Here’s the promo: Jenny is your average teenage girl, with one giant secret: she’s a robot. I’m going to be perfectly honest: I have never watched this show, so everything I say from here on out is based entirely upon the fact that the show is about a teenage robot named Jenny. …Oh fuck, this is just Scooby Doo! Mystery Incorporated, isn’t it? Both of these are treated as exactly the same level of importance. The stakes are high: try to avoid getting murdered and hope Velma gets admitted to Harvard. Fred and Daphne have an incredibly drawn out will-they-won’t-they romance that gets annoying the second time they break up. They somehow manage to work what is essentially a full-time job while also applying to college, but you never actually see them in class. The Scooby Gang isn’t a group of kids running around after ghost stories they have their own Private Eye business, complete with an actual office leased under Fred’s dad’s name (without his knowledge) all while living the lives of normal highschoolers who are played by thirty year olds. There’s old legends that seem like they may be real, secrets whispered under breath, and a hell of a lot of crime where the criminals dress up like ghosts while committing tax fraud. …Wait, what do you mean they’re making a live-action Clifford?
The CW’s worked with less plausible material before. I Don’t know how they manage to stay hidden but they do.
She figures out how to free him and now they’re on the run from the law - girl and giant, giant dog. Emily Elizabeth is the sweet pre-teen daughter of a scientist who finds out that her father has been involved in some shady shit and then befriends the big dog. Well, what if the dog wasn’t big because of magic, or whatever reason Clifford gives, but because he’s actually the result of illegal genetic experiments. The story of a girl and her massive, massive dog.
I thought since the CW found such a “good” niche they might want some help for ideas of other classic – mainly children’s – shows they can make a reboot of.Ĭlifford.
They just added to their list of edgy, gritty reboots with the upcoming… live-action Powerpuff Girls TV show? Really? Who needs that? The channel’s current crowning glory is Riverdale, a show that is so insane I forget it’s real sometimes. What is edge? Well, usually… more of teenagers having way too detailed and way too crazy sex. Listen, we all know what kind of shows the CW makes: Confusing, far too sexual teen shows with edge.
