That QAF Reboot

Sep 25, 2022 03:52

Remember that reboot of QAF that was oh so politically correct
that they wanted nothing to do with Our Boys?

Well, it's canceled.

One short season and out.

Any thoughts?

qaf, rebbot

Hi my friend I hope you're doing well.

As for that so called reboot being canceled- I've never even watched it because it had nothing to do with our show, except for the title which I thought was very annoying.

ETA:

I still believe that if they wanted a more diverse 'reboot' they should have gone with something similar to format of The Fosters which Peter so beautifully created back in 2015, adding to it the POV of some of the younger chacrters, such as Gus and JR who would now be 18 and 22 years old. But alas there were too many legal issues preventing that kind of a reboot. Plus from what Sharon Gless and other cast members said in some interviews they themselves approuched Showtime a few years ago, offering to co produce some sort of a reboot but the network bosses told them that the QaF fan base is not large enough and that it wouldn't be right to investe money in a reboot no one would be interested in. Ha! Go figure.

Do you think the door is now open for a decent QaF reboot, with our cast and our original charcter'as storylines?

Take care and stay safe

Hugs

Unfortunately, I think this failure has doomed any idea of Our Boys coming back.

I'm one of those QaF fans who don't believe in the idea of a QaF reboot in the first place tbh. I created my own post 513/AU's over the years so seeing any other version on screen would be a bit weird for me. Having said that I think the idea of having a one off reboot with our original cast,who all still look great btw, and the younger/easrly teens characters' POV (same way Ron suggested during the QaF 10 years reunion at the TV festival is Texas in 2015) might have been interesting for me to watch. ITA w/ you, though that after the newsts format failed it seems unlikley to have another version. But we can always keep the love alive regardelss.
