Older And Wiser

[Blind Gossip] This very successful TV show ran for more than five seasons but is no longer in production

There is talk of a movie featuring the original cast… but some of them are not satisfied with that!

There are at least three key cast members who don’t just want a stand-alone movie. They want to bring back the show to TV for a few more seasons!

Of course the entire cast will be portrayed as older and wiser and having moved on to a new chapter in their lives, but they think that their original fan base would love it as long as the characters live/work in close proximity. They don’t think they would even need every original cast member to make it successful (although that would be nice). They are trying to convince the other talent to join them. Quite frankly, each person’s enthusiasm seems to be directly tied to how much they would be paid!

Definitely not The Partridge Family.

    • This fits to the photo accompanying the story, and 5 of the original cast have already worked together on Kutcher’s Netflix series “The Ranch” since 2016. But… “as long as they live/work in close proximity” sounds more like Friends… Hmm…

  7. Friends!!

    Favorite character is Joey!

    Good idea? Maybe for a limited run!

    I’m praying this is true!!

    • Well, the money comment makes the most sense with this guess. All the Friends actors are probably set for life and have the luxury of choosing whatever projects they like. The gang from That ‘70s Show all work pretty steadily, and many have been on The Ranch together. Plus, the picture of the Partridge Family would be a clue because it’s a 70s sitcom about a family AND a competitor of the Brady Bunch.

  10. That 70’s Show. Whatever the show, I don’t blame them for wanting to cash in on the nostalgia factor. That seems all the rage theses days. Easier than coming up with anything new.

  11. TV Show: Downton Abbey

    Favorite Character/s: Carson, Mary, Thomas, the Dowager Countess

    I’d heard a movie was in the works already but with the ending we were given it might be difficult to get them all back together. I hope they won’t be coming together to kill off the Dowager Countess!

  12. Saved by the bell favorite characters being zack, slater, kelly

    They better hurry and bring it back before all of mario lopez’s hair falls out! He can’t wear those hair pieces for much longer and get away with it!!!

    • That might not fit, depending on how they count it. SBTB “proper” only had 4 seasons. To get to more than 5, you’d have to count Good Morning, Miss Bliss and The College Years (which ran for one season each).

  16. Dawson’s Creek?
    Favourite characters: Joey, Pacey, Dawson.

    Good ideas? Why not. Everything else is being given cpr and electric paddles to revive.

  17. People seem to have lost the ability to create something new, they’re always resorting back to stuff that has been done before. Are people just worn out, so tired that they can’t use their imagination anymore, or has social media fried their brains to the point that they have lost the ability to invent new and exciting things?

    • I don’t think this is entirely true. While the revival phase is a bit heavy there are SO MANY more tv and media outlets than their once were. Room for both original and established material. If this were all network re-booting shows I’d agree but I get the idea that a trusted popular commodity just equals OLD viewers plus a slew of new ones.

  18. If this is the show friends hell yea bring it back! It was my fav comedy. I loved all the characters but related most to Rachel.

  19. Melrose Place comes to mind.
    As does Beverly Hills 90210 (old Tori is in serious need of money)

  25. Sex and the City came to mind first from recent movie 3 buzz but politician wannabe Nixon and Cattrall would most likely be out.

    Carrie, Big and Charlotte want the series back? Possible, but SJP already has a successful show on HBO.

  29. Don’t know, don’t care. I’m sick of the laziness that has plagued Hollywood for the last decade honestly. Most of the content coming out are either sequels, adaptations, or reboots/remakes of old shows or movies.

  35. tv show : friends
    Favorite Character/s: rachel green ( jennifer aniston )
    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back? i don’t know

  46. Friends obviously. I don’t think it will be as funny — so much of the humor was based on the characters’ naïveté and st their age that would translate to stupidity and be unbelievable. I like Chandler, Monica, everyone except phoebe. Phoebes voice is nails on a chalkboard

  47. Only off the top of my head (I haven’t read/heard anything):

    Show: Gossip Girl

    Favorite Character: Blair Waldorf, the one and only

    Good idea? I’m kind of interested, although Blair without Serena would be difficult to conceive and I gather Blake Lively is the one holding out for the $$$. Hope it could be worked out.

    (And I know that the Chuck/Blair fans will be upset if Ed Westwick’s legal issues keep him away…but not an issue for me.)

  51. TV Show: I feel like this is Downton Abbey

    Favorite Character/s: all of them but i loved Dowager Countess of Grantham

    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back? i would love to see more seasons rather then a movie.

  53. The West Wing
    C J is the best by far.
    Don’t think it will happen, i haven’t seen a reboot that worked (except Will and Grace mainly for Jack and Karen)

  55. Teen Wolf.
    Fave Charas: Stiles, Lydia, Stiles, Liam, Isaac, Kira
    I think it is a good idea but at the same time, the show just ended? I don’t know how well the movie would do.

  56. TV Show: Friends- none really had huge movie careers after the show, of course the only notable one woould be jennifer aniston but even then her career has been mucky. Seems like vast majority are hard up for easy payday hence wanting the show.

    Favorite Character/s: never really watched it, tried, never understood the appeal.

    [Optional] Maybe movie wise but i dont know tv show wise with the banwagon going on with all these reboots people might be turned off by it

  57. Gossip girl?

    Penn Badgley and Leighton Meester are def not on board. Not sure about the third.

    Could be wrong all together, but I hope I’m not. A girl can dream?!

  64. I think it’s Facts of Life.

    They’d definitely need Blair, Jo and Tootie – Natalie maybe.

    I’d watch a next gen version of that if they were involved!

  66. wow it didn’t even occur to me that 70s show but i would definitely watch that! the characters started so young that they’re just now 30s/40s, could be about them being married and having kids and jobs. Kelso & Jackie definitely have to end up together!

  67. Queer As Folk only ran for five, so likely not the subject of this BI, but it is almost embarrassing to watch how thirsty certain members of the cast are to get a reboot made–film or otherwise. The reunion they did for Entertainment Weekly really lit a fire under a couple of the more obscure butts and their Twitter is full of “Let Netflix know!” “Let Showtime know!” “Email xyz person and tell them you need more QaF!”

    • OPPPSSSS….sorry GoldenGirls….I missed the second page and your comment….

      Seinfeld

  70. Friends… or at least I’m hoping it is! I would still see that, but a limited run would be best to keep the audience wanting.

    Seeing the cast’s interviews over the years, they’ve gone from saying that it would never work to reminiscing about the best job they had that they should’ve kept going longer. I wouldn’t be surprised if something is already in the works.

  71. Live and work in close proxy…Downton Abbey. And I agree, you get a couple core people, you could give it another run easy.

  72. I’m probably way off, but I was thinking maybe Growing Pains since they’re talking about them being older and wiser, and the picture is of a family. Most of them, with the exception of Ashley Johnson, don’t seem to be doing much now. A lot of these reboots are shows from the ’80s-’90s. They could explain away the ones who are dead or don’t want to be in it.

    Either that or That ’70s Show, maybe.

    Optional: I’m really sick of all the unnecessary reboots so no.

  73. Community

    (six Seasons and a Movie) famous line from the show. I imagine Donald Glover would be hard to get right now but I would love to see Troy and Abad back together.

  75. I hope it’s not that 70’s show. With accusations of mental, sexual abuse and violence, I cannot watch unless those two men are not in it. Also, Scientology is very strange to me. I’ve heard that at least one cast member is a Scientologist.

  76. Has anyone guessed glee? It ran for six years. Also, the partridge family makes me think of music, it was wildly successful. The clue talent seems to refer to music, also. Instead of just actors, they are multi talented.

    Optional: never watched it, so don’t have a favorite.

  77. TV Show: Party of Five

    Favorite Character/s: Charlie Salinger

    [Optional] Good idea to bring it back?
    Why not? They are rebooting everything else.

  79. I’d doubt that this is Dawson’s Creek, the series finale kind of wrapped things up in a way that would make a revival pointless.

    Maybe Friends or that 70’s show?

  80. I’m late but also the only person to guess Glee so far. Since The Partridge Family was also a musical show.

  82. Just FYI, Friends is never, never, ever getting back together. They all agreed the show was about 20-30 somethings navigating in to adulthood with their FRIENDS which is the most important people at that age.

    However I do have the answer to this blind!!!!
    The show is SEINFELD!
