The "Ferris Bueller" series was only about half a season long, iirc. Everyone was too busy watching "Parker Lewis" to really notice.
But where's the suspense? We know they're going to get together and I highly doubt that the new actors will offer a more interesting take on the characters than the originals.
Well, if I ran the circus, this is how I would do it:
1) Start the the "10 Things" series after the end of the movie, like BtVS. Otherwise, yes. Why bother? You're dooming yourself before you even start.
1) Watch every movie version ever made. Take copious notes.
2) It's been a while since I saw "10 Things," but in the remake, I'm pretty sure the two romantic leads are only dating. Also, it's not the Renaissance. This can lead to no end of problems.
3) Go back to the Shakespeare play; take a long and squinty-eyed look at everything. Find dangling plot threads, especially involving characters who are not Katrina or Petrucchio.
4) Go to the library, pick up every edition of the play, and read only the footnotes.
