MB, you're so right about ST:TNG.  It was a new cast, set decades later.  Not that they ignored the original cast.  McCoy, Scotty and Spock appeared in it.  Kirk was in one of the movies.  The question is, can this reboot-or-whatever get any of the the original cast to appear?

Maybe I'm misunderstanding the article.  Is this another remake or a reboot?  If it's the latter, is it DS 50+ years later/  Who of the characters (based upon the performers) is still alive?  We've got Carolyn, David, Quentin and Maggie (among the main ones - there are other minor ones).  Even Angelique, in some form, would still be alive.  Everyone else has gone to the great beyond.  I forgot, Willie is still alive.

Do they intend to get the original actors/actresses back?  Will they be recast?  Dallas was rebooted with the OC, as was Will and Grace and Roseanne (now The Connors after Ms. Barr did her whoops and got knocked off).

Like I said, I'm a pessimist.  Guess we all need to wait and see.

I'm not holding my breath.  We fans have all been there, done that with "revivals."  And, in the end, nothing happens.  Call me a pessimist.

Bob, it's not just a sealed pack, but a sealed case.  Twenty packs of WWII LS's.  Maybe I could retire.

P.S.  For DS fans from our generation, do you remember:  "Run a little faster, jump a little higher with Red Ball Jets."  And:  "Who walks down stairs without a care and makes s sliinkity sound?  A spring..."  Those ads appeared on DS. 

Liz:  "You'll take your own luggage upstairs, keep you own room clean, pay for your own supplies and deal with an unruly child.  It's not much different from being a public school teacher for which you were educated."

Vicki:  "I'm starting to think I should've taken the position at that girls reformatory school.  At least I'd get hospitalization and a pension."

Ironically, Bob, several of the Brady kids did, too, at the same time.  It started - another irony - while filming an anti-smoking episode.  Greg had to be caught trying a ciggie.  He then became addicted, and his "siblings" did occasional puffs off-set and in hiding. 

When I lived in another city on the west coast, a place I was going to move into was being gutted and remodeled from basement to ceiling the the four walls.  Floor boards and dropped ceiling has be be removed and replaced.  Under the floor of one of the bedrooms was the "insulation:"  old newspapers rolled up and other sundry flammible things, but among them was a complete carton of Lucky Strikes, unopened, from WWII.  It had the patriotic motto printed on it:  "Lucky Strikes Green has Gone to War."  The green circle had been removed.  Knowing it was somewhat of a historical item, I've kept it.  Maybe I can put it up for sale and ask $3,000.

Here we go, bob:  "What do you want?  Good grammar or good taste?  Winston tastes good like a (clap, clap), cigarette should!"

"You've come a long way, baby!  You've got your own cigarette now, baby!  You've come a long, long way!"

"Come to Marlboro county."

I think Matthew was the biggest DS smoker.  He kept getting David to pilfer them off of Mrs. Johnson.
