REMAKE WITH BLACK ACTORS


wHOM would be ideal as cag n lace? But this time it's black woman cops in modern usa as last *lot is looking dated. (*lot = tHE EPISODES.)
Or has that idea been done already? If not -tie in old cases with new ones so as to cross ref to prev plot lines within modern day. Revenge of offsprings of old cases or next generation continuation of crime vs law in relation to their dept unsolved.
Could even have someone wear a bowtie in the office again.
Cag as yankees fan -this time they fan of Yankees again. (re:Wearing Yankee jacket)
Typewriters replaced with laptops. etc
Maybe even give 'stars' better haircuts.(lol)
Even fatter captain,
"Outta the way, folks!" could become "Step aside, moe fugger!"
The wife beating cop plotline could become the modern version ie the wife beating cop plotline. (*Things don't change that much.) (*=Not a LOL)
wOW,marybeth just said that if he is hitting her then their must be a reason why he does it-what is her part init!" Cag bit her head off in a disgustingly filthy washroom scene. Perhaps the new ones could employ a cleaner.
marybeth looks like a bloody miserable Romulan with those scarey eyebrows.
Ha ha ha wifebeater just knocked up marybath + husband out of bed - middle of night when drunk ..
Her kid who knows mum is a cop - comes out too - like what's he gonna do? Mum with gun and hen pecked dad are already dealing with door banger so he is sent back to room as irrelevent.
23.08.08. Twin towers in street shot. Gone but not forgotten/forgoten/forgoton.
Right then, that's ended so that's that and this is me, last survivor of the Nosepickerz signing off.

No, we don't need a cheap imitation "remake" of an old classic. Start with an entirely new show.



Christine + Mary Beth forever

Roseanne + Jackie forever

I READ online that a 30 years later redo was planned with the same two actors playing the leads, or at extroverted to with the focus being on Brigitte Cagney.becoming a cop. THAT could be interesting. I would like to know what became of Verna Dee the character played by singer/actress Merry Clayton. And she SHOULD have had a credit in the 7th season opening montage IMO

I loved that the re-union films kept the same actors and aged them so naturally and had then gain weight realistically.

Does that mean Det Mark Patrie would be white?

I don't always have a signature... but when I do, it's in bold.
