This is the case, most of the backlash is people mad that an old show is being revived instead of a new show being created in which case uh welcome to the last two decades of studio media production?

The last time they revived it, it was awful. I’m just baffled someone is giving it another shot after that.

I mean, John K basically stole credit for a show he only made about six or seven episodes of, and the time he tried to revive it was the infamously awful one (indicating he was extremely not the secret to its success). If it's all the non-John K people coming back this time (many of whom were directly victimized by him in one way or another), and he's nowhere near it, I can't get mad at that. It feels less like creative bankruptcy, and more like an attempt at righting a wrong by letting them take the show's legacy back from him.

I don't think they've announced any of the talent involved but it doesn't sound like they're bringing in any of the old guard from what we know. Bob Camp has been trying to get a revival going but he learned learned about this with the rest of us.

Big Mean Jerk posted:Genuinely surprised there hasn’t been a Rugrats: The Next Generation yet That already happened. It was called All Growed Up. Also nobody seems to know if Klasky-Csupo (the studio that did the series) is still alive. Their website is ancient, their address on file may or may not be owned by them anymore, and nothing has made a peep in about 5 years.

And the states that 'get it' will be totally LGBT run and will enter wild and wacky songs, while cowboy states will enter dreary country pop crap that takes itself too seriously.

There will be 40 pop country songs for sure. Hopefully they let a Miami based band control the Florida part otherwise you will get 41 pop country songs.

I don't really see a point of doing an American version of this since we already have a billion singing competition shows already. The by state gimmick doesn't really add that much since America doesn't exactly have a ton of regional music styles.

I'm watching The Good Fight and there's an episode where they find out Jeffrey Epstein preserved his penis before dying. Like, it's in a jar in liquid like those heads in Futurama. This show is so weird.

I could see doing it by city, seems like there's a lot more civic pride about your hometown than your home state. And there are plenty of US cities that have distinctive musical styles and scenes

Davros1 posted:Reminds me of this tweet This reminds me of a story I saw about a bunch of Americans in the UK on a school trip. They were getting ready to go back to London for the flight home, or something, and the tour guides told them to prepare for a "really long" bus ride, insisting that everyone use the bathroom before departing. Being Americans, who are used to day-long, interstate bus rides, they all laughed when they were finally told it was a 75-minute drive...
