What properties or shows are you surprised nobody has rebooted?

[JD]

Actually I just realized we already had funny Lost. It was on TBS called Wrecked. I thought it was pretty good as well. Jason

I'd say Wrecked was more Gilligan's Island than Lost since there were no really sci-fi elements to it.

That is true but they did do some flashbacks and got their because of a plane crash. Jason

I'm surprised no one has turned Hitchhiker's Guide into an ongoing series.

They are, on Hulu in the US

Thanks for the info. This is the first I've heard of this.

I have a notion I heard something about it recently but a quick google didn't show anything since pre Covid

I saw an episode or two of that. And I remember laughing a lot.

 

[Jayson1]

If you want to watch more of them I know it is both on HBO and the TBS app. TBS had a good thing going for awhile their also having Search Party, People of Earth and Angie Tribeca. Jason

I'm surprised they haven't rebooted The X-Files (with a younger "hipper" cast [don't get me wrong, I love The X-Files and David Duchovy and Gillian Anderson, but you know there's a studio exec somewhere chomping at the bit to recast Zac Efron as Agent Mulder and Karen Gillan as Agent Scully])

 

[Skywalker]

I think we're more likely to see a sequel series to The X-Files than a reboot. They just made a couple of extra seasons only a few years ago, after all.

I remember enjoying that.

NBC is trying to launch their new streaming service on the strength of The Office. All well and good, but they lack action. I think we all know they need to reboot..

I would like to see Forbidden Planet updated. First as a mini-series re-telling the original film and then an ongoing series set in that universe.

Perhaps set on a new ship and crew including Robby the Robot, who has used his advanced Krell knowledge to make Earth's starships even faster.

This show could be part Star Trek, part Star Wars, and a dash of Lost In Space thrown in. I would enjoy that.

FP is a good call (and of course it was itself inspired by The Tempest) but I wonder if it might be a victim of its own influence. Might the tropes that it itself helped launch, for the likes of Star Trek and Lost in Space end up making a remake look overly-familiar to modern audiences?

Efron is currently the same age as Duchvony was when he started the X-Files.
Gillian is nearly a decade older than Anderson was at the start of the X-Files.

OK, that's a fair point.

I saw an episode or two of that. And I remember laughing a lot.

It was really funny, the Australian guy was especially a highlight.

If you want to watch more of them I know it is both on HBO and the TBS app. TBS had a good thing going for awhile their also having Search Party, People of Earth and Angie Tribeca. Jason

I never saw Search Party, which is the only one of these shows still going, now on HBO, or Angie Tribeca, but I did see and really enjoy People of Earth.
I never saw the first season, but I watched the first two or three episodes of Miracle Workers Season 2 and enjoyed them.

I'm surprised they haven't rebooted The X-Files (with a younger "hipper" cast [don't get me wrong, I love The X-Files and David Duchovy and Gillian Anderson, but you know there's a studio exec somewhere chomping at the bit to recast Zac Efron as Agent Mulder and Karen Gillan as Agent Scully])

 

[Jayson1]

Miracle Workers season 1 was good but I haven't seen season 2. Jason

 

[JD]

After my post last night, I got on the TBS site and it turns out they're doing a third season, and it looks like it'll be a western.

 

[Jayson1]

That sounds interesting. I still need to check the fantasy season out. Not big on fantasy which is why I haven't seen it so far. I really liked the afterlife version of the 1st season also a lot and kind of disappointed that Steve Bushemi wouldn't be playing God again.

I enjoyed the first season but haven't seen the second. Glad it has a third. Hopefully I'll catch up sometime. There is just so much tv now even being a shut in makes.it impossible to catch up
