Which reboot would work best: Cosby Show or A Different World?

Lets pretend that Bill Cosby wasnt the cretin that he is and hes the lovely man we wanted him to be. Which show is the most prime for a reboot? Im asking this because Im over Roseanne's trumpkin as reboot ads.

They could do an excellent reboot of A Different World, but it would have to be on par or better than Dear White People.

And really, what would they do with Cosby. Make it about a perfect TV dad who's actually a serial rapist? It would be an improvement over the original show, but doesn't really seem like a TV series--more like a season of American Crime Story.

Well, there is a new show that seems to be modeled after A Different World. The show Blackish is spinning off Grownish, which depicts the adventures of the oldest daughter at college.

The Cosby Show, but it would have to be without Cosby or his character Cliff Huxtable. It would just be Claire offering stern rejoinders to the children about answering the phone properly and not bringing food into the living room.

Cosby wouldn't work as it was too un-PC in its efforts to be PC.

A Different World would only work if they went back to year one with the white girl and Millie

They should just reboot Family Matters. They already rebooted Full House and Boy Meets World. Why not continue their TGIF lineup.

If they rebooted Different World, they could get Rachel Dolezal as the first transracial dean of students at Hillman.

I would personally love to see a reboot of Cheers.

One of Rudy's friends disrupted the trial today.

That would be a good episode for the reboot..

The Cosby Show. With Bill Cosby as this loveable doctor dad by day and a serial rapist by night. Enter Dexter Morgan, who left his retirement in the Pacific Northwest in order to deal with this...

The Rudy Show owns this thread.

Dr. Huxtable was a gynecologist.

His office was in the basement.

From a practical standpoint, it would be easier to re-assemble the cast of the Cosby Show (none of them are doing anything too time-consuming), than it would be trying to get Marisa Tomei (multiple nominated movie star) and Kookie Jasmin Guy (who originally was a woman in her late twenties playing a teen, but now looks like the grandmother that she is) to agree to do the project.

I would rather see a reality show about Jasmine Guy's house, since apparently a lot of drama happens outside it.
