scifi TV series ripe for a reboot

Sliders, and another vote for Space:2099 as well.
Definitely make it serious,, with an occasional comedic episode. The main characters could be something "serious" like the mayor or whatever, at least a few times during the season. If the story is strong...it could be the "what if"...like what if Quinn did NOT get into college, or followed a different passion.
i think Fringe is showing us what that's like...alt-Walt is "Mr. Secretary"
Also, i vote for SEQUELS (not so much a reboot) of Nowhere Man and War of the Worlds.
War of the Worlds...well, it would be a reboot of Season 2. Keeps the green glowing effect, but keep the characters from season 1.
For Nowhere Man...a sequel..maybe with some flashbacks over the years.
I think UPN should've stuck with Nowhere Man one more season...they could've rode the X-Files wave with a show similar in genre, but different in set up.

I know it never got past the pilot, but Legend of the Rangers as long as they got rid of the virtual weapons thing. That was plain bad.
I'd also consider Crusade but the writers would have to consider other background character since most are pretty old by now. Unless they could splice video clips.
I don't know if it falls into Sci Fi, but how about X-Files.
Fringe plays like X-files and one of the last episodes had two characters that acted like Scully and Mulder (well, one had the "I want to Believe" thing going. Instead of a poster, she had a pen.)

Word.
Well, it's not an official project as of yet. Space: 2099 is an ambitious pitch that's been made to Grenada, the current holders of the S:1999 license.
I was actually thinking of writing a novel which is like a reboot of Earth 2 several years ago but I got sidetracked. I liked the premise in parts.
"Jupiter Moon"
What about
"Jupiter Moon" (1990-1991 TV Series) ?

Five ways to ruin a perfectly good sci-fi show

This is pretty funny and yet sad. Any of these ready for a reboot?

Gary Seven: Gary Graham
Roberta: Alison Mack
A GARY SEVEN series would be a lot of fun, and perfect for SyFy's focus on Earth-based science fiction. I'd rather a remake not have any connection to STAR TREK, though. As fun as your STAR TREK novels featuring the characters have been, Greg (Assignment: Eternity, The Eugenics Wars Volumes 1 & 2), it's not necessary baggage for the series to have.
Agreed. Although one can debate whether a STAR TREK connection would hurt or help the ratings.
But, yeah, there's no real need to tie it into TOS.
Meawhile, Friday's nights SMALLVILLE makes me wonder if ISIS might be ripe for a revival. A young woman discovers that she's the reincarnation of ancient Egyptian heroine. Defends the world from mythological threats while wearing a fetching white toga . . . .
Sounds like a good fit for the CW!
