39. I guess I've got mixed feelings

Apr 2018

1. As a teen I was a fan and fairly regular watcher of the original show... You know, the one that conservatives hated more than any sitcom in history until Will and Grace came along...

2. No matter how much I love a show, I *HATE* reboots because they're lazy and derivative

3. So I haven't watched nor do I plan to

4. I find it impossible to fully hate anything that John Goodman is in so maybe he can succeed while the show fails?
