Piggybacking on the success of their their 2015 Odd Couple reboot starring Matthew Perry, CBS has ordered a pilot script for a reboot of The Honeymooners, which starred Jackie Gleason and Art Carney and originally aired between 1955 and 1956.
Bob Kushell will write the script for the reboot pilot. Mr Kushell most recently served as co-creator on The Muppets during its one-season run on ABC, and he was a writer on such series as 3rd Rock from the Sun, Malcolm in the Middle, American Dad, and The Simpsons.
It is not yet clear how idiomatic the reboot characters' threats will be relative to those of the original characters or whether there will be any explicit threats at all.
How long does it take to watch every episode of The Honeymooners?
