Reboot - General Discussion

[MisterGlass]

Good for Hannah for being a person with integrity.  I agree the executive probably would have made their lives miserable for as long as Gordon was involved, but he could have tried not being a jerk.  He is 60% selfless for quitting.

I am surprisingly invested in Clay.  He's more earnest than I was expecting.

I binged the series today. I enjoyed it. I liked all the actors (even the Gen Z writers, whom I thought humorless at their first introduction).

Someone mentioned the set-up reminded them of "Just Shoot Me." I agree -- it's one of my favorite sitcoms -- but just as in that show, the father-daughter conflict is pretty much resolved in the first episode.

I think it's only the series "Step Right Up" that's supposed to be darker and edgier, not "Reboot." I have no problem that's it's just a "standard" sitcom. I like how the episodes focus on different characters and show some poignant moments between them.

The basketball game made me laugh out loud, from the old sitcom trash talk to Reed's domination on the court and his apologies to the players, when it finally got to him. 

It was driving me crazy where I remembered Calum Worthy from. He was Dez on the Disney sitcom "Austin & Ally." He played Austin's best friend (and with a homoerotic undertone, I always thought). I like that Zack isn't as dumb as they initially made him out to be.

Is it wrong that I think Johnny Knoxville has become a hot daddy?

I think that was the point. That's why Gordon brought in Selma et al. Everyone really opened up for the better. Even the quiet one cracked "If I get a black and white cookie is it going to be a whole racial thing?" to Hannah.

In case any Hulu audience research execs are following this thread, I'm begging you for a S2! Reboot for me was the most consistently funny sitcom (well, "sitcom") I've seen in a good while. And with a murderers' row of comic actors to boot. More, pleaseandthankyou!

I really love them all but the standout for me was Rose Abdoo as Selma.

She also plays Jean Smart's housekeeper in Hacks.

When does Hulu make these kinds of announements, does anyone know? Do they have a schedule, or a pattern of some kind, or is it the kind of thing where it will be a total surprise when they announce it?

Kimia Behpoornia who plays Azmina was also on Hacks, albeit only 1 episode.

I didn’t even recognize Rose Abdoo in this.

I’m just tickled by these real world echoes.

UPI:

Quote

Mayan Lopez says her new sitcom, Lopez vs. Lopez, was inspired by her real-life estrangement and reunion with her dad, comedian George Lopez.

Page Six today:

Quote

Julie Bowen said she once fell in love with a woman — despite describing herself as heterosexual.

(Oh, and I just realized Reboot series creator Steven Levitan worked with Julie Bowen on Modern Family.)

[AntFTW]

I expected 10 episodes. I watched episode 8 when it became available but I didn't realize that was the season finale. They left me wanting more so SEASON TWO PLEASEEE!!! 😬

Judy Greer is 47, she’s just fantastically youthful. 

She seems to have had some work done since her last project.  From some angles, her face is nearly unrecognizable.

Well this is disappointing. Really loved this little show.

As far as I know, Single Drunk Female Season 2 is airing on April 12, 2023 at 10 pm on Freeform. It will be 10 episodes. Unless you know something I don't.

Given the cast, I was hoping for better than the show turned out to be. Not great, not terrible, just kinda there. I hope Rachel's followup is better.

You're right i had bad info.  

[luna1122again]

I am so sad.

Cast says they hadn't heard anything from Hulu for a bit so they were sort of expecting bad news, but it's still a shock. And of course the studio is shopping it around in case any other network or streamer might pick it up.
