With all these classic shows being remade like Hawai Five-0, Charlie's Angels today, what if they tried to do the same with Diff'rent Storkes, could that work?
A white guy with two black sons doesn't seem so scanderous today like it did back than. I just don't know.
Another possible way is role reversal, (I know there was a fictional show on Family Matters that had that premese) have a black man adopt white sons and have him be played by Todd Bridges, that would be great stunt casting.
I don't know a show about racial mixed family just doesn't seem like it is breaking any barrers in 2012. Of course I say that as someone that lives in a so called blue state. A more progressive premese for today would be a gay guy adapts kids.

I think the last statistic I saw was that 1 in 7 marriages was interracial.

I do think a Full House reboot could work but instead of one dad, an uncle and his best friend. it's a woman who died who had 3 kids from 3 different men. they don't want to split the kids up so they all move into the house together to take care of them.

Actually, I think an old white man adopting young boys would be controversial now for other reasons.

I'd like to see them bring back Mr. Belvedere with Jim Ross playing the role. I also think he'd make a good Mr. Wilson if they brought back Dennis the Menace.

If they decided to remake THAT episode, for continuity's sake they should hire another WKRP cast member to play the bike shop owner. And if they remake the kidnapping episode, just go full on and use arn anderson. |

The series finale can have Mr. Drummond get paid a bunch of money in return for Willis playing football for an SEC school.

You could have an Chinese widower, raising his 3 adopted daughters (black, white, and hispanic) after his wife dies. It becomes too much, so his brother in law and best friend (native american and Japanese). Eventually, his Native American brother in law marries an Albino of indeterminate nationality. They have an Orthodox Jewish neighbor and Al roker is the grandpa

I never understood why the 'e' was missing from Different, it was like Ebonics for the sake of being blantantly Ebonics but the word still sounded the same. I dunno why it bugs me so much to this day...
