Forgotten TV reboots

The upcoming reboot of "Ironside" (which looks ridiculous) got me thinking about the various attempts to reboot TV shows that have fallen into the TV graveyard (usually justifiably) ...what are your favorites?


2005...



2011...



1998...


1987...

 

2012...

 

How about The New Monkees (syndicated,1987)?

 

The blonde was evidently trying to out-mullet Davy...

 

The New Odd Couple-1982

 

Fantasy Island.

 

Before the more successful version they tried to reboot "Hawaii Five-0" with Gary Busey...yep it's pretty bad...

 

The Dark Shadows revivial in the early 1990s and more recently the 2004 WB version.

 

Twilight Zone.

 

Oddly enough, they did a reboot of the failed series "Cupid" - the original was a show I greatly enjoyed & was bummed when it was cancelled after only a few episodes. I did not see the revival, which featured a new cast & new setting, and which died after less time than the original.

Did they ever do the Rockford pilot?

 

I misread the title of the thread. I thought it said "Forgotten TV Robots" If that was the thread, I could only think of two - Rosie from The Jetsons and the robot on Lost in Space. Forgotten Reboots makes more sense for a thread.

Someone above mentioned the Rockford Files. Through IMDB.com I found an article about the show. A pilot had been made in 2010 with Dermot Mulroney as Rockford. The article states that David Shore was too busy to get the series going for 2011 season. I'm not sure if this has gone any further since then. Since watching Castle, I think that Nathan Fillion would make a perfect Jim Rockford. Of course, as we have seen, almost none of the Reboots have been successful.

 

I actually liked the reboot of Fantasy Island Surprised it didn't last longer

 

I really liked the Love Boat reboot. It was perfectly cheesy.

Also I loved the original Ironside. I've recently been rewatching a ton of those episodes. Great show.

 

He succeeded.

 

NBC did "Night Rider" a few years go and it lasted only 4 episodes before its cancellation.

 

Amanda's (Fawlty Towers)

 

A Get Smart revival was attempted in 1995, but despite the presence of Adams and Feldon it was perfectly dreadful.

 

The US version of the British sitcom Coupling.

 

The IT Crowd, U.S. edition (shudder):

 

I only watched a handful of episodes, but I liked what I saw of "The New Leave It to Beaver".

The other day, I was thinking about a scene in "The New Leave It to Beaver". Wally is asking Eddie about the cooler of beer, next to Eddie's easy chair, when the kitchen is just a few steps away. Eddie says something along the lines of "Yeah, it seems close now but after 7 or 8 of these - it is not so easy."

 

I liked this show, much better than the original!

 

New Adam-12, New Dragnet, Dragnet (2003), New Perry Mason, Young Maverick...

 

The new WKRP in Cincinnati.
