The sound of one hand clapping?
What all the remakes say is that there is a sad lack of imagination in the world when shows such as these have to be remade.

Ezz, I do read music. In fact I read it alot better than I play it.
It's really not that hard to learn and you will be doing yourself a huge favor if you do.
I'm sure there are any number of sites that can help you out.
Anyone know a good one?
Loki, I think you'd better run faster.
fNi is gaining on you!

Ah, I get you. Didn't get the title in there.
Sorry, but I'm a bit OCD when it comes to accuracy in writing, and such. I'm by no means perfect at it myself, but I was raised by a English-Lit teacher, (my mother) so it was kind of drilled into my head as much as she could possibly manage.
Keep with it, Ezz. Practice makes perfect.
Right?
