OT: TV Reboot- The Cobra Kai coming back

[LTFox14]

From TV line
The Karate Men?

YouTube Red has ordered to series Cobra Kai, a continuation of the classic 1984 film The Karate Kid, with Ralph Macchio and William Zabka on board to reprise their roles as Daniel LaRusso and Johnny Lawrence. Per The Hollywood Reporter, the 10-episode series landed at the streaming service after a bidding war with the likes of Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and AMC.
Set to premiere in 2018, Cobra Kai is described as a half-hour comedy that takes place 30 years after the All Valley Karate Tournament. A down-on-his-luck Johnny decides to reopen the Cobra Kai dojo. Meanwhile, Daniel finds himself struggling without his mentor Mr. Miyagi (the late Pat Morita). Soon enough, their onetime rivalry is reignited, and the two decide that the best way to deal with their feud is through — you guessed it — karate.

Some things are better left alone. The Karate Kid is one of them.

From the Hollywood Reporter article, "The series landed at YouTube Red following a competitive bidding process that sources say also included offers from Netflix, Amazon, Hulu and AMC after Macchio and Zabka pitched the series all over town." Youtube Red as a destination for the show doesn't match with the other players on that list. If it had wound up on Youtube TV maybe I'd be convinced it's a legitimate show, but I highly doubt Netflix, Amazon & Hulu were actively outbidding each other for this polished turd.

A comedy "where are they now" sequel for a child star turned nobody actor?

Gee, what could go wrong?

Speaking of Elizabeth Shue, I was watching the trailer for the remake of Death Wish and Ms. Shue appears.
