With X-Files and Coach both responding to an overwhelming lack of demand with upcoming revivals, what show will be next? I’m going with Cheers.
Whatever the show was that had Urkel in it.
Nah, nothing so iconic or dependent on the actors themselves for success.
I’d imagine some kind of sitcom of moderate popularity like Mr. Belvedere, or maybe a light action or PI type show… like Simon & Simon.
Not that I think they’ll actually remake either of those; I just doubt they’ll try and recreate a show quite as prominent as Cheers.
Mama’s Family?
One Day at a Time
My Mother the Car
Hogan’s Heroes, but this time set in a ISIS prison camp.
Sunny Tufts references never go out of style.
Anyway: Sure, why not. But Jerry Van Dyke now is the voice in the car of his grand? daughter. My Grandfather, the Car.
Sony is shopping around a Bewitched sequel pilot featuring Tabitha’s daughter Daphne.
I was going to make some mocking suggestions…then I remembered how many times they’ve brought back Knight Rider, and realized that I’ve been trumped by reality yet again.
Blue Thunder is coming back but as a drone instead of a chopper I believe.
This is revival, not remake though, right?
I could see a Monk revival.
Or Hawaii Five-0. :rolleyes:
By “revival,” are we talking about basically the same show with the same actors, but 15 or 20 years gone by since we saw them last? And theyr’e now old and fat and wrinkled and have gravelly voices but are just marginally wiser and still horny and/or supposedly hot? :dubious: 
Indestructible formats:
Matlock Folksy but crafty old lawyer, a couple of young, attractive assistants.
Knots Landing Why not? They brought back Dallas. Donna Mills is still alive and working, so you have an automatic villain, this time with a brand new cast of gorgeous people, and the old cast can make cameos.
*Location: Interior of Chet Overwood’s office, head of programming. A naked prostitute is laying face down across his desk. Chet is interrupted from snorting cocaine off her back by the entrance of Biff Understone, chief of young adult program developent.
Biff:* I’ve got it! We’re gonna bring back Action! Adventure! Romance! The 18 to 34 demographic!
Chet: “Homeboys in Outer Space”!
Biff: What’s big right now? Supernatural teen romances. Vampire Diaries, True Blood, Twilight… That’s what we’re doing! Except our teen reboot won’t be just a vampire or a werewolf, he’ll be ALL the animals!
prostitute: Even narwhals?
Biff: Did your desk just talk?
Chet: Yes!
Biff: Cool!
Chet: So what are we going to call this narwhal reboot?
Biff: That’s the beauty! It’s a known brand! We’ll call it… “MANIMAL!”
Gunsmoke
Wanted: Dead or Alive
Maverick
Johnny Yuma
77 Sunset Strip
Gilligan’s Island
I Led Three Lives
Pinky Lee
If you’re going to stoop that low, why not go all the way?
No studio would have the stones to do a MAS*H remake.
…but not as a comedy. As a dark supernatural drama, with a truly sinister, murderous Captain Manzini. I could seriously see this happening.
The upcoming revival of The Jetsons will attempt to present a more realistic view of our probable future. The showrunners will concede that we are never going to get jetpacks and flying cars. Instead, the characters will walk around all day looking down at their handheld devices and will never interact.
The plots, as a result, will be a tad on the dull side.
