There are several reasons why the old shows were cancelled.
One is that some of the cast were tired of the same old show and better offers were out
there. Remakes of any kind are
a disaster as the cast in the
original was what made the shows so popular and no new cast has ever been as good.
No more remakes please of any
kind! There are a lot of first

the most Clout. There are a lot
of good original writers out there just brimming over with ideas. Give them a chance to show their stuff!
