Whats old is new again.
Hollywood has always had an affinity for the familiar.
Every summer we are assaulted with sequels, spin-offs, and remakes at the box office.

And television has always been a breeding ground for remakes and adaptations of feature films.
Enlightenedwas never a ratings juggernaut for HBO.
But the people that watchedEnlightenedLOVEDEnlightened.
It was a quirky comedy that refused to be pigeonholed and was equal parts uplifting and heartbreaking.
A lot of people simply didnt get it back then.
So what about it, Mike?
But I dont know.
There was a lot of pain with the ending.
Its like going into an old relationship where youre like… lets do something new.
I may do something and work with HBO again, but I dont know about another season ofEnlightened.
Thats a familiar feeling.
One day it would be nice to have the huzza happening in real time.
I honestly think I just create confusion, laughs White.
I create confusion wherever I go.
People recognize my face, but then I get a lot of, like, Are you from Indiana?
Or Did you go to this high school?
And so its just one awkward encounter after the next.
One awkward encounter after the next?
Sounds a little like an episode ofEnlightened.
