Can you believe it's been 22 years since What I Like About You first aired?! (22 years, 1 month, 13 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did What I Like About You end?
When What I Like About You came to an end after 4 years in March 2006, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Holly Tyler (Amanda Bynes) and Val Tyler (Jennie Garth). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a What I Like About You reunion disappoint people?
What I Like About You aired from 2002-2006 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Bynes said she's not sure if What I Like About You would work today. “I don't want to see old Holly Tyler,” she told a journalist (Bynes turned 38 in April). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a What I Like About You movie?
In a recent interview, Wesley Jonathan (who played Gary Thorpe) said he can't imagine a What I Like About You reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Simon Rex (who played Jeff between 2002 and 2003) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a What I Like About You movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a What I Like About You film, Jennie Garth stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a What I Like About You reboot?
Recasting What I Like About You for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a What I Like About You reunion, a What I Like About You movie, or a What I Like About You reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
