You think they will use 'Thank You For Being A Friend?'

Ummm, am I missing something here? That article doesn't say this is a remake or reboot, just that it's "like" The Golden Girls because it's going to star 4 older women. I'm kind of glad about this, I have serious reboot fatigue.
Cyndi Lauper is an interesting casting choice. Might be one to watch out for.
LAUPER WAS EXCELLENT DURING HER SHORT STINT ON MAD ABOUT YOU.
shareI heard that but I never saw her in Mad About You, was never a fan of that show.
Come to think of it I think I've only ever seen Lauper act in that movie Vibes with Jeff Goldblum. Awful film, but from what I remember she was fine.
But man, can she sing!
โGirls Just Want To Have Funโ

She definitely had a voice, but I would classify her as a โOne Hit Wonderโ. She was a quirky gal!
Oh buddy you're a tough critic! I think she had a few more hits than that. True Colors, Time After Time, All Through The Night, I Drove All Night, Money Changes Everything.... the friggin Goonies theme for God's sake!!
Admittedly her popularity declined in the 90s but she's consistently released music, and a lot of it great, since then.
She's had great success in theatre too recently. She's the first solo woman to win the Tony award Best Score, for Kinky Boots.
Yeah, you could say I'm a fan.
Youโre right. After I wrote that I went back and checked. Iโll give you True Colors & Time After Time. I honestly donโt remember the others. I didnโt watch the Goonies. Truth is she is/was not of my era. And yes, I can tell you are a fan....nothing wrong with that. But, I canโt get Girls Just....out of my head!
sharePlease say it isnโt so! Why do they do this? You cannot better a classic. Are the producers so devoid of ideas and scriptwriters they have to dig into classic archives? ๐ก
shareIt's ok, it's not a remake :)
shareThanks for the update, but I wish it wasnโt even mentioned โ*like* Golden Girls.โ
shareAh I don't know, I think it's about time there was a popular sitcom starring older women again. I suppose you have Grace and Frankie, but I'd be willing to give a Golden Girls-like show a go. It's a hard dynamic to recapture though, those four ladies had such amazing chemistry, one of the tightest comedic ensembles in TV history. Hard act to follow.
shareWe watch them every night, followed by Frasier, over and over. They are on when we fall asleep. We know the scripts, but we still enjoy and laugh over them. We actually miss them when they go on hiatus during the holidays. The two shows are probably being watched by a third generation so they are new to some.
shareLong may they live on!
shareYes!! What is strange I actually felt like I lost a friend when Rue McClanahan (Blanche) died. She was my favorite.
shareI understand that. I used to have a pretty ambivalent attitude towards celebrities dying until David Bowie passed away and I felt genuinely anguished, like I lost a true friend who understood and represented me through his music, even though we've never met. It was a weird feeling.
I liked Blanche too, but I'm a bit more predictable, Rose was always my favourite. "Back in Saint Olaf..." lol
Guaranteed two of them aren't going to be white to avoid backlash. Having one minority will come off as token, two of them I she perfect amount to avoid it.
