THE A-TEAM GETS ANOTHER REBOOT

The A-TEAM

The A-Team is the latest TV show to get a reboot according to Bleeding Cool (read the article here). Chris Morgan who wrote and produced Fast and Furious has a new take on the classic series which includes switching some of the gender roles.

Back in 2010 a movie based on the tv show was released and starred Liam Neeson and Rampage Jackson.

In this era of superheroes, the A-Team is a perfect show to reboot. As a child of the 80's I am anxious to see what changes will be made. Hopefully it will go over better than the Knight Rider reboot that came on NBC in 2008.

R.I.P. JACK LARSON

Jack Larson as Jimmy Olsen

Jack Larson who played Jimmy Olsen in the 50's series "The Adventures of Superman" died yesterday at the age of 87 according to TV Line (read the article here).

I first saw Mr. Larson on TV in the late 80's hosting an Adventures of Superman marathon on Channel 9 WWOR-TV during Thanksgiving. At the time I didn't know about the 50's TV show having only seen the Christopher Reeve "Superman" films.

Mr. Larson played Jimmy as an earnest young man who often got into trouble and needed Superman's assistance.

Now as superheroes are common place in pop culture I wanted to say "Thank You" to Mr. Larson for his contribution and being a pioneer in the genre.
