Topic: What shows/movies would you actually like to get rebooted?

[PANTS!]

Some of the science shows aimed at middle schoolers and high schoolers would be grand.

Oh man.  I haven't thought about that in so long...

What about Square 1?

Math Net (plays off dagnet but using math in an educational crime solving way) good kids show to reboot for todays audience.

Wasn't that a part of Square 1?

Now worries.  TBH, I almost posted the same thing before I remembered that it was a part of Square One.

Space Above and Beyond would be cool. But it might be too BSG these days.

Perhaps, but that's not necessarily a bad thing if they make it their own.

My first encounter with skepticism was seeing james randi on 321 contact (or could have been square one, they were shown back to back and this was more than 20 years ago).  Would be great to have a show like that again.

I always thought BSG copied the dark gritty scifi realism from Space above and beyond.

I honestly never connected the two until now, but it makes sense; there are a lot of similarities. To be fair though, the premises of humans being hunted in a carrier-type spaceship with the show revolving around a squad of fighter pilots was remarkably similar to the original BSG too.  Still, it was different enough to be its own thing and I liked the idea of them starting a war by accidentally putting a colony on an alien's planet.

"The Wire" would top my list.

The world could always do with more "Star Trek."

"The Beverly Hillbillies," not as a repeat of the same premise but as a sort of "next generation" thing. Jethro(Max Baer Jr. is still around) has become head of the family, and has grown into quite a savvy oil man. His two grandkids are spoiled rich brats, along the lines of Paris Hilton. They're constantly getting into trouble. Finally, gramps sends them back to the hills to learn something about life.

Have you watched Swamp Billionaires or Duck Dinasty?

I honestly never connected the two except for similar sort of atmosphere until now.  Now that you mention it, they both even had a robot rebellion.    The original cylons were built by aliens.
