    The revival was really disappointing. I only watched a couple of episodes and I was very underwhelmed. Also, Tress MacNeille can’t quite do Dot’s voice anymore.

      people REALLY need to learn to let things go. i get it, nostalgia is a powerful thing. that doesn’t mean every show needs a revival.

      the thing about nostalgia, is you don’t actually want that thing back. what you want back is how that thing made you feel.

      No person can step in the same river twice. They are not the same person, and it is not the same river.

        They’re sitting on IP that isn’t making money. Can’t have that. That’s why everything is getting a revival, or a reboot.

      The Warner’s voices were pitched up a bit in post for the original show and they didn’t do that for the revival, which is at least part of why the three all sound off.

        That was probably part of it, but her voice was more off than not being pitched up. I mean I’m not surprised she doesn’t quite remember how to do a voice she last did decades ago. But the bigger problem is it just wasn’t very funny.
