Why does disney think anyone still cares about turner and hooch, doogie houser, or the mighty ducks? I fucking love the mighty ducks, but come on, nobody cares about that shit anymore

Yeah, the turner and hooch thing got me too. Who asked for that? Are we getting a Splash show next?

Hospital shows are honestly some of the biggest shows on TV. Kind of a no brainer to try a reboot on this one.

Wife and I enjoyed the first 2 episodes of Turner and Hooch.
:)

Nothing amazing of course, pretty corny in areas but simple fun.
The Die Hard homage in episode 2 had me laughing.

This seems like it could be ok. I wonder if it's going to be serious or more laid back? The original was pretty serious but used the laid back buddy to remind people he was a kid.

One thing about the original that always bugged me me is that he would type at the end and then just turn the computer off with a switch... That's not saving!

Some people will watch any shit if it has the same name as something they grew up with.

The Asian female doctor is like the most common in reality so it's weird actually seeing Disney pushing the prevailing stereotype. So the race/gender bending is actually grounded.

There really hasnt been a decent medical drama since House ended. So this could work but probably not. The intro title is plain awful though.

Is it? Hollywood went from Asian characters knowing martial arts is racist to all martial artists must be Asian without skipping a beat.

So another one of those shows/movies that's just an awful remake which let's them virtue signal by changing the gender/race of the protagonist(s); got it. Seriously though, can't Hollywood come up with original ideas anymore?

Miss Douglas Kamealoha?

​

Doogie Kamealoha rolls right off the tongue. I expect a lot of kamehameha Goku as a doctor memes to pop up.

Wasn’t there a thing on Doogie houser where an older nurse a legal adult, and doogie have a thing? I dare them to do that plot line with an older male doctor and the 16 year old doctor.

From the article:
ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: Were you familiar with the original Doogie Howser?
PEYTON ELIZABETH LEE: I was not personally familiar with the original...

How is your Doogie different from the one audiences know?
One of the really cool parts about this reimagining is that we take this iconic story and bring it into the world we're living in now. So it's a female lead instead of a male, and she is biracial, and it's in Hawaii so we have this beautiful backdrop. It has nods to the original but also feels very modern.

A story so iconic the lead actress had never heard of it. I'm sure it'll be great and not end up just be another lifeless gender-swap to add to the pile.

Oh they will have no problem giving this Doogie an older female to date. 😆
