Thread: remakes of tv series

Today while flicking through the channels on my television I realized that most of the shows from yesterday that were remade do not last long although back in the days some were major hits and even today as reruns still draw an audience for example the Bionic Women and Knight Rider both were remade and did not last one season on today TV while both were big hits in their heydays. Now my question to you is what older TV show would you like to see remade and why is it your opinion that the show would fare better of today then it did in the past, my choice would be Hawaii five o, I believe this show would do better today simply because they go could in depths into the investigation with today technology and make it sort of a NYPD blue, CSI type show and I believe it would work with the beauty of Hawaii thrown in it should be a hit

Battlestar Galactica?

Hey that is a good notice man. I remember there being that knight rider remake. I only seen the pilot episode, did they make anymore episodes of it?

Hmm I wouldn't mind it if they made a live action Batman television show like the Adam West one, that is mainly because I was such a huge Bat fan when I was younger. I think that it would fair well because Batman is still popular to this day. Also the Christopher Nolan Batman series has been successful and has probably gained Batman many new fans. I think it would also fair well, due to being able to seem more realistic and less cheesy like the Adam West one. Batman would also be able to have better weapons, and stuff.

I've always wanted V to be remade, which they have done recently and from a special effects standpoint its bound to be better today with the technology available, although the original V wasn't bad for 1983

I'd love to see a remake of Brimstone and a full series that won't get cancelled like the original did.

never heard of that one brimstone do you care to fill me in

Would be nice if they keep V for another season and actually spend some money on the effects. They did this 1st season on pretty low budget looks like. Hope it comes back!

Loved watching this. Could not get into Caprica at all tho!

I would defiantly like to see a remake of The A-Team. The original show was mildly entertaining, however I haven't seen the new movie yet so i'm not sure what to expect.
