The Honeymooners is apparently being rebooted by CBS. There's no word yet on who will star in the series, but this version will feature one of the show's main couples remarrying after divorcing.

I don't know about this. People barely remember the 2005 movie with Cedric the Entertainer.

I feel the same about this. There's a chance I might check it out if the right people end up cast in it and if the promos make it look at least a little bit funny, but I'm not exactly excited about it at this point.

I've got a bad feeling about this - and it's not my pumpkin-spiced latte.

What have we done to deserve such punishment?

I'm not a huge fan of it, which might be one of the reasons I'm feeling uncertain about this upcoming
remake of The Honeymooners. To be fair, though, I have only seen a couple of episodes of The Odd Couple, so I guess it's possible that there might be some gems in there that I missed. Have you seen a great deal of it?

No, I'm too doubtful about a lot of TV remakes to see them.

That's probably a wise move. Most TV remakes tend to be far below the quality of the original, yet I still find myself checking them out.

Here's my dream cast for a remake of The Honeymooners. This cast admittedly skews a little older, but these are people who I could see making the show work on some level if the writing was there to back them up.

Kevin James as Ralph Kramden
Courteney Cox as Alice Kramden
Ray Romano as Ed Norton
Teri Hatcher as Trixie Norton
