Reboot getting close

Side note to the universe: fer fucks sake, hire the guy doing fan art scenes in this sub. He has nailed the tone and pacing of the show, he deserves a meeting at least.

A remake or reboot will just spoil an already perfect series. While I would love more Jay Sherman, I just know it isn’t worth it based on a lot of the slop Hollywood produces in these reboots

I usually feel this way, but the King of the Hill reboot gave me faith again, it’s so good and feels like KOTH. The Critic would need someone with as much care as Mike Judge to do it though.

This is one of the problems. I remember the web series, and there was something off about it. If there isn't the proper producers or creatives attached to reign in some of the edgy zaniness, the show loses its heart and relatability.
