Loved Dixie Carter. The original casting on DW was so perfect..

I've said it many times before over the years and I'll say it again here now. You don't mess with a classic. No Dixie, no Meshach, heck no Alice Ghostly (all you fellow fans forgot about Bernice), no way. I don't care what actresses they get they won't hold a candle to the original cast

Didn't forget her ... she just didn't add much to the show for me.

from the OP link:

developing a reboot of the classic ’90s sitcom Designing Women
When did this series become "classic?" Mediocre writing and hammy acting, it was Scarlett O' Hara navigates the modern world.

Reboot? Of a series which should never have been done in the first place?

I wasn't aware that presenting one's own original version of something was a requirement for not liking recycled materials.

Name all..or any...reboot of a TV series which was a hit. Dallas? Roseanne? The Brady Brides? The musical version of The Honeymooners?

So ... you didn't actually watch many episodes?

Well, of course not. I don't think I ever sat through an entire episode. Let me guess...right after I stopped watching it got really good?

Nah, I just could tell from your description you didn't know what you were talking about.

No, you could tell from my post that I didn't like the show. If you take a bite of some food and you do not like it, are you required to eat the entire thing before you may not like it? Or only not like it after eating it on several occasions? Is it your notion that if a sufficient amount of the food is shoved down your throat, you will suddenly start liking it?

You can take one bite and decide you don't like something, but you're not qualified to critique the whole menu.
