Predict the next completely unnecessary TV show revival

Buck Rodgers

The Gong Show

I could see a modern version of Quantum Leap.

Bewitched. I’m surprised, yet glad, that it hasn’t been already. Horrible movie excepted.

You know, Scott Bakula still looks fairly good, and the original show did end with him continuing his jumps. I can see a x-files type revival.

Maybe, after decades of body-jumping, society has become aware of his existence? And he’s treated as a sort of religious figure?

Realistically? King Of The Hill is possible at some point. There was no “final episode” where everything was wrapped up, just a regular episode. Mike Judge brought back Beavis and Butthead a few years ago. And despite Brittany Murphy not being alive to voice Luanne, I bet all the rest of the voice actors would do it at the drop of a hat. Not that everyone is clamoring for that, but it’s reasonable that it could happen.

Oh PLEASE let it be Heil Honey I’m Home!

Damn, I was thinking the same thing.

Does that mean it could be a hit?

I give you Love Boat: The Next Wave.

With all of the Z grade celebrities we have, I am surprised something like this hasn’t been done again. My guess is if they redid The Love Boat today it would be a Reality Show and the three stories we follow would “real” in the sense that the people wouldn’t be actors and it it would be set on a real Cruise liner but it would be created by writers like most reality shows are behind the scenes these days.

And Dr Huxtabel at the office, leering at his next patient and sending his nurse on an errand.

Strictly speaking, no revival is “necessary.” Neither is the original show, for that matter.

Thank God. I hated that show.

Coming soon: Man From Uncle, and the Wild Wild West.

This reminds me of a “Top Ten” list that Dave Letterman did on his original NBC show way back in the 80s (I’d say around '87 - '89): “Top Ten Television Shows in the Year 2020” or something to that effect. One of the ‘shows’ he mentioned was called “The Golden Girl” (singular). That show actually could happen now - Betty White starring as Rose, the last survivor.
Just for the sheer weirdness of it, I’d like to see a series called “How I Met Your Father” with the entire cast of HIMYM reunited, including the two future kids. The series would start with the kids telling their aunt Robin “Dad told us his version of how you two got together. He said this and this and this.” And then the voice-over of Aunt Robin says “No, no, no…he got it all wrong.” And then we flashback to episode one, and repeat every single episode of the series from Robin’s POV, and everything seems wildly different.

*Wild Wild West *was a very bad movie, with Will Smith, and The Man from UNCLE with Henry Cavill and Armie Hammer will be out in August.

Planned and dropped, though not your version.

I saw a South American version of it on Russian TV a few years back. It was dismal too. :frowning:

BTW, if someone was going to predict Heroes, too late.

There would have to be castaways of all different races and sexual orientations if GI was made today. But Gilligan would have to remain a white, heterosexual male because Gilligan is such an idiot. Make the stupid one any other race and hell would be raised.

Before The Avengers (movie) became such a hit, I feared the possibility of a Buffy the Vampire Slayer revival.

Doesn’t mean it can’t be rebooted, however. :frowning:

If they wanted to really pretend to have a crew similar to actual cruise ships, they’d need to be MUCH more ethnically diverse. I’ve only been on 3 cruises (two different cruise lines) and I’m hard-pressed to remember any Americans in any of the featured positions. Of course, reality has nothing to do with TV anyway.

I seem to recall reading an article about working on cruise ships and there are specific rules about interacting with passengers. But we can’t have facts getting in the way of entertainment. :smiley:

  1. No fucking more than 1 passenger at a time.
  2. No fucking any passenger more than once (there’s a lot of passengers and not enough crew for them all).
