Idea for a Reboot of this Series - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Okay, the setting would be 25 years after the point where the original series left off, I'm thinking Allison Janney for the role of Gina, and maybe Ryan Stiles for Drew.

Anyway, 25 years later, after a long succession of pretty-boy boyfriends bleed Valley Hills into insolvency, Gina discovers that Drew is running for Governor of Idaho, and miraculously finds the courage at long last to tell her story about how after selflessly giving one kidney to save Drew's life, he used and abused her, before casting her aside, a broken woman.

After initial contact in which Gina threatens to expose Drew and cast his political ambitions to the rocks, the basic dynamics of the show settle into Drew, now married with a family, actually wanting to help her despite the threat to his own ambitions. Punctuated, of course, by Gina's belief that if she just squeezes a little harder, Drew's "generosity" will be assured.

I think such a show would be very popular.

I think that the clash between Gina believing that squeezing harder will get her more juice, in conflict with Drew fearing risks to his own well being due to that squeezing, ultimately being a barrier to how generous Drew can become....has a LOT of comedic potential.

AKA: why cant you just shut up and let me help you, and not drag EVERY step of this into a public spectacle?

And, of course, any of the Valley Hills residents who could testify that the rejection between the couple was 180 degrees opposite of what Gina now claims, are no longer of this earth
