The press release said it will take place in the year 2020. I see this
as repeating the same mistake made by the original. When that year
comes and goes, people will point out how the future was nothing like
what was predicted.

Better to just set it "sometime in the near future", and don't pin
yourself down to a date.

As far as nameing a date for the show let me point out something that any scifi show a problem, that sooner or later, usely sooner, it will start to show it age. Look at Fordden Planet, or george Pal's War of the Worlds. Withsaying that, any movie done well will stand-out as the standard.
