Well, it turns out that they are rebooting Agatha Christie's "Miss Marple" franchise with Jennifer Garner in the title role, so says the People. Okay, even saying "Miss Marple franchise" leaves a weird taste in my mouth. Do we need to do this? I mean, it could rock. Look at Sherlock Holmes
with Robert Downey, Jr. except of course I trust the dude who did Chaplin
much more than I trust the girl from Alias
, and I liked that show.

Because we started with classic lit, let's hang out there for a bit. Who wants to see hunky werewolf boy Taylor Latner as The Man of La Mancha
, Don Quixote? We can call it "El Dude from La Valley." Ooo, or how about Megan Fox as Anna Karenina
, or shall we call it "Annie Karen"? Nope, I got it. Vanessa Hudgens from High School Musical
as the title character in "Madam Bovary: The Musical." Beware falling box office records, cause we gonna smash 'um.

with Clint Eastwood? How about we have a prequel called "Totes Forgiven" staring Robert Pattinson as a young William Munny. The George Burns classic comedy Oh, God!
is an easy fit for Dustin Diamond from Saved by the Bell called "Holy Crap!" Hell, we could have a new young Indiana Jones, too. All we have to do is call up Shia Labeouf... Wait just one damn minute.

The first up is easy, barely have to change the name: "The Beverly Hills-billies" starring those morons from The Hills 
over on MTV. Get the gang back together. Next is another given: We bring back the power duo of Zac Effron and Vanessa Hudgens (after her run as Madame Bovary, of course) as Archie and Edith Bunker
to star in "All in the Family: The College Years." Cannot wait to see how they ruin that classic title song. Finally, Andy Griffith may have been a feisty, homespun lawyer Matlock
that everyone loved and respected, but his nephew has come into town to shake up the family business. I give you Justin Beiber as "Matt Pop-n-Lock."
