I got excited when I read the title, then I read the article and I became less excited. They're totally going to use modern storylines that wouldn't have happened in the 50's. They're going to use every race and creed under the sun in order to be inclusive... which we know is exactly what the 50's was.

I'm not interested in this, but I absolutely hate this line. People don't ask for stuff that turns out worth it all the time.

If it was about demographic research wouldnt that mean someone literally DID ask for this?

Did anyone ask for Wednesday? It ended up being one of the better shows that Netflix produced this year. This kind of thought process is so asinine in my opinion. If you don’t like something that’s being produced or that’s on tv, just don’t watch it lol. You don’t have to complain about everything that bothers you.

People have been wanting a new live-action Addams Family for years, and people really liked the "adult Wednesday Addams" series on youtube and wanted it to be adopted by a network, so yeah people have been asking for it.

I'm not saying they didn't do any research, I'm saying that research would tell them more broad things and that combined with a pitch, combined with the feeling that IP is what sells things is how you end with this show.

Yes we all know that every single aspect of entertainment has always gone through extensive market research beforehand. I know plenty of people were definitely clamoring for a workplace comedy about an SNL-style show according to market research. People should only ever make shows after years and years of census taking to decide if a show is worth making.
