Buzz In: Which Movie Series and Franchises Should Just End?

BuzzSugar — Tue, 18 Nov 2008 16:30:12 -0800

If you were feeling an emptiness in your life that only the Nutty Professor could fill, well today's your lucky day: A third installment of that kooky prof's story is in the works.

In other sequel news, apparently theaters will be filled with the pitter-patter of little Focker feet when a third Meet the Parents/Fockers film comes out (now with Blythe Danner and Robert deNiro confirmed), which naturally will deal with the hiccups and burbles of parenthood with such zany grandparents.

I like both Meet the Parents and Meet the Fockers, but not so much that I think they needed to reproduce. I also think the Spider-Man movies starring Tobey Maguire have probably run their course. Do you think yet another Indiana Jones movie is a good idea? What other series of films do you think should just stop now?

The Results Are In: Recast "Family Matters"

Every Wednesday on BuzzSugar, I post a Recast challenge, where I ask you to choose new actors for a classic TV show or movie. The reader who submits the best cast wins a BuzzSugar t-shirt!

It's true, "Family Matters" is one of those shows that is difficult to recast, since the performances - especially that of Steve Urkel - have become so iconic. I really liked some of the suggestions put forth by everyone this week, though, like La-Ma's idea of Wanda Sykes playing Harriette Winslow and mrspiven's suggestion of Eddie Murphy dressing in drag to play Mother Winslow (a la The Nutty Professor).

Yet my favorite list this week comes from laneylaney. I like it mostly because without even seeing this cast in action they're making me laugh. To see who laneylaney picked along with a new cast photo, read more

laneylaney's cast:
Harriett Winslow - Chandra Wilson
Carl Winslow - Tracy Morgan
Eddie Winslow - Chris Brown
Laura Winslow - Keke Palmer
Rachel Crawford - Tyra Banks
Richie Crawford - Brandon Ratliff
Mother Winslow - Irma P. Hall
Steve Urkel - Jeremy Suarez
