Awful show alert

From Iwatchstuff, "From the Hollywood Reporter, CBS has plans to bring '80s cartoon classics Strawberry Shortcake and Care Bears back to television, allowing another generation of girls and gayish boys to celebrate animated rainbows and desserts.

The article goes on to explain that Care Bears will feature "a new take on such original characters as Cheer Bear, Funshine and Grumpy," and I'm really curious how exactly they're going to do this. I understand that Funshine was always a layered, complex character, but how many takes can you have on a character named Grumpy? His personality seems pretty set in stone."

Maybe what they'll do is a prequel, and we can find out that question we've all not been asking, ever. "Why is Grumpy so grumpy?"

I mean, perhaps he was called something else more positive before the name-defining trauma. Like "Humpy."
