Hey, everybody loves Craig T. Nelson. That's a stone-cold fact. But would our admiration of the delightfully balding actor really carry audiences through an earnest revival of his long-dead series?

The answer, in short: No. No, it would not. And while NBC originally decided that picking up with the main cast (and their now adult children, as is always the case in these reboots) 18 years later was a no-brainer, they changed their mind after re-evaluating the pilot episode.

Nelson's original right-hand man, Bill Fagerbakke, was slated to return as the dim-witted, comedic foil once again, but can now go back to his full-time gig as Patrick Star, the dim-witted, comedic foil on SpongeBob SquarePants.
