Liberace as Lt. Chapman. Should go over well in West Hollywood.

Rip Taylor as Jims dad Rocky. The answering machine messages Jim would now get.

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

That would be the time for Jim to toss the machine off the pier.

reply

[–] aManAndHisThoughts 8 years ago

Plus all the confetti all over the floor of his trailer every time Rocky came over there.

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm not that familiar with Rip Taylor. I only saw him on that Cheech and Chong movie, but I got the gist of his sexual preference from The Simpsons.

Beth Davenport could be played by Rosie O'Donnell, Ellen DeGeneres or better yet,Raven Symone. I'll let you pick one.

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I don't know Symone.
Considering it seems the idea is to come up with casting that would result in no one watching, I'd go with Rosie.

Then why not Matt Bomer or Wentworth Miller as Jim?

Annoying the world since 1960!

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Never heard of those people.

Robbie Rist as Richie Brockelman would have united the "Me Generation" like no event since the Stones at Altamont.

I'm with Fletcher, I never heard of these guys. Then I looked them up. I still never heard of these guys. I can't even give you a, "Oh, that guy!".

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Don't recognize them. Maybe a good thing?

I think Cousin Oliver did some detective work on the Brady Bunch with that tard Bobby they investigated Sam the butcher for being a spy. Sam sued them for false arrest. Oliver might've ended up jinxing the Files and it getting cancelled after six episodes.

reply

[–] pacwarbuff 8 years ago

Cousin Oliver and Bobby's sleuthing days ended abruptly after they received a richly-deserved Mannix-Rockford-style beating, courtesy of some three-piece-suit-wearing thugs.

As for these actors of recent decades, I don't know who any of them are, and I won't be watching any Rockford remakes featuring them, either.

Oh, and today happens to be Charles Nelson Reilly AND Rip Taylor's birthday.

Since all the main characters are going to be played by recurring guests of the 70s Mike Douglas and Merv Griffin talk shows, who is Mason Reese going to play?

Bomer and Miller would be good in 10-15 years but are too young now. Maybe they would be good for like a Maverick reboot. Obviously don't even want a reboot of any of the shows tbh

So, I'm guessing you never heard of the shows "White Collar" and "Prison Break"?

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I've heard of Prison Break, but never saw it. I don't have much enthusiasm for new shows. Seems every time I get into one it's cancelled within a season or two. The deplorable ones last forever.

reply

[–] Tresix 8 years ago

"Prison Break" ran for four seasons and there's talk of them doing a revival. Miller from "PB" now plays Captain Cold on "The Flash" and "DC's Legends of Tomorrow".

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Never seen them.
The only shows I watch that are still in their original run are The Simpsons and Supernatural.

You got me beat, I only watch Sunday Morning. Does watching football count?

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Lol. I'm watching football right now. I don't they were referring to sports on this thread though.

reply

[–] cind5 8 years ago

Oh well. I'm pretty sure they'll never cancel Sunday Morning. Or football either.

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Probably not.
Or the Kardashians either, unfortunately.

reply

[–] cind5 8 years ago

Aren't they the enemy of startship, The U.S.S. Enterprise. Short little alien people with huge ears. Am I wrong?

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

Those freaks should be on their own pay channel. Then we wouldn't even have to look at them in passing. Only the much larger group of freaks (their viewers) who made them so damn popular.

reply

[–] aManAndHisThoughts 8 years ago

On a hot day Jim could have parked his trailer in the shade from Kim Kardashians ass.

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

I'm proud to say I don't know what any of their asses look like. Only that their fans are a bunch of asses.
The name of their godawful show is a title in irony - "Keeping up with...". It should be "Sinking down to....".

reply

[–] cind5 8 years ago

Fletch, I'm going out on a limb here and say, you don't like the Kardashians. Am I wrong?
Well, there is one good thing about them...anybody got an answer?

We live as we dream - alone.

reply

[–] Fletcherj119 8 years ago

They're not on a channel I watch,

I'm not around anyone that talks about them.

Well, there's two good things.
