I dunno. This has the makings of a disaster even if I did enjoy Coach back in the day and often hold it up as one of the most underappreciated sitcoms of that era.

If Girl Meets World can do it, Coach can do it too and succeed, I'm hoping.

I don't know it sounds like it might work.

Boy Meets World has held up a lot better than Coach, which hasn't been syndicated in like 10 years now and hasn't even fully been released on DVD because of low interest. Of all of the sitcoms to reboot, I'm confused as to why they chose this one.

it was on briefly 3-4 years ago on Realz.

It's also on Netflix which helps its cause, but still, it seems like a pretty random choice. Especially considering it didn't originally air on NBC!

how does that matter? THE ODD COUPLE didn't air on CBS originally.

Both Coach and the original 1970 version of The Odd Couple originally aired on the American Broadcasting Company (ABC) Network. The revival versions of the series do not, because the production company of the original series now happen to be under common ownership of a competing network.

Don't you think you're complicating things by asking "how things matter"? The truth is, it's not right to pretend that an old show produced by a production company aired on a network that owns both the program and the production company today rather than the network that originally aired it. You can't deny that the show aired on a network other than the one that currently owns it.

Also, this according to Deadline:

Quote:

I hear all four major broadcast networks lined up to hear the pitch, which was taken out to NBC first because of its ties to Uni TV. I hear the network went aggressively after the comedy, buying it pre-emptively with a 13-episode on-air commitment.

So NBC just kinda jumped the gun and won't let ABC (Coach's original network) have a chance at the revival?

Lets' just give it a try. The revival of The Odd Couple is working.

Coach was on some cable channel last weekend. VH1 Classic, I think. I've seen it on some other channel besides Reelz in recent years, but I can't remember what channel it was.

I never thought Coach was that funny of a show... It was IMHO always kind of boring. I don't get all the love for this show. There are many other shows much more suited for a revamp.

I wasn't a mega-fan of Coach, but I'd give the reboot a chance.

All of these reboots remind me of the 80s reboots like The New Gidget, The New WKRP in in Cincinnati, and What's Happenning Now!!
