Danny's acting again - loved him in the Lifetime Christmas movie he was just in - and he hinted that he might be returning so I'm hopeful he and Judith will be back, even if it's just recurring.
Feeling good about Tony/Angela because it'd be weird for him to live in the house otherwise since it's hers.

Correct me if I'm mistaken, but didn't Tony and Angela get married? If so, not having Judith Light would be a bit of a hole unless they kill off the character.

Michael said he was presented an offer for a reboot recently but the script seemed a little shaky...
chi2ny56 t1_iy9y44m wrote
Not sure how true this is, but I heard that they originally wanted to end Family Ties with the whole family dying in a plane crash so there could be no reunion or reboot. I don't remember where I read this, but it stuck with me.

Abed was wrong and the teacher was right. The title of the show wasn't meant to be literal but Abed couldn't see that. The title was meant to mean boss as in whose in charge and not just who writes the checks. Angela was far from the "Boss" in her life. Tony and Angela were the true bosses of her life. I've watched the show all the way through and she was manipulated by Mona and led on was constantly waiting for Tony to make the first move.

With the budget I imagine this would have they’d probably rather just dig her up and throw a big hat on her.

Somebody is to blame for this. Somebody rebooted and were moderately successful and now others are getting this newfound confidence (like the Frasier reboot that's also coming).
Was it The Connors?

I wouldn’t put it past a network to reboot it as “The Huxtables” with Malcolm-Jamal Warner. They could bring the major characters back with the exception of Bill, give Theo a family, and establish that Cliff died from an untimely overdose of Rohypinol years prior.

Family Ties where Alex Keaton is a disaffected Republican who switched parties after W was handed the election and now he runs the local Democratic party chapter
why do I remember the character's name? I haven't seen the show in like 15 years when I watched it in reruns
don't remember much about it except "hey this show with Michael J Fox is good"

My old college roommate used to claim that Who’s The Boss? holds the record for most episodes of a sitcom without ever generating a single laugh.
While I disagree there was never one laugh, I agreed with his sentiment.

They could do it as a black dramedy. Call it The Huxtables and work Bill Cosby's real life issues into the show. Dr. Cliff Huxtable is finally brought to justice for all the sex crimes that he committed on his patients over the years and the rest of the Huxtables have to put the pieces of their family together.

Enough with the reboots of Tv shows that had their time and in most cases ended because the quality went downhill in later seasons and people stopped watching.

I don't think they should do a reboot, but it is such a shame that Cosby's crimes have made that show so uncomfortable to watch. It was actually a great show
Kalse1229 t1_iybjwy8 wrote
That might actually be pretty interesting. The idea of the free-spirited hippie parents and the conservative son was one thing in the Reagan administration of the 80s, but it'd be interesting to see how the parents and Alex (as well as the other siblings) respond to modern-day conservatism, specifically the Trump administration. One of the few shows where I think that kind of angle actually makes sense.

I had an idea for what at least is a conceptual reboot of Cop Rock in the sense of musical police procedural, it's just since musical shows have now been able to be taken seriously mine would be less ridiculous, story-tone more like Castle and songs feeling more like the non-covers from Smash
Muppetude t1_iybofzc wrote
No, because we never figured out who IS the boss.
Is it Angela because she agreed to hire Tony, pay his salary, board him and his daughter, had the power to fire and evict him at any point … you know what, never mind. Angela’s very clearly the boss. Question answered. Now let’s move on to Growing Pains.

You have to take the time into context here. In the 80s the idea of a woman being a boss and a man being under her, especially in a domestic job, was unusual.
slymm t1_iycxwbw wrote
I mean, nobody even airs/streams the original now. No way they'd make a reboot.
(Though I was on vacation this summer in the middle of nowhere and some local affiliate was airing it)

I'm the same age as Harmon and I know exactly how the dynamic was. With relatives in the south and seeing the men outside drinking and the women in the kitchen. The fact is still that the title of the show was supposed not supposed to be literal.
haljordan8976 t1_iyew1nf wrote
Was Kevin James really the "King of Queens" , did "Everybody" really love Raymond?, On "Just Shoot Me" did they go around killing people? TV titles are not literal in their meaning. Abed couldn't see past the title of boss literally meaning the one who writes the checks. I dare anyone to actually watch all of Whose the Boss and come to the conclusion that Angela was other than the fact she wrote his paycheck. To paraphrase Rick "Your downvotes mean nothing to me - I've seen what makes you cheer."
haljordan8976 t1_iyewpc5 wrote
Abed was wrong plenty of times. Wrong about chicken fingers, wrong about ruining Hickey's work, wrong about putting trackers in the study group, wrong about Luka, wrong in the email he wrote about Troy in Pillows and Blankets. Watch Who's the Boss and then come back to make a case. I've seen every episode of both shows multiple times, how about you?
theyusedthelamppost t1_iyeww03 wrote
instead of rebooting one series at a time, why not just combine the salvageable pieces from each series and turn them into crossovers. Whichever actors are still in good shape can reprise their roles and reveal that they now know each other. This way they can pull in wider audiences (fans of each show). Also, this means we will take less time for each show to have its reboot so we can get past this era.
