Valley Girl is much better than Fast Times at Ridgemont High or (especially) 16 Candles. Ironically, given the subject matter, it feels way less dated. 

Because it’s better to have literally any connection to an established IP, no matter how tenuous, than it is to pay a writer for a new idea.  New ideas are terrifying.

The Creator is well known for inappropriate behavior. He’s rumored to have knocked up this inexperienced girl named Mary about 2000 years ago.

Had many, many friends work on shows by The Creator. They all had the same story: He was never sexual or predatory, but did cross boundaries (eg being too friendly with teen actors and the shoulder rub).

Seth Meyers is the likely choice. He’s been mentioning the possibility an endgame point for his Late Night gig, so he might be ready for a new challenge. Tina would probably be the biggest choice from a popularity standpoint, but I think she’s maybe grown beyond the job, and it would almost look like a step back for…

On one hand, Thompson has a point that half a century is a good run and maybe the show in it’s current form could be given a rest. On the other hand, there’s nothing inherently wrong with the show that a little trimming the fat in some places and tweaking it in other places couldn’t fix.
