Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 'Dragnet' Catches O'Neill Alan James Frutkin OCTOBER 07, 2002 - Ed O'Neill of Married with Children fame has been cast as Joe Friday in ABC?s remake of Dragnet. The midseason series is from Law & Order producer Dick Wolf, and Universal Television. O'Neill replaces Danny Huston, who exited the drama shortly after production on the first episode wrapped Sept. 30. The show?s producers decided to recast the lead role. O'Neill's last leading role on a series was CBS's failed cop drama Big Apple. I dunno what to say. I have a feeling that Ed will always be looked upon as Al Bundy, and that will probably cause the remake to get canceled by the end of the season.
Guest kkktookmybabyaway Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Of course the question is, will the new Friday put his hand in his pants and say "hooters"...
Guest MrRant Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 I hope he does well. Long live BUNDY!
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Of course the question is, will the new Friday put his hand in his pants and say "hooters"... Eh. Its on ABC. I doubt it.
Rob E Dangerously Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 "Sgt. Friday, is it really nessessary that you watch the girls at a strip club to 'help prevent crime'?" but on the plus side, we will now know that Joe Friday scored four touchdowns in one game at Polk High.
Guest Vern Gagne Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 why was it necessary to remake Dragnet for a third time. The originial show aired in the 50's for those wondering.
Guest Nevermortal Posted October 10, 2002 Report Posted October 10, 2002 Bah, remakes of old TV shows always suck. Remember Get Smart?
Guest imajackoff? Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 They should just air the original 60's show instead. Im sure that those shows would be funnier than anything thing this new show would produce.
Guest MarvinisaLunatic Posted October 11, 2002 Report Posted October 11, 2002 ABC is a bunch of idiots anyway. They put an awesome show (Push Nevada) up against CSI and expect it to draw good ratings, and when it doesnt it gets the big cancelation, along with that other idiotic show That Was Then.
