I meant Matthew Perry not Matt LeBlanc. That was my mistake but I feel that would be a wonderful remake with those cast members. Why didn't you agree?

I hate to disagree, because everyone is entitled to like whom they wish. HOWEVER, I don't find any of your choices talented, let alone funny. 15 minuted of fame, indeed, let alone a lifetime of comedy genius. Yes, we had dreck in the decades past, but we *did* have our share of the gold.

I see a much smaller level of gold these days. Many, MANY of today's so-called *stars* are gone so fast you can't recall their faces. Our adoration limits have shrunken so quickly, and whose fault is that? Theirs or ours?

Get the money and run, before they find out you've swanned them.

Ben Stiller? Still swinging on his parents coat-tails. Has no one noticed he uses his parents whenever he's at a loss for professionals who can throw a line with great comic timing?

Maybe it's because I'm an oldfarte who can remember the good times. More likely, I have high standards. I never watched "Seinfield" or "Friends" - or the rest of their kind - because I found nothing humorous about them. True humor is found in the everyday behavior of everyday people, not in denigrating them or making fun of them to an embarrassing level for the viewer.

Oh, where are the Gracie Allens of today? She was a gem of screwball thinking. You could actually hear her mental gears clashing in her brain pan. I adored her dizziness.

It's kind of silly when people refuse to watch something simply because it is not the "old thing" they are used to watching. I like the old shows too and really don't go looking for anything new, but i don't avoid something simply because it is new.

If you had taken a chance you may have discovered that "Seinfeld" certainly was worth a watch.

We are only getting older. And to create an artificial line in the sand where everything before was good and everything after is bad is just a shortcut to irrelevance.

puleese! Kirsten Dunst is god awful butt ugly.

Kirsten Dunst can't cut it as a "lovable eccentric" type. (Anyone wanna sit through ELIZABETHTOWN again?) Zooey Deschanel might be able to pull it off.

Ugh, no! No current actresses can touch Judy Holliday's performances, especially Kirsten Dunst.

If they ever did try to remake it, which would be an AWFUL idea, then it would have to be a period piece. However, they would have to build a huge set to mimic New York since New York has changed so much.

I think it would be kind of interesting if they did a remake that was some sort of modern equivalent. For example maybe a girl becomes extremely famous when she spends her whole life savings (which would have to be HUGE) to plaster her name on: 1. TV commercials, 2. some billboards at the superbowl, or 3. Facebook ads. And whatever she does, she manages to usurp the advertisement time of some large company and she gets involved with the executive.

But I think there are just some movies that CANNOT be remade.

Kirstin Durst couldnt act her way out of a paper bag... with both ends cut open!

As much as I hate remakes – at least the bad ones, which most of them seem to be – this story feels very contemporary and seemed to predict "celebrity" sensations like Angelyne and "reality" television. But as for a remake starring whoever: nah.
