Quantum Leap Reboot (spoilers allowed)

They tried not long after with "The Greatest American Heroine." I think that you can still catch it on Tubi, if you want to see why it failed.

I thought the war on drugs killed that one.

I will see your Street Hawk and go all in with an entire A-Team.

Did the QL reboot air last night with the Monday Night Football game on? Pretty sure the game ended 10:15-10:30.

When this game is over, we need to have a Hart to Hart.

Holy $hit I was just about to say Hart to Hart, but Cagney and Lacey may mistake it for a domestic

The Scarecrow and Mrs. King was another favorite.

Maybe. But the thing shows up for streaming today, I think, so folks who were watching the game can get it easily.

I almost spit my drink out that was so funny. You win, I have no comeback on that one.

Thats what I was thinking too. Personally, I'd be surprised if it sees a season 2 let alone make it through the first. I think this is clearly a case of not every show needs a reboot. I could be wrong; hope I am so I'll give it a shot.

I think this is clearly a case of not every show needs a reboot.

On the contrary, I think that updating to current times and issues is a good thing. The original series did a good job, for its time, in opening up perspectives. That's a worthy pursuit.

My skepticism is that NBC has had a really crummy record with scifi shows for quite a while now. La Brea. Debris. Powerless. Heroes Reborn. Emerald City. Constantine. Believe. Awake. Do No Harm. Dracula. All cancelled after one season.

They've had Manifest run for three seasons, though I didn't like it much. They had The Good Place, but that's more because Michael Shur is awesome than any merit of NBC's.

One totally awesome show they had, Timeless, they went and cancelled, it got revived for a second season by, of all things, Sony pushing for it, and then cancelled again (but at least gave it a wrap-up TV movie, for which I was grateful).
