    Yeah, don't worry about "faking suicides for seasons." With those two as showrunners it won't make ONE season. Only in Hollywood could someone say that a remake is fresh and original idea with a straight face.

    The fucking fuck?! Nothing is sacred. Nothing at all. I mean is Gossip Girl really so illustrious that short of copying that show and calling it Rumor Chick (which is not nearly as lame as this), "originality be damned" nonsense it's better to trot out every teen based movie/show from twenty years ago to try and capture some Gossip Girl dregs of win? Total and complete Hollywood ass-faces!

    I have an idea. Ooo, it's controversial...why not hire some decent writers (which apparently went to ground after Friends and Seinfeld ended) and come up with new shit?

    How fucking lazy can you be? More to the point, if you want to be jerks, hire me. I'd like several million for researching imdb.com all day. Lookee here, I can sell you Splash for CBS, Weekend at Bernie's for ABC, and Soul Man for NBC. Black face is kinda happening now, right? Fucks.

    And also I can't believe no one at all said this yet:CORRRRRNNNNNUTTTTS!!!

    I have a horrible feeling it will turn into a weird Gossip Girl/Mean Girls television mashup.

    Yet again the remakers miss the point. It was the execution, not the basic idea, that made Heathers work. If they could get someone like Rob Thomas to make it, it might have a chance. They won't even try, though.

    As I was walking my dog here in LA yesterday past ads for Melrose Place and 90210, the thought popped into my head..."Why can't they come up with NEW tv shows anymore?"
    And now this? HEATHERS?!
    Sacrilege.
    Anyone old enough to know the movie is probably not going to be watching a tv show based on it on Fox.
    Why can't they just come up with NEW concepts, is it really that hard?

    Seriously? On network television? This is why I only watch Food Network and Comedy Central. Ok, and House.

    The Vassar College Croquet Club is either gonna be overjoyed or pissed off. And you wouldn't like them when they're pissed off. In fact, you wouldn't like them when they're overjoyed either.

    @Lymed: Hey now. Mean Girls may have gotten inspiration from Heathers, but it was also based on a book written about National Cathedral School in DC.

    Yeah, that's right. DC Private Schools: we got the Obamas, and Mean Girls!

    @thegreatfratsby: It was more a comment on a generation that knows nothing about Heathers. I had a younger friend who loved Jawbreaker and had never heard of Heathers. It brought out the sad in me.

    But knowing that Mean Girls is based on DC brings out the happy in me.

    "We had the title, and talked about doing a film remake at times, but doing it for TV seemed like a fresh and original idea."

    I think Mr. Lucchesi has been misinformed as to the meaning of 'original'.
