premise is pretty thin. Street kid goes to live with rich family and... uh, that's it. That's not a lot to hang your hat on for a reboot. As you say, it was basically a vehicle for Will Smith to be Will Smith.
