That wasn’t in the article I read… 
Um … I’m sure this was in the Reader’s Digest!
Could you imagine them bringing back Moonlighting now that Bruce Willis is a mega star. And Cybill Shepherd is… well… old.
Mister Ed.
I’ve only cruised on Celebrity ships, and ethnicity is part of their “thing”. All stewards were from the Philippines, all dining room people from Poland, etc.
Tweaked link formatting to work.
I posted this one previously:
I like the way you think with most of that list. I personally think it’s about time that westerns became popular again. ![]()
I think Mel Gibson was a credible Maverick in the movie remake, but now … not so much.
They could sit on a park bench, like… oh, I don’t know… bookends?
Might get a decent theme song out of that.
So no one told you death was going to be this way…

There needs to be a distinction between reboots and revisited shows.
A show that does a “where are they now” with original cast, can be good (or at least not stupid). Witness The Wild Wild West Revisited, with Conrad and Martin revising their own roles, but older. That was at least as good as the original show. Still The Beaver was pretty good, with adult versions (played by original actors) of the characters. I’d love to see a version like that for Magnum.
Then there is the remake, with all new casts. But the trouble with these is, a lot of these shows were products of their time. The political world view that spawned all the 60s spy shows isn’t the world now. And the audience is more sophisticated now. Simple comedies like Gilligan and Hogan probably wouldn’t work.
I vaguely remember a show a while back that seemed to be a remake of “I Dream Of Jeannie.” Except that instead of a gorgeous blonde in silk pantaloons calling a guy “master,” they had … um… a black dude… in a three piece suit… calling a white guy “master.”
I saw one episode, and thought, “What WERE they thinking?”
Fresh Prince of Bel Aire gets a gritty reboot as Fresh Prince and Princess of Watts, starring Will Smith’s kids as they head off to live with their crack ho aunt.
Or MAS*H in Afghanistan. It could happen when and if the country gets weary of ongoing wars as the case with Vietnam.
I think F Troop is a better choice. Remember how O’Rourke and Agarn had these shady business set up with the local tribe? I can see that “Taliban Korans”, “ISIS Beheading Swords” and other shitty souvenirs, all being shipped back by military transport to the US for sale.
Oh, and heroin too.
I kinda like that idea. I vaguely remember liking the show when I was a kid. Give it the “Battlestar Galactica” treatment – darker, better production values, better acting – and it could be cool.
There was Ka-Zam, a movie where Shaq played a genie who walked around calling a little white kid “master”
The Monkees
The Brady Bunch, starring Brad and Angelina.
