The originals were so good I can’t see how this would be a good thing especially given that the themes will be neutered by our current sensitivities and constant level of outrage. 

I can see ham fisted social message at the expense of funny. That’s what made the originals so special. They were progressive but at the same time very funny. We’ll see. Maybe they’ll be good. I have to admit that I generally have a bias against reboots of classics because it strikes me as lazy. I could be wrong.

It's being done by Lear and Jimmy Kimmel, thus the ABC connection.  Will Ferrell, Adam McKay, Justin Theroux also exec. producing.
