Considering that the original material was a radio play with a running time of under 3 hours, seems to me that it should have been pretty easy to fit into a 2 hour film, c.f. the film-maker's usual problem of condensing a 600 page novel...
I think the real problem was that it was just a Film That Didn't Need Making. We already knew all the jokes and (tragically) they aren't making any new ones.
Even the TV show wasn't as good as the radio version, although it was saved by the utterly, utterly brilliant animated narrator sequences.

Really good remakes: Scarface and 3:10 to Yuma
Good Remake: Death Race
Bad Remake: The Longest Yard
Really bad remake: The Pink Panther
Really really really really bad remake: The Honeymooners
Its not even out yet, and it already makes me really angry because it will suck harder than Tracy Lords: The Karate Kid
