Can they just end the show now?!
If you're not watching it anymore why do you care?
In other words, I don't like this show, I don't agree with what they're doing so I want it cancelled. I don't care if anyone else is watching, I don't give a damn about the viewers having fun with the show. It's all about what I want.
I really don't understand why people ask for cancellation of something they don't care, they don't watch.
I wouldn't call for it to be cancelled. I just stopped watching.
what they are doing with Adam currently intrigues me and has me watching, so I would not want it cancelled.
I gave up on Peach Dynasty being anything like the original and accept it for what it is.
I've found this conversation quite fascinating. Something curious happens with remakes, reboots and sequels that brings out a unique passion in people and polarises like nothing else.
First a caveat: I haven't watched a full episode of the rebooted
Dynasty. I too decided it wasn't for me. But I've enjoyed following the discussion in this forum, watching the odd clip here and there and
@Daniel Avery's episode recaps.
But just to play Devil's Advocate, I can understand where the OP is coming from. Attached to reviving any kind of project - whether rebooting a TV series, covering a song or remaking a film - there's the risk of diluting or even tainting a product that people have invested in. Not that
Dynasty is
necessarily doing this
(*takes a moment to straighten face*) but when a product is marketed - even partially - on brand recognition, there will be an existing market for that product who have their own idea of what it looks like. For this and numerous other reasons, I tend to fall into the school of "let sleeping dogs lie".
Of the series in this genre, I'd say I'm most invested in
Knots Landing. There's a certain - almost indefinable - something that the name conjures up that, more often than not, speaks to me just a little more than another name might. With that degree of investment comes something else. "Ownership" is a little strong, but there's a special something attached to my overall journey with this particular product that feels like I have a stake in it. The reality, of course is that I'm simply one of many millions of consumers the product has reached, and one of several thousands to remain loyal to it. But logic and fandom are rarely good bedfellows.
When
Dallas was revived and there was talk of
Knots characters appearing, I found myself feeling a little uncomfortable. There was a sense that if
Knots was revived it may not speak to me in the same way. And could ultimately foul the nest and even somehow mar my enjoyment of the original (logic vs. fandom again). And in this case it was reinforced by Gary and Val's appearances in the new
Dallas. Overall I didn't care for the treatment of these characters in the new series and it bothered me more than it did Ray and Lucy getting a cough and a spit. Simply put, if fans were inexplicably asked to vote on reviving the series or not I'd almost certainly have voted no. And that would be true for an overwhelming majority of series I've followed.
So not only can I understand both points of view here, but the scales move in both directions for me. There's the logical, objective adult part that says if someone enjoys it then what's the harm. Then there's the less objective twelve year old fan who breathed a rather large sigh of relief when the mooted
Return To Eden revival fell through.
