The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Going off of @dpberr's thread about movie sequels/reboots, there have been a lot of TV shows that have been brought back recently. What shows would you like to see be revived, or completely rebooted? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dpberr Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not a reboot, but a new chapter in "The Shield" since many of the great characters lived to see another day. A rare science fiction or geopolitical miniseries. Something like the Day After, By Dawn's Early Light, V, Battlestar Galactica, The Stand. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Just Jack Posted January 8, 2019 Share Posted January 8, 2019 Not really a reboot, but bring back Revolution, even for just a limited run, since it ended on a cliff hanger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You couldn't multi-task and watch it. You had to really pay attention, and it was one of the few comedies from that era that didn't have a laugh track, which is much more common now.

I actually had an idea for a Andy Griffith spinoff. It wouldn't be a remake with the same characters. But similar characters, taking place in Mayberry. A twist I'd throw on it is swap the "Andy" and "Barney" roles. Where the Sheriff is the bumbling idiot, and his wiser deputy is the one that always has to clean up after him.

I don’t know how some of those skits would work in the modern world though. Like when Louie would charge the cabbies money for messages. The pre cell phone world!

SinceThe70s Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Fantasy Island - Bills style. Instead of Tattoo running up the tower to ring the bell and yell "Za plane! Za plane!", we'll get Flutie to run to the top of the stadium, blow the horn and yell "Za RV! Za RV!" Fitz could play the role of Mr. Roarke. In episode 1, Norwood drills it down the middle.

If you re-watch some of the old Married with Children episodes, they actually seem to be tamer then you would think. The most backlash it might face would be from feminist groups attacking it for the Nuddie bar. There wasn't too much that would be deemed 'Offensive' Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bills4everNY Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 A movie review show like "Siskel and Ebert."

The actors that made that soar are too ingrained in my memory to consider anyone else in the roles. Fillion has been quoted as saying if he ever hit a gold mine, he would like to revive the series. This to me is definitely a ‘revisit’ as opposed to a reboot. 12 hours ago, /dev/null said: Babylon 5 A very enjoyable series. I always liked JMS envisioned the five year story arc, and kept to it. Sadly, it would have to be a reboot, too damn many actors from the original are now gone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
