David Schwimmer Wants A "All Black" Reboot Of Friends To Be Created

[ColdSlither]

A reboot of Friends, but with an all black cast isn't needed. Because one, that is Living Single!!!!!!! Two, doing that with a reboot, will only have it being compared with the original show. Just come up with a new sitcom instead. As someone who watch both Living Single and Friends, that's what I would much rather see. Plus, doing a Friends reboot just reinforces that Hollywood is bankrupt of ideas, and can't do anything without some member berry juice.

I always thought Friends was jacking Seinfeld more than anything else.

well when you think about what fox was on.
Plus the origin of married with children.
plus the fact that everything that draws.
was ripped off that black writer who made terminator, matrix etc.

I look at it as misappropriation just done really well.

why does it have to be a remake? Why can’t they make a show with 6 black characters? Ross has no creativity, he should stick to dusting bones

People are mad because this is another example of a White person "Columbus-ing" something that already exists to act like they discovered it. Even though it actually predated what they did.

It's like Justin Timberlake saying we need a Black version of N'Sync or New Kids On The Block....as if they weren't based on New Edition.

A black Friends in 2020? Nah Im cool

All the male characters would be gay and all the women would be swirlers... Yall trust today's hollyweird to hook us up with some piff?

i hate reboots...they never last, and they will always be compared and fall short of the originals...

but these types of live audience sitcoms are over...the novelty and nostalgia lasts about half a season...and people don't care anymore.

Fam. Over half the people outraged ain’t even know or think Friends was some damn white Living Single. It honestly is NOT. Even if there was an influence there. The show is VERY different. It’s not like Living Single was some completely original concept. That shyt was influenced by shows before it as well.
