Not watching it.

Sounds like it might be interesting. I'll probably check it out.

KATHY IS A WINNER...GOOD CASTING.

i can't see you watching this.

Hell No!

Terrible idea. Doesn't sound INTERESTING whatsoever. And since when does Matlock work for a prestigious law firm fighting corruption from within? Just call it something else. I've been watching Matlock on Pluto and Andy Griffith is mostly what makes the show.

a very different direction.

reply

Yeah just call it like Mattie or something. I'm sure she can make a decent show. But this rebooting bullshit has just got to stop it's so sickening.

reply

Who even came up with the idea to let an actress of such caliber do this remake? And why did she agree?

reply

A lot of actors when they get up there in age move to television series for the steady work. Some of their stuff can be really good sometimes. At least that's how it used to be. Nowadays famous actors that aren't even all that old are turning to series work quite often I've noticed.

reply

I don't mean television work, but the fact that it's a remake of a show that, although very entertaining, was never considered highbrow. You'd expect Kathy Bates to be offered an original show based on her reputation.

Your comment makes me think of Arnold Schwarzenegger being in the series finale of 2 and a half men.
