Okay, I know it said ‘good sitcoms’ but think about the reboot potential given the cultural impacts this show had on boomers. Lots of meta jokes about a guy who can build nuclear reactors out of coconuts but can’t fix a hole in a boat.

Oh, and the Taxi reboot would have to be called ‘Uber’ or ‘Lyft’

Again not a \*good \*sitcom _per se_, but it would be fun to have a reboot in the vein of the movies, or else a grittier _Riverdale_-style reboot where there’s a lot of potential hanky-panky going on between the unrelated step-siblings.

I mean, obviously, you can’t call it the Dick Van Dyke Show, but you could build a show around the characters and what happens when they move to California to work on the series based on Rob Petrie’s autobiography.
