It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week: Star Trek: The Next Generation, the 1987-1994 syndication science fiction show. Hey, if J.J. Abrams can do it with the old Trek, we can do it with the new. (If you have a suggestion for … more…
It’s Thursday, so it’s time to remake an 80s classic TV show or movie with an all-new cast. This week I’m stretching the theme a bit to include the classic 1939 movie The Wizard of Oz, which exerted a profound effect on the mindset of Generation X via its constant airings on TV in the … more…
