@zanyzap -- I'd consider myself in the middle of this issue. I won't thumb up or thumb down until I see a trailer/episode.

AMC has some really good series. I'm not against the idea, although @ejk1 has a point.

How about Pileggi coming up with a brand new idea, instead of trying to get more milk out of his old cow?

As long as they aren't remaking the classic I don't completely hate the idea. But I still say they should leave it alone.
