TV shows that deserve a reboot.

[purbeast0]

been watching a ton of married with children recently. man oh man is that show fucking hilarious. but i don't think they could reboot it because ed oneil is too old, and they can't have someone else try to play the characters, it just wouldn't sit right.

i also can't believe that show was on Fox. not a chance in hell Fox would allow a show of that nature now a days with the nanny state we live in now.

They did a reboot of Fantasy Island with Malcolm McDowell in 1998.

Uhhh... FXX? There's way "worse" things on there than Married with Children.
And if a show still holds up today (you said its "fucking hilarious") then no need to reboot.

Most of the shows listed would be better if they were continued, not remade.

i said FOX, not FXX. of course it could be on cable.

and a reboot would own because we'd get new episodes.

Three's Company (on Skin-e-Max)

MST3K

Reboot

 

[SamQuint]

I am ashamed that none of you have said the most obvious one that must have a reboot.

BAYWATCH

New batch of hot lifeguards, slow motion running, enough said...

 

[Gooberlx2]

Jericho

So much promise. So catastrophically ruined by the writers strike.

 

[dr150]

I guess the reason people like Jericho so much is b/c of the similarities/direction with tribes concept of the Wool books that the show was heading towards.

In this age of internet there is no need to sit though an hour of boring bull hit so see girls running around in skimpy clothing.

Anyone remember the Sledge Hammer comedy? Used to love this show.

nvm

 

[ImpulsE69]

You mean this wasn't a legitimately plausible scene?

Which episode am I describing? It's not lupus, but he still gets his diagnosis wrong about 30 minutes in. Then at minute 51 he sees something totally unrelated that makes him realize what the real cause is.

Exactly, which is what made this show shine. The same plot over and over and over...and I still loved every minute of it

Oh yes! That was classic!

what about a MacGuyer reboot?!

:awe:

Babylon 5

Hogan`s Heroes

I would love to see The Muppet Show continued. Or, at least get it on Netflix or something.


Hogan's Heroes - great series based on a great movie (Stalag 17). But, I don't see how it could be modernized - I mean, we haven't really had recent wars where the public is keenly aware of prisoners of war on our side. Making a series about prisoners at Guantanamo escaping nightly and going out to blow things up just doesn't seem like it would go over well.

 

[clamum]

The Unit

I dunno about a reboot. They should just continue it with the same characters and actors. Best frickin show ever.

 

[leonsk528485]

The X-files for me.

 

[Jaepheth]

what about a MacGuyer reboot?!

:awe:

It'd just end up as a reality/competition show where contestants have to escape various extraordinary scenarios with ordinary items.


On topic: Has anyone said Firefly yet?

Pretty sure they are doing a new Muppet Show.

Edit: yep, on ABC: http://www.cbc.ca/news/trending/the-muppet-show-is-coming-back-to-tv-1.3066573

We don't even need a reboot. Ed O'Neil is the only one that still has a career. Bring back the original cast!

The Event

yeah i was looking forward to season 2 when they cancelled it

though some of the acting was crap, i can see why they did it. still, it was an interesting premise.

What are you talking about?? LMAO. Who do you think was Gemma in SOA? And Christina Applegate does all kinds of movies.

David Faustino might be close to not doing much, but he has steady TV cartoon voice overs and b-movie jobs.
