Why Sitcom Revivals Rarely Work Today

Today on The Remnant Jonah Goldberg indulges two of his favorite hobbies: competing in TV nerdery with John Podhoretz (grand poohbah of Commentary) and bashing the Straussians. John and Jonah cover the Claremont Institute, the decline of TV and cinema, Death by Lightning, and Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
