Doing a Matlock reboot


With her as Matlock. I’d rather see them bring back Harry’s Law instead of this gender shifting nonsense. That show was pretty good.

That's silly. The entire appeal of Matlock was Andy Griffith being back on tv for the old people. This is just gonna be anoher sassy female lawyer show.

I thought Murder she Wrote was a gender swapped version of Matlock.

Murder came out before Matlock.

Ok then Andy Griffith started this whole gender swapping crap, maybe it will finally end when the original wrong has been righted.

Dang that Andy! 😄

Pretty different shows, though they both played to the same crowd. Jessica was a novelist-turned-amateur-private-investigator, not an attorney.

They are both series about people solving murders. They have things in common that are typical for the genre, but beyond that, not that similar.
