45. The cast often is only as good as the writing

And the writing is the #1 thing I've found lacking with bad reboots.

Chemistry comes from working together long enough and having great material to work with, more than anything. The original WKRP cast, for instance, was a bit awkward with each other at first, but spending more time working with each other ironed out the kinks. Meanwhile, the excellence of the writing sustained them over that hump.

I think one thing that made the original WKRP and Night Court successful was that the show creators were from the worlds they were writing about. Their input, week-to-week, kept the shows grounded in their own experiences in AM radio and night court. The new writers had no real experience with what the shows were about, so they couldn't create believable story lines or dialogue.

WKRP is a good example of why that experiences matters. The show became scary good in its last season, because it had a long story arc reflecting the beginnings of that transition from mom-and-pop owned radio to corporate-controlled radio. Only someone who had worked in that business for a long time would have seen what was happening--and understood the nuances of it so well. So it was still super-funny, but it was addressing some serious and relevant issues, too.
