The unnecessary reboot/remake of the week thread

Since these streaming shows aren't 22 episodes per season, you can do two things at the same time as long as they don't overlap. Look at Harrison Ford.
Similarly, there's the example of Angela Bassett, who films 18 episodes of the 911 series every year (though some seasons have 10 to 14 episodes), makes a lot of movies every year, and even appears in a few seasons of American Horror Story. They somehow manage to fit in a filming schedule. Of course, the fact that 911 season filming lasts 4 to 6 months a year also makes things easier. (If a season of 911 has 10 or 14 episodes, they film for 4-5 months between September and December or January; if it has 18 episodes, filming starts in July and finishes in December.)

It should be noted that the seasons that had less than eighteen episodes were because the pandemic and the actor's strike necessitated fewer episodes.

So strange when studios are that desperate to remake anything so they can have the "name brand," even things that weren't that big, or have such a generic story you could easily call it something else.
 
It will suck. Some things can't be remade. That is because the original has a quality to it that is not easy to recapture and also weird things happening in the suburbs is not exactly a new concept at this point in storytelling.

Was it really newer in 1989? I recall a suburban '50s flick in which a family of four was incinerated and replaced by Martian invaders. Not a comedy, at any rate.

I can see you have nostalgic feelings for it. I myself still fondly remember NEW ZOO REVUE......and perhaps that one's due for a redo, even if it's as a horror film.
 
That makes me surprised that there hasn't been a push to remake Arachnaphobia yet (as TV series or movie), which originally came out the following year from The Burbs.
