semid4lyfe: Bad idea. . .what is it returning for?

TV programming have evolved beyond Dramas like The Village Headmaster. As much as I enjoyed and liked it then, I won't be watching this re-boot/re-run even with the new episodes.

Also, times have changed, people have grown and matured, are more exposed and their world-views are different so I doubt they'll enjoy it much. Also take into cognisance the influx of Satellite TV, the Mexican Telenovellas, Reality TV/Game shows and foreign TV series.

Some programmes e.g The New Masquerade, Bassey & Company, Things Fall Apart, Cock Crow at Dawn, Jaguar Nana etc are better left in the past so we can cherish the good memories we have of them.

I enjoyed all these programmes on TV back in the 90's but me watch them now?. . .MBA o!

_{Meanwhile Suits Season 2 is back. . .anyone watching?}

Yeah it's very risky but I'm curious to see what they come back with. Not every TV show should reflect our current state or lifestlye, other countries still produce TV shows set in different times so why should this be any different? Why are they better left in the past? Shouldn't the later generation watch/enjoy what TV was like in the 80s and 90s and also judge the extent of growth in the entertainment industry?

Which later generation? This sophisticated but fast-paced, impatient, short-attention span generation with their high-tech gadgets, internet, instant-chat, SMS lingo etc that doesn't read and is so easily bored? Biko, talk something else jare. . .

The programme will be like punishment to them . The only peeps who'll stand the programme for even 5 minutes are people who watched it growing up/in the past and they'll be doing so for purely sentimental reasons.

In fact just remain a robot and stop commenting jor

You're sure this is what you really want? I ask cos I could very easily grant your request. . .

Okiki_Oluwa: felt the same way when I watched Samanja recently. The picture quality & acting skills of its characters are now archaic. Things like this are better left for the past & lets cherish their memories.

Very true!

I saw an episode of Some Mothers Do Have 'Em not too long ago and I was so irritated by Frank Spencer's stupidity and I was like WTF!

You wouldn't believe this programme cracked me up so much back then and I absolutely loved it but then I realised what the problem was - 1. comedy has evolved from "acting stupid" to "talking funny". . .u know saying something with a funny punchline and 2. I'm more mature, better exposed and I've gotten more critical over the years.

Anaphylaxis: @ Chimsky . "Rooster crow at dawn " ? I used to think it was cock crow. Any way I get your point.
