Jordan Peele To Executive Produce CBS 'The Twilight Zone' Reboot (engadget.com)

A couple of weeks ago, CBS CEO Leslie Moonves revealed that the network was planning to reboot the classic fantasy science-fiction TV series "The Twilight Zone." Few details about the show were available at that time, but we have now learned that Jordan Peele, director of the mystery/thriller Get Out, will co-executive produce the show. Engadget reports: The show will be produced by CBS Television Studios, with Simon Kinberg, Marco Ramirez, Win Rosenfeld and Audrey Chon also executive producing. Peele, Kinberg and Ramirez will collaborate on the premiere episode. "Too many times this year it's felt we were living in a twilight zone, and I can't think of a better moment to reintroduce it to modern audiences," Peele said in a statement.

First of all, yet another re-clone of a series that already has been resurrected how many times? Just stop doing the repeats, OK? Make something new, goddammit.

"Too many times this year it's felt we were living in a twilight zone, and I can't think of a better moment to reintroduce it to modern audiences," Peele said in a statement.

Oh, so the series is going to be a bunch of thinly veiled Trump-bashing episodes. As if THAT genre isn't being thoroughly covered at the moment. I'll say this, the amount of emotional pain being felt by people just because their favorite career politician didn't win one election is really something to see. All of these outbursts in public, agitated beyond belief, I would not have really believed it was possible, particularly among erudite people with advanced educational credentials. I was assured so often that temper tantrums like this were the mark of a low IQ or lack of education, by the same people who are now acting out.

We already went through this, too: remember Chimpy McBu$hitler? King George Bush the Second, who was as bad as Hitler? Trump doesn't even compare, he just recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel. WORST. HITLER. EVER.
