TV shows that I want to remake/reboot (1 Viewer)

[Hoos First]

The Mole

 

[belljr]

My Two Dads

 

[El Floppo]

Battle of the Network Stars

 

[El Floppo]

Magnum PI. Hawaiian girls in bikinis. Preferably on cable with nudity.

Yes. Or Simon and Simon. We are over due for a private eye, sexy locale show.

Matt Houston and his pimp-mobile ftw.

and I say 'pimp-mobile' because the pimp that lived down the street from me growing up had one.

 

[wikkidpissah]

The Tick

 

[Leroy Hoard]

I Dream of Jeannie with someone at least as hot as Barbara Eden. Dr. Bellows would be played by a pipe smoking chimp.

Christina Hendricks.

 

[wikkidpissah]

Police Squad, starring Jon Hamm, produced by Robt Carlock

Christina Hendricks.

She wouldn't even need that pushup bra.

Might need scaffolding pretty soon, though.

 

[Mr. Ected]

MST3K

 

[Bull Dozier]

Match Game - Would tape this in Las Vegas, like they used to do with that celebrity poker show. Get a funny host, book a good mix of A-, B- and C-list celebs and let the booze flow backstage. Would go with the vintage look for the set.

I watch these on the GSN every once in a while. Love this show. I only vaguely remember it as a kid, but Dawson was the man.

 

[Gr00vus]

The White Shadow. Not necessarily a reboot but maybe a follow on, where Carver high is nearly 40 years later. Maybe one of the original cast can be the coach or principal.

I like the idea of Vice Principal Salami.

I like the idea of Vice Principal Salami.

It'd be interesting to see where all those characters ended up, but the guy who played Salami would be the guy you want directing/producing the show rather than acting in it. I could see something like Heyward being principal and him bringing in Goldstein to coach or something. Coolidge would probably be the most realistic guy to pose a "made it to the NBA, burned out, gets invited to coach, agrees reluctantly" character of those from the original - but then the title wouldn't make much sense.

 

[RC94]

Firefly

Better Off Ted

Only if Joss Whedon does it again...and with the same cast.

I agree. Both of my suggestions are for a reboot, not a remake.

 

[Chaka]

Ow My Balls!

 

[Chaka]

The X-Files

The truth is out there right here: The X-Files is indeed returning to Fox, with original stars David Duchovny and Gillian Anderson reprising their respective roles as Fox Mulder and Dana Scully.

Fox has officially ordered a six-episode continuation of its phenomenally successful supernatural drama, to shoot this summer and (presumably) air at some point next season. (An official airdate remains TBD.)

Finally accepting the fact that their post X-Files careers have been relatively uninteresting* and trying to reclaim the magic? That'll work.

*Californication is weak, take out the nudity and no one's watching. Accept it and move on.

 

[Mr. Ected]

Gong Show.

 

[RedmondLonghorn]

Gong Show.

They already did that. Only it was called American Idol and it was a lot less fun to watch.

 

[belljr]

The Baseball Bunch

 

[Mr. Ected]

Gong Show.

True, but there is no Gong in American Idol, and most of those folks thought they were seriously good.

 

[brun]

Push Nevada

But with a better contest.

 

[RUSF18]

"BJ and the Bear"

But make it a reality show. Random women compete for fabulous prizes by trying to suck off an actual Kodiak bear.

"Now there's a concept I can't get enough of...a man and his monkey."

Oh, I totally agree. I actually like the Gong Show idea.

The trick would be coming up with a good host!

They already remade this. It was a porn series. BBBJ and the Bear.

Chuck Barris was aweful. I think that's an easy replacement. Guy always looked like he was going to drool on himself. Jean the dancing machine recently passed away though.

I don't have the time nor the crayons to explain just how dumb this is.

MASH

My Two Dads

The Young Ones

Night Court

 

[Fennis]

Coach

 

[Don Quixote]

Was anyone asking for "Coach" to be rebooted? http://www.ew.com/article/2015/03/26/nbc-coach?hootPostID=233153d49df8540be5fa1c7fbfef6634

 

[Parmcat]

a 2015 version of The Brady Bunch, put on Netflix.

I really want to hear Alice tell Mike to go #### himself

Or Marsha deal with real world issues!

CHiPs

Phil Packer and George Glass are living happily together with their cat Pandora.

But how cool would it be for it to be a reboot with the same cast!

 

[Godsbrother]

A Mystery Science Theater 3000 reboot would kick SNL's @$$

America's Got Talent is a closer comparison than American Idol. They have a gong (buzz)

Great show but I imagine it would go the way of the Arrested Development or Futurama reboots, lots of fanfare but still not a strong enough audience to keep it going regularly.

 

[Keith R]

1st and Ten

But keep it on HBO. Not only would basic cable overedit it, but the NFL would try to exercise control over it anywhere else (including Showtime).

That's what I meant by reboot, or at least what I thought reboot meant in this scenario. Same everything, just give it another chance at success.

Enlighten me. Break out the crayons.

I know his schtick was to be as goofy as the contestants were, but he came across as totally annoying to me. Every time I heard, "we'll be back with more stuff", I'd cringe.

 

[Mr. Mojo]

An R or X rated version of Fantasy Island.

They could get away with a lot these days.

 

[imjackdupp]

Manimal staring Gary Busey. Would prob last for more than one season unlike the original.

 

[cstu]

1st and Ten

A more serious 1st and Ten on HBO would be

 

[cstu]

The Prisoner

Still my favorite TV show of all time. If someone could do it justice* it would be an amazing reboot.

ETA: Not this piece of trash.
