If you're still not convinced of the necessity of the remake, you'll want to take Tim Curry's word for it. The original Dr. Frank-N-Furter, who plays the Narrator in the remake, said at the show's Television Critics Association summer press tour panel that he did "indeed" give the new version his unconditional endorsement.

"It was fun though to do it again," he said. "I actually offered myself as Dr. Scott because I was already in a wheelchair," the actor, who suffered a stroke in 2012, joked, but "they thought narrator was a better fit. I enjoyed it a lot."

Fox's reimagining of the cult classic stars Laverne Cox as Dr. Frank-n-Furter, Justice as Janet, Ryan McCartan as Brad, Reeve Carney as Riff Raff, Christina Milian as Magenta, Annaleigh Ashford as Columbia, Staz Nair as Rocky, Adam Lambert as Eddie, and Ben Vereen as Dr. Scott.
