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?

That analogy is, as the young people say, whack.

...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

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

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.

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

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.

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.

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?

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.

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...

Another cop show... and a remake at that...

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.

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...

network franchise. They could do Streets of San Francisco: Cleveland and Streets of San Francisco: Albany

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?

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.

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?

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

*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

You watch. And how they can replace Jack Lord will be interesting. Nobody can say "this is pure horse" like that guy.
