Are there any science fiction movies and/or TV shows that should be remade? I think the best ideas for remakes are movies/shows that had good premises but didn't live up to their potential(like Battlestar Galactica). I think Seaquest DSV would be a good choice because NBC dumbing it down prevented it from reaching its full potential.

SMALLVILLE.
I think that it would be interesting if Space: 1999 was remade. The disaster on the moon would need a more believable cause. They have to keep the Eagles though.
Remake:
Stargate, with people who aren't afraid of the premise
Enterprise, with the Birth of the Federation concept, not aimless space tourism and silly time travel BS
Clone Wars, with animation that isn't so hard on the eyes (I'd prefer live action but I know it's cost prohibitive) and no compunctions about changing Lucas' nonsense. I'd rather have a non-canonical story that solves the myriad problems of the prequels - let the audience decide which one they prefer as "canon."

Heh. Canon isn't what it used to be. Canon is whatever appears onscreen, right? So canonically, who shot first? Han or Greedo?
Canon is whatever is better or at least less stupid. Han has to shoot first to establish he's a selfish badass so that at the end of the movie, his rescue of Luke represents an actual arc. He can't be good in the end if he isn't bad at the beginning. If you're not doing an arc, why include the scene with Han and Greedo at all? Not to mention the utter implausibility that anyone could fail to hit Han at point-blank range. ARGH! Lucas doesn't comprehend the most basic elements of decent storytelling.
Oooh GOOD ONE!
Disagree. the original is just about perfect the way it is. Besides, you'll never top Bruce Dern's perfomance in that film.
Not necessarily. Like Network, Max Headroom may be one of those things that ceased to be a satire because it has come true.
The Last Starfighter.
The first ever CGI film.

I know Ray Bradbury has been trying to get a new version of Farenheit 451 made for years. That's one I'd like to see.
Logan's Run remake would be fun.
I'd definitely like to see a true version of I Am Legend but I suspect that will never be done on the big screen because the Hollywood types (and maybe mainstream audiences) would be put off by the lack of action. An HBO version of it perhaps?

"Mutant X" the original concept for the series after Marvel and Fox had their falling out regarding the use of X-Men characters. It would have featured a 12 Adam Zero as the main character leading a newly created batch of mutants against some kind of government conspiracy I believe. Probably wouldn't have featured Victoria Pratt but oh well, sacrifices must be made.
"Sliders" I loved the pilot and the first season of the show...then it started tailed off when it departed from it's original premise and ran out of alternate Earth's, how can you run out of ideas for alternate Earth's? Answer: They didn't hire me.

Do you mean more mundane? Unfathomable, dispassionate alien intelligences interfering in the destiny of man - there's a huge idea I'd be sorry to see go.
I can't think of a show that needs to be remade less than Space: 1999. They've already fucked it up once with that disastrous second series re-boot.
