There's some promise with original producers and creator returning. Just hope they stick around.

The project is still in the pilot phase, and there's no word who will fill the Vincent role. This new outing will include some old faces behind the scenes, however. Paul Junger Witt and Tony Thomas are both back as producers, and series creator Ron Koslow is in at executive producer, according to Entertainment Weekly. They will be joined by new producers Bill Haber, Jennifer Levin and Sherri Cooper.

Kristin Kreuk is attractive, but "beautiful"?

I don't mind Kristin -she's ok, but from the pilot details I've read (see thread: Reboot Update Disappointing) it sounds really awful -Unless they do A LOT of re-writes I don't hold out much hope - I'm trying to resign myself to this reboot being just a B&B themed show apart from 'ours'

i'm going to give it a chance. it will never be a classic and the new vincent will never be as well regarded as ron (to be honest, no one will ever be able to top his performance) but lets just try to enjoy it
