If it’s not broken, why try to fix it?
A lot of fans have a major bone to pick with ABC’s new TV musical version of the beloved 1987 classic movie “Dirty Dancing,” which originally starred Patrick Swayze and Jennifer Grey. Wednesday night’s remake, featuring Colt Prattes and Abigail Breslin, had people airing complaints on Twitter, and the results are nothing short of hilarious.
Some viewers thought up ways other remakes could ruin an original. “Titanic remake: Jack lives!!!” one user tweeted. Others were nearly speechless, simply saying that ABC’s version was the “worst remake ever.”
Here are some of the funniest reactions to the remake:

Everyone on my timeline is asking why ABC didn't cast better dancers.

I'd like to state for the record that I feel personally offended and victimized by the Dirty Dancing remake #DirtyDancing
