They're remaking Swiss Family Robinson!

Not really much in the way of details yet, but as long as they either 1) get rid of Roberta's character altogether or 2) at least write her as far less insipid and for pity's sake cut out the brothers acting like she's a fragile delicate twee thing as soon as they discover she's a girl, I will be the happiest camper in the world. ((yes, I know it was made a while back and I try to make some concessions for that, but when it's that obvious? Bleh))

Which reminds me, I need to find a copy of the book for Kaylee and the May Baby.

Geeze, isn't this like the third remake of that movie? I know there's another one that's more modern day-ish with Jane Seymour, although that's called The NEW Swiss Family Robinson, that came out in the 90's so I suppose they can get away with doing a remake. That's the only version of it I've ever seen, I think.

Hm, don't think I've ever seen the one with Jane Seymour. Might have to look that up. The 1960 version is the one I basically grew up on.

They've played it once or twice on ABC Family, which is the only reason I've seen it. I never read the book or anything growing up, so I never had any interest in watching or reading it otherwise. The one with Jane Seymour is pretty good, but I'm saying that as someone who's only seen that version and hasn't read the book or anything, so I can't -really- judge.
