[quote] Westbrook Studios, a division of Jada Pinkett Smith and Will Smith’s Westbrook Inc., and Universal TV, which owns copyright to the original series, will serve as the studios.

The cuckoldry must have broken what was left of Smith's mind.

They can't create original dramas without using a brand? Pop will eat itself, indeed.

If the show makes to series and flops hard- I would love to see Jada have another public meltdown.

So this is a thing now? Gritty reboots of sitcoms? Can I pitch a suggestion?

"SHADY PINES" - Dark reimagining of The Golden Girls, where new resident Sophia Petrillo must deduce if the mysterious occurrences she witnesses are hallucinations from her stroke or are really evidence of a sinister conspiracy...

Who do they think would want to watch this?

Are Jaden and Willow slated to star?

No one needs this

Wow. It will be just like 'Lou Grant'!

(Except entirely unnecessary.)
