I remember when I had that Hat Chat with /not my real name and I lumped Greatest American Hero in with Wonder Woman and The Six Million Dollar Man.
I felt the gaffe through the ether.
Turns out illustr8r was a big fan, and I should have known the former shows were in the 70s and the latter was in the 80s.
Doesn’t matter though. The liberal bints are screwing with her memories.
-Of course. Ruin everything good about my growing up, feminazis. 😡 – illustr8r
ABC TO REBOOT GREATEST AMERICAN HERO WITH A WOMAN In STARRING ROLE.
I don’t understand why. Just think of the original as a guy who identifies as a woman. He had the luscious hair. (ducks)
Believe it or not, I never watched that show.
But I always loved the theme song.
I was a kid in the 70s and early 80’s. We didn’t watch TV, we were free roamers until dark. We watched TV on the weekends.
Heroine and heroin pronounced the same,no?
Shot the tv in the early 70’s
My wife’s favorite show at that time 80’s, I think
Little House on the Prairie
OK. It all started with the movie version of ‘Wild Wild West’ Ruin the theme song with rap. Great. Will Smith is not and never ever will be James West. It was horrible!
They inflicted Will Farrell on ‘Land of the Lost’ and ruined that too.
Starbuck on the revival of’ Battlestar Galactica’ became a girl. The macho character that got all the girls-was now a girl. I still watched it-its great sci fi-but my heart broke a little.
I’m waiting for them to ruin ‘Buck Rogers in the 25th Century’ next. Just you wait, it’ll happen.
Fat Asian lesbian handicap….
Look, the jokes are too easy. The reality is that The Greatest American Hero was a goof ball inept loser. By casting a womyn in the role, the feminist movement will be set back at lest 3 thousand years.
Persoanlly, I’m waiting for the all female reboot of Brokeback Mountain. How hott would that be?
Add 30 Pounds and a Put a Double Dildo in his Hand , and He’s a Lesbian !!!
He was great in “Pippin!”
She’ll be Killing All the Bad Guy’s With ……..
Slow undetectable Poisoning’s !
Quick Punches With The Double Dildo … Wham Pow Pow !
Faking Submissiom Then a Judo Kick to The Heart … Whoosh Pow Wham !
Be There or Be Square !!!
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Just….
Noooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
I still can’t handle female sports announcers how am I gonna handle one of my old timey TV show favs as a woman – maybe it could be a trans-gendered male?
Or better yet – Pat (remember when Pat was funny?)
Just remember, all the tranny stuff got going wiyh Tom Hanks in Bosom Buddies.
I do believe they briefly rebooted this, or tried to, with a woman in the suit not too long after the original suit died. Check YT.
Just keep rebooting TV shows from the past, idiots. Every reboot is an admission that you’re completely out of ideas and lack the ability to come up with anything new.
You can do that all you want Hollywood, but the reality is you lose money every time you pander to minorities instead of providing fare people actually want to see.
Cliche,
Nah. Cross dressing has been going on for yucks, grins, giggles, and laughs since the prehistoric caveman (as opposed to the historic caveman).
As far as I remember seeing, it started with “Uncle Miltie” Milton Berle.
And there was Tootsie (1982, Dustin Hoffman). Among too many, many others.
What’s next 2 women from Boston driving a Prius with an antifa flag painted on top.
Not a single, original thought out there in Media Land.
What a bunch of sad, pathetic, worthless, brain-dead millionaires.
How bout “Hogan’s Heroes” with a bunch of Palestinians in an Israeli concentration camp?
Ha ha ha!
Or wait! I know! A show about 7 stranded cast-aways on a deserted island!
izlamo delenda est …
Earthworm Jim wore it better
@Aaron Burr: The perfect movie would have been a remake of Brokeback Mountain with the original cast, except that Heath Ledger would be playing his role as The Joker from The Dark Knight.
“Wanna know how I got these scars? Meet me in the tent.”
You will know when they hit rock bottom when they cast a butch as Kojak.
Deplorable,
True.
And, of course, Shakespeare days. You’d have a play or a recurring comedy bit. But Bosom Buddies was the first show that I ever recall where the entire premise was dudes in dresses and their shenanigans of trying to fool women and not fool men who, for some reason, thought they were passable. Or didn’t.
Before that was Three’s Company (1977) where Jack pretended to be gay, but was a notorious poonhound so no worries, and the ribald jokes from Norman Fell and Don Knotts would be considered hate crimes these days.
They played the role as a means to an end. The rent’s too damn high so I need to (a) dress up as a woman, (b) pretend I’m gay so I can live with two women and not be stigmatized by “shacking up”. Old uptight, late 70s California being what it was apparently.
TV is/was the conduit to the kids. Especially back when all you had was ABC, NBC, and CBS. With movies, you have a paywall and parental discretion to take their kids to go see Tootsie, or Priscilla, Queen of the Desert.
Now, Disney will just start cutting to the chase and reimagining Cinderfella, The Little Merman, and Peter Pansexual.
Cliche, Disney won’t do the Little Merman–to cis for them.
I can see a new Jillian’s Island, with an all female cast except the Howells, who will be two gay guys. Ginger will still be a bombshell, but MaryAnn will be a dyke.
Why is she the greatest American Hero? Is it because she can make a Hero Samich better and faster than anyone else? Inquiring minds want to know!
Have they done Jesus as a woman yet?
They could call it The Greatest Story Never Told
Um guys…shortly after the original went off the air, they filmed a pilot for a sequel series, with a female wearing the suit. It even had Robert Culp playing the same character as the “handler”.
It obviously didn’t fly. Kinda like Ralph Hinkley. ba dum bum
Seriously though, I remember that show fondly, though I admit I haven’t seen it since it was on TV, and I was 12 or so I guess.
I wouldn’t worry about this new reboot. They’ll put a chick in the lead role, and all the stories will be SJW-filtered crap. So bad plotlines, villains who are all straight white Christian men, you know how this shit goes.
They’ll be lucky to get half a season before the hammer falls – more likely the show won’t make it past the pilot.
Television series Writing session:
“Ok, we remake Mr. Ed with a woman who is romantically involved with it”
“No, too soon, too forward leaning”
“What about Mother Knows Best?”
“Too obvious”
“Gilligan’s Ilse of Lesbos”
“Yoga Bear?”
“How about HR Puffinstuff, where Witchypoo is is married to the flute?”
“My Significant Other the Car?”
“No”
“What if we write an original one?”
“Shut up, Dave”
“The Marsupial Patrol?”
“How about Ripped Cord, a woman who gives birth while skydiving?”
“Super-Mannish? With Michelle Obama as the star?”
“That’s too easy”
“How about a soap opera about Trump- Hopefully Only One Term to Serve?”
“I have an idea, how about an original series?”
“SHUT UP Dave!”
“My three Transitioning Sons?”
“Tim, you just got promoted. Run with it.”
Actually what all this is about, is to remake all the old shows, and erase history of when gayness and man hating and perversion were not the norm in our society.
If they had actual balls they would remake Wonder Woman with a Black transgendered former man who is in a lesbian relationship with a female General who ‘transitioned’ into a man, but changed back to be with Wonder Woman. And fight crime.
@Poor Lazlo: Nah – plot’s too simplistic.
🙂
All female cast, well that went well for “Ghostbusters”. Not!
The gender switcheroo is a waste of money and time. Still enough normals to regect it. “Frequency”, staring, Jim Caviezel and Dennis Quaid was a decent movie about a father and son. Hollyweird changed the lead to a woman in the television version. It was awful and cancelled before the end of the first season.
