UPN* wants to do a remake of Family Affair with Gary "Sheriff Buck" Cole as Uncle Bill and Tim "Lord of Darkness" Curry as Mr French. I am not making this up.

*Or possibly the WB. Like there's a difference.

My God, Tim LaHaye was *right.* The Apocalypse has officially arrived!

That's dead terrifying even though I love both those men to death.

Oh, holy Elvis. TIM CURRY AS MR. FRENCH?

Hell, I'd watch it, but I'd have nightmares for years. And the actors playing Buffy and Jody would certainly need years of therapy...

Well, to be fair, the first set of kids weren't an album of stability either...

That's just way too scary... but sounds like something a network would try. (We should be grateful it's not going to the Big Screen!)

Why the hell hasn't UPN been destroyed yet? C'mon, not even FOX's stuff is as bad as UPN's. They're the bastards who gave us "The Diary of Desmond Pfeiffer" or whatever the hell that crap show was named. And I should know from crap shows. I used to watch "The Sentinel", for God sakes.

Who's playing Buffy? I won't believe a word of this until I hear who's playing Buffy. I had a Mrs. Beasley doll when I was a kid. I think.

And look at you with your cool new icons. Lance H: yay!

If I have posted this response three times, it is not my fault. I have but one comment to give for my country, but YOU, AnnLarimer, receive far, far, more.

I never had a Mrs Beasley, 'cause she was, y'know, Buffy's. It would have been wrong. The slightly creepy girl next door had one.

Icons! Yes! Icons! I made poor Lance, like, within the first ten minutes [livejournal.com profile] iconaddicts went up, and have had nowhere to use him. *snifl*

I can also now finally fulfill my ambition of making an icon of Michael O'Donoghue beating an owl to death with a hammer.

"I used to watch "The Sentinel", for God sakes."

You have my deepest sympathies. (I used to watch it, too. Now I do drugs. It's less harmfull.)

What about Michael O'Donoghue's imatations of [insert celebrity here] having long, sharp, pointed knitting needles inserted into their eyes?

Oh, and I did have a Mrs Beasley doll. My mom bought it. I never played with it. It was too creepy. That and I was too busy playing "Guillotine & The French Revolution" with my Barbies.

That's....that's just so wrong.

What a frightening thought. And with Gary "That's Buck. With a B." Cole and Tim "Come up to the Lab" Curry. That's.....just scary.
