“Every article mentions the ‘original’ actors by name. So why not just reboot Paul and me—as a couple of old farts solving piddly-ass crimes at the assisted living facility where we would now live? Who can do Starsky and Hutch better than him and me?”
The tweet received a whopping 34k likes, with some big names showing allegiance. One of those names was “Wonder Woman” actress Lynda Carter, who responded, “I’d watch this.”
I’d watch this.
