The original MTS is shown at 5:30 am on MeTV, so you must be woke to see it. In the reboot, Steve Douglas is played by Willem Dafoe, an aging star deigning to do TV for a huge paycheck. In the reboot, Steve is a serial killer who disappears:
- His first wife
- His live in father-in-law, Bub, who is the only mother figure his trio of trixic sons have ever known
- His oldest son, Mike and first daughter-in-law Sally
- The parents of his adopted replacement for Mike
- Second (then first) son Robbie
- Tramp the dog. Controversially eaten in a classic “mix-up” episode when family thinks they’re trying a new delicacy cooked by the horrible Korean stereotype character that moves in next door.
So basically the reboot is exactly like the original.
