      No, it actually works VERY OFTEN. See: The financial success of the always garbage live action disney remakes.

        And I’d trust the guy who created Ted Lasso and Shrinking to do what it takes to make the worth watching.

        And Scrubs. The original show itself. He created it. He’s not some rando taking over.

        But honestly, Bill Lawrence has single-handedly built up the comedydrama side of Apple TV+. Ted Lasso, Shrinking, Bad Monkey… All great shows. And I don’t even care about football normally.

        I’ll take this one with a grain of salt instead of the usual salt mountain. It’s still a reboot. But it looks like they’re also getting at least some of the other cast members back too. Mostly I’m hoping for Cox and Kelso. Carla and Janitor are apparently semi-confirmed? And I think Jordan is more or less confirmed considering the actress is literally married to Bill Lawrence and actively takes part in his projects.

          Well now you’ve also heard: I thought it an unapologetically heartfelt show, and I really enjoyed it despite expecting saccharine bullshit. It didn’t hold the quality all three seasons, but that’s not because it’s bad, but rather because the first season (and even the second,) is so good. I enjoyed it completely. But hey, it’s not for everyone.

      Sometimes the cash in works, Top Gun for example, and that is why they keep trying, ignoring all the times it doesn’t work.

      it never works on you and me maybe, but it seems like the normies eat that shit up

      It makes me feel like I’m better than them. which I’m aware seems to be a character flaw, but not one I care about, I guess! enjoy your shitty fifth superhero movie reboot or whatever
