This.  No Sybil and no Polly means this is Fawlty Towers in name only.

With the absolute plethora of celebrities and artists who turned into utter shit in their later years you went and picked Stephen King?

I was doing a rewatch for the first time in over a decade, and there is a ton of sexism and racism that just can’t be handwaved away by saying “it’s the character and you’re not supposed to identify with them”.

This.

Ugh, bad idea. For one thing a huge part of the show’s hilarity was his physical comedy, he’s 83 now so that’s out of the question. Sachs is gone, Scales is retired, it won’t be FT without those two.  

I have to think that’s Cleese’s plan/only idea at this point.

Like the white man cant jump remake....

Fawlty Towers is very funny but it’s also almost universally loved, and one pretty widely-accepted (including by Cleese himself, previously) reason for the near unanimous positive opinion it enjoys is the fact that it ended before it wore out it’s welcome.

So, what’s going to suck more: this, or the Frasier revival?

They should redo that episode with the racist general who keeps saying the n word

I’d rather watch Michael Palin just eating a sandwich. He’d bring warmth and humanity to it, and it would still be very funny.

what a bitter old piece of shit who is hellbent on tarnishing his legacy 

“.....if you took offense....”  That’s not an apology.

The REAL story is that Chris “outted himself as music “act”.

With this news, it seems pretty obvious the child has some kind of mental illness and was either not diagnosed or getting treatment.

People are still out here carrying this ignorant, petulant, VIOLENT man child’s water. He continually shows that he won’t change and will continue to be the spoiled baby that he is because he has fans who cheer him on.

Yeah, but uh...didn’t Brown do a song about how he gonna F you to sleep or something? I mean, that’s Shakespeare on wax right there! Definitely Grammy material! Or...not.

Chris Brown is letting the world know how much of a sore loser and ignorant person he is.

Noah killed Mr. Brown on this one:

The only reason that I know Chris Brown is because he beat Rihanna. That’s... that’s not a great indicator.
