Sex and The City 2.0

The past few years have seen a plethora of updates/remakes of some of my favorite television shows. Full House, Gilmore Girls, Roseanne, and Hawaii Five O, have all returned to our screens in recent years, with most of the original  cast coming along for one last ride. Although Roseanne was let go from her own show after one season due to her racist tweets.

 

Will and Grace, one of my most beloved shows, received the updated treatment for several seasons. While I watched the new version, my initial feeling towards it was disappointment. To revise the series, they essentially erased everything that occurred during the last season of the original series. I felt that approach was disingenuous. 

 

Now, one of my most beloved shows, Sex and The City, is being rebooted. Sex and The City has a special place in my heart. I would watch it on Sunday nights, along with my friend Melanie. We were both single parents and would watch together downstairs in my home while our children played together upstairs. It would give Melanie and I  both a short reprieve from the stresses of being single working mothers.

 

I will be watching with anticipation the Sex and The City reboot when it premieres. I hope it does not disappoint. Have you watched any of the recent reboots?

Not sure I ever saw a reboot that met the originals excellence. Sometimes its best to let them go and enjoy what was made in reruns.

Nope. I never watched most of the first go around. This could be the year though…

I hear you and agree! Even the follow up movies are often lacking (what did you think of the Sopranos prequel?) Maybe they could undo and redo the last season of Game of Thrones while they’re at it!

First, plethora is one of my favorite words. I have several. Wait, I think that's a blog topic! Second, I will be watching with you -- but I've always been disappointed in the remake unfortunately.
