My Two Dads, the one about the girl who's mother died, and the two guys she's pretty sure are her dad, wouldn't even be considered a bizarre concept anymore. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ExiledInIllinois Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 The Jack Benny Show "Rochester Van Jones, Jack's valet and chauffeur. Early in the show's run, he often talked of gambling or going out with women. Later on, he generally complained about his salary." That would go over well in 2019! Oh wait, maybe it would, move it to MTV or the Bachelor, mix a little Joisey Shore & Kardashians in there. /smh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Real Buffalo Joe Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Seth McFarlane gained the rights to reboot The Flintstones. I honestly don't see that being successful. half the people would complain that it's too much like the original, and not "edgy" or Seth McFarlaney enough, or vice versa. Personally, I'd like to see a modern Flintstones with at least a PG twist to it. Since it was originally a show aimed at adults to begin with, but the animation naturally drew a younger audience with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nextmanup Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 Is the OP asking for us to name crap TV shows that will never come back? That list is too long and depressing to contemplate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has to be the most likely never to be rebooted show of all time Mister Ed. Used to like watching it as a kid during the Nick At Nite runs of all of the old sitcoms, but I just can't imagine what form a reboot could possibly take of the premise.

Gray Beard Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 23 hours ago, That's No Moon said: Hogan's Heroes The Lawrence Welk Show The Captain and Tenille ? McHale’s Navy. Hogan’s Heroes had incompetent Germans, and in McHale’s Navy there were a lot of racial stereotypes that would not be allowed. McHale’s Navy was mostly in the Pacific again the Japanese, but there was also a season or two in Italy with incompetent Italians and Germans. There was also the occasional female eye candy that would not be allowed. Also, any show with a strong, knowledgeable father figure would not go over. Fathers in TV shows theses days are all bumbling idiots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you want Mr Ed just watch the Denver Broncos broadcast network and look for John Elway. While we are at it the city of Denver was named for one of Bob "Gilligan" Denver's ancestors. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite honestly I think a show like that today would do fabulously. Maybe not on broadcast TV, but somewhere in the vast realm of entertainment broadcasting. Audiences would love to laugh at a character like that right now. Not with him because he is right, but AT him because he was so incredibly wrong and behind the times. Just like they did in the 1970's. I don't think so. All in the Family focused on prejudices, stereotypes, and discrimination. Nowadays it all gets lumped together as racism. Back then the focus was on the behavior being bad but the person having a good side also. Now such people are simply pure evil. Back then the emphasis was on trying to enlighten the small minded person, now it only matters that some unknown recipient might be mortally offended. No way would it fly. You have a good point about South Park except that All in TF tried portray real life and South Park only fleetingly intersects it! I also don't think people under 30 can relate to an Archie Bunker type any more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
