I don't know about a reboot, but I sure could use a Season 3 to:

-Sonic The Hedgehog
-Young Justice
-Thundercats

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.

Christina Applegate has a career? Oh, wait, I forgot Hall Pass and Anchorman 2 are such big roles. Katey Sagal also has little career. Being Leela and on Sons of Soap Opera for Men is not impressive. A show like "Still Married with Children" would be a step up for all of them.

I would completely understand your point if your initial response wasn't that Ed O'Neil was the only one that still had a career. Modern Family is basically Married with Gay Children. I would say they are all about on even ground.

Also, hate to shatter your delusion but all TV is basically soap opera. It just doesn't have that soap opera effect.

I can't disagree though that Still Married with Children could be fun.

I will concede Ed O'Neil is on even ground.

Sons of Anarchy is pretty terrible in being a silly soap opera. It is Days of Our Lives for idiots who think they are tough.

The X-files for me.

there is a new season being made. More of a miniseries. Like Fargo I guess

http://www.express.co.uk/entertainm...Gillian-Anderson-Scully-David-Duchovny-Mulder

The X-Files will be returning next year for a limited run of six-episodes that will start airing in January with leads David, 54, and Gillian reprising their roles as the dynamic duo.

William B Davis is also going to be back as the mysterious Cigarette Smoking Man and Mitch Pileggi will be playing Mulder and Scully's boss Walter Skinner.

Last week it was announced that Community star Joel McHale was going to be joining as a guest star, playing a right-wing online news anchor who becomes an ally to Mulder.

The X-Files will be returning on January 24, 2016

Why not the six million dollar man? After catching some old episodes on Esquire it seems like an interesting prospect if done with today's special effects....

just found this link after last minute googling.

looks like there's a movie remake even if not a series reboot.

It does really surprise me that they've not rebooted Quantum Leap yet. Heck they could use Scott Bakula in a role reversal doing the experiment on someone else and HIM be the hologram, or maybe just a cameo handoff.

there would have to be a serious retcon or something because in the series finale. He jumps into a weird time/space bubble where he meets a person who was there on his first leap in the first episode.

He is informed that in future leaps it will be much harder to set things right and the audience is informed that Dr. Beckett never makes it back home.

Yep. I loved Quantum Leap growing up. I made the mistake of watching a couple episodes of it not too long ago. It sucks now 🙁


The Unit needs to be rebooted/picked back up/whatever. The cast was great and it was based off of a very good book. They never even made it through half of the things in the book. Then after that they would have current events to draw from.
 
I want to see Action come back on cable which is where it should have been in the first place. Too bad they went for the network money instead of the cable freedom, it could have been one of the greatest shows ever. The 13 episodes that got done were brilliant.

Yea, I never saw the finale -- I read up on it after I posted this. One could surmise maybe he could jump into his own body just prior to being sent and having to go anyway so he wouldn't create a paradox etc etc...it's time travel..lots you could do with it. They broke most of their own rules in the last season anyway 😛
