Obama v McCain? Is Sheldon Turner for fucking real? by newc0253	Jul 29th, 2008 03:50:25 AM
Even tongue in cheek, that's a cheesy fucking quote to be making.
No way by Lauryn2000	Jul 29th, 2008 05:16:13 AM
What's next? Mannix Barnaby Jones Crap...Magnum P.I. We already have a remake of Knight Rider...come on studios..originality!
hes like obama by ZO	Jul 29th, 2008 08:43:56 AM
he believes in fairy tales and everyone will be nice to you if you are nice to them. fantasy world is a great place for an obama like character
Isn't Karl Malden still younger than McCain though? by fiester	Jul 29th, 2008 08:48:09 AM
That analogy is, as the young people say, whack.
Does this mean they've gone all PC... by MCVamp	Jul 29th, 2008 09:43:50 AM
...and recast Michael Douglas's character as a black guy? Wait, let's be even more progressive and change the Karl Malden character to a cantankerous grizzled old detective who just happens to be gay. And how far are we from having some network greenlight "Bacardi & Cola--The Series"?
Funniest moment rewatching this classic series by ArcadianDS	Jul 29th, 2008 10:51:11 AM
Is when Malden says to Douglas: "So when you gonna give me the number of your tailor? You keep promising to." and Douglas is standing there in his massively wide lapel sporting tweed sportcoat and a polyester necktie as wide as Route 66. Im sure they weren't going for a joke, but looking back at that scene from today's perspective, It made me laugh out loud.
also, wasn't this show already remade by ArcadianDS	Jul 29th, 2008 10:52:40 AM
and called Miami Vice? Im betting thats what we'll get out of the 3 episodes this new version managed to choke out before being thrown into a river.
ArcadianDS and Lauryn2000 and monkeybrains by MGTHEDJ	Jul 29th, 2008 01:16:50 PM
Yes "Miami Vice" was a remake of "Streets of SF", with a dash of "Starsky and Hutch." And "CSI: Miami" is a remake of "Hawaii Five-O." Monkeybrains, that was damn good. Suddenly I had a flashback to when I was 5 years old.-----later----m
How dare they!!! by wowsah156	Jul 29th, 2008 01:56:59 PM
There is no way that a remake would capture the vibe and feel of the area now. San Francisco is a sterile city now full of coffee yuppees and internet moguls. Yuck!! No point in a remake.
wowsah156 by thelivingsunset	Jul 29th, 2008 02:39:12 PM
When was the last time you were in the Mission District in San Francisco? This city is still largely immigrants and you know crap of what you are talking about. I think the term coffee yuppie would be better applied to somewhere in the Northwest and there are the rich people from the silicon valley, but that is not the majority. Try walking around a bit and seeing the people actually in the city.
Wowsah Re: S.F.... by MCVamp	Jul 29th, 2008 02:56:12 PM
Hell, I was in the theatre district last Christmas and there were homeless people, panhandlers, shouting psychos, and a major mix of skin tones. Maybe you're thinking of Seattle?
Richard Hatch by Caela	Jul 29th, 2008 04:00:45 PM
Anyone remember Battlestar Galactica's Richard (Apollo, Tom Zarek) Hatch as Dan Robbins on TSOSF? He did a good job, although the series was dying with Michael Douglas's departure. And it didn't help that Karl Malden HATED Hatch's guts. Wonder if we'll see any cameos in this new series?
Caela, I didn't know that Malden hated Hatch. by mrfan	Jul 29th, 2008 05:07:42 PM
Even forgot he was on there after Douglas.
wowsah156... by Lenny Nero	Jul 29th, 2008 05:19:49 PM
...have you got San Francisco completely wrong.
Compare to Barack Obama and John McCain by Alonzo Mosely	Jul 29th, 2008 05:41:05 PM
STOP. Hollywood, fucking stop, just stop. Seriously, the patience of the great masses is growing fucking thin, each and every one of you might be the person enquiring 'Why don't they eat cake', or in this case, 'why don't they watch a CSI instead' as you are lead to your public guillotining. This is your final warning...
as long as they still jump cars over the SF hills by boast	Jul 29th, 2008 07:15:52 PM
that was the only reason i watched that show when i was kid.
Another cop show... and a remake at that... by Pizza The Hut	Jul 29th, 2008 10:31:06 PM
Now, wait! Let me guess... It will be darker and grittier this time, plus colder and more heartless... Oh, joy... Just like every other lame cop show these days. How many brains at CBS did it take to come up with this crap? Ah, well... At least it's not CSI spin-off number five.
WTF is this guy smoking? by Rubiks Doob	Jul 29th, 2008 11:36:40 PM
Streets of San Francisco has absolutely zero connection to McCain and Obama whatsoever. What a stupid stupid thing to say.
But how can they cast... by Kid Z	Jul 30th, 2008 10:44:03 AM
...the Karl Malden character? There hasn't been anyone in Hollywood with a nose that big in over 30 years!
What's next?... by Kid Z	Jul 30th, 2008 10:44:49 AM
..."Mannix: The Next Generation"?
CSI: San Francisco running gag ... by MurderMostFowl	Jul 30th, 2008 12:43:30 PM
Another murder in the Castro District. Jimmy get over here with your body fluid analysis kit to process the scene. Semen... semen... semen... semen.... ( echo fade away to the credits )
This could be another... by Raymond Shaw	Jul 30th, 2008 02:21:16 PM
network franchise. They could do Streets of San Francisco: Cleveland and Streets of San Francisco: Albany
The Tenderloin district is still pretty rank by Tacom	Jul 30th, 2008 02:39:12 PM
There's a lot of gentrification here but you walk down Market west of Powell St. station it's like MIDNIGHT COWBOY.
DarkHawke by Screwbini	Jul 30th, 2008 04:15:30 PM
For what it's worth, I don't think you're an Uncle Tom or a racist. I just think you're pretty simple-minded if your considered opinion of Obama is that he is merely a good-looking babbling moron. That sounds like a pretty accurate description of George Bush and, increasingly, John McCain (although I'm not so sure about the good-looking part!) You can disagree with Obama, but he's no idiot.
You know what San Francisco show should actually be remade? by nalapou	Jul 30th, 2008 05:26:40 PM
Journeyman. With the same cast, crew and stories. Fammit!
If they drop Pat Williams' theme music... by Darkman	Jul 30th, 2008 06:30:08 PM
...what's the fuckin' point?!
Them crazy Hollywood types by BizarroJerry	Jul 30th, 2008 07:26:28 PM
He can't resist making some political comment. In other words, "One's like the messiah Obama whom I will vote for, and the other's like that asshole McCain..." Anybody remember the Dragnet remake starring Al Bundy from several years back? I was actually a fan of that show until they expanded the cast and made it crappier. In any case, they should only remake this series if it begins with a obnoxious narrator shouting "THAH STREETS OF SAN FRANCISCO!! A Quinn-Martin Production!"
Bring back Frank Cannon and the whole Quinn Martin ensemble. by kabong	Jul 30th, 2008 09:39:36 PM
O'Hara, US Treasury No, reimagine Mannix: Joe's daughter. Remakes ad nauseam . . . .
The Straights of San Francisco by ScoobySnack	Jul 31st, 2008 02:12:36 AM
Now, that would be an interesting take on the concept.
DarkHawke by Screwbini	Jul 31st, 2008 02:01:38 PM
Bush "really hasn't had much handed to him"? OBAMA is the one who can't give a speech without a teleprompter? Oh wait, I get it. You're being sarcastic. Sorry I missed that the first time.
what the hell kinda remake is that? by the milf lover	Jul 31st, 2008 10:45:54 PM
it was a cop show, this new version is a cop show, and I'm guessing that other than the title and the characters' names, there will be no similarities whatsoever. So why arent they just making some 'new' cop show instead? You know, its not like there arent already over a dozen new cop shows every fucking year anyway..
Too bad by Screwbini	Aug 1st, 2008 10:29:14 AM
sigh poor kid, DarkHawke - you can't even see what's right in front of you. Come on, get off your high horse. I can assure you that I have as much access to various sources of news and information as you do, so save the lame media-bashing. No one has to spoon-feed me the opinion that Bush has been a disaster for this country - hell, even some Republicans now admit that!
Hawaii 5-O remake will be next by Knobules	Aug 1st, 2008 11:43:28 AM
You watch. And how they can replace Jack Lord will be interesting. Nobody can say "this is pure horse" like that guy.
