Never watched the original and not about to watch a body
being exhumed.
My question is why everyone thinks Honolulu is Hawaii?
I've been here 18 years and I think that Honolulu is about the most
un-Hawaiian place in our islands.  It is filled with tyrannical
Democrats that tax the heck out of everyone else to pay
for bad schools, a train very few will use, and pay for
their version of un-economical electrical power.
Full disclosure - I'm going off grid in 2019 using
my version,  my payback is 6 years.

I found some shows that I loved as a kid not so much anymore thanks to them being on Amazon Prime.  I guess I grew up.

Dinosaurs-boring now
Step by step-boring now
Full House-good, but not awesome like how I remember it. Kind of boring actually
Saved by the Bell-still awesome (except the college years, this one always sucked)
Family Matters-Loved it as a kid, afraid to watch because I might not like it anymore
Simpsons-Boring compared to Family Guy

For the reboots
Lethal Weapon-stopped watching about 5 episodes in.  Was a Debby Downer, always talking about his wife just as the show gets funny/action
5-0- Still prefer Jack Lord one.  Only watched to see if I know anyone in the background.  Stopped after the 2nd season
Roseanne-Good until they removed her.  Becky looked like a $2 hooker

Not sure Lethal Weapon counts as a reboot. It was not a TV show before.

I will be boycotting Magnum PI
they are filming a few houses away from me right now
initially it was only for 1 day, now it is for 2 more days, maybe more
they block off 3-4 blocks around the filming spot, and there is no parking in the neighborhood.  this is in kaimuki so parking is very scarce as it is, add in this BS and I gotta park 2-3 blocks away and theres 4 cars at my house that use street parking and I have to do the parking and walking myself
its a major PITA!!!   :grrr:

same goes for Hawaii 5-0. they do the same thing, only worse.
idk why, but they like to shoot in kaimuki and in my neighborhood

I will not be watching PI and his slow-arse Ferrari, and his wimpy mouse gun
I hope the show gets cancelled   >:D

maybe if I lived in a different area, I would feel differently.  my opinion is biased, of course

Sums up how I feel too...

Seems like all the "good" TV shows have been done, so now networks are going after "reboots" of the 1980s & 1990s:

Much like grunge and later "music" a lot of rehashed tunes from years ago that someone with creativity wrote.

Seems the current generation doing the writing has no imagination and must get by by copying what the masters of a long time ago created.

My Ex was buying CDs (before iPods) for our young daughter.  She kept getting her stuff she hatted -- all current pop music of the 90s.

I was smart enough to ask what she liked.  I got her CDs of Pink Floyd, Blondie, The Beatles, Queen and other 70s-80s era music -- all stuff I grew up on.

She still liked a few contemporary groups, but mostly the ones who "revived" oldies from those other decades in their own style, like UB40's "Can't help falling in Love", a classic Elvis hit.

I caught the last 15 minute that I missed previously.
Not impressed with the writing.
