TV shows that you would like to bring back or makeover

Bernie Mac Show : If bernie wasn't dead

Everybody hates Chris : lol

Comic View : I know it's back but I'd make Bruce Bruce the host instead.

What's your pick?

Great picks, though I think I'd be too easily pissed off now to actually enjoy Donahue.

I'm just sure someone would say something that'd make me want to toss the TV out of the window.

Magnum PI....though I doubt that it´d work with different actors

Star Trek (just remake the original series...updated versions of the old episodes would be nice)

Time Tunnel....I just watched a few of the original episodes but for some reason the memories were better than the actual show...a remake could be good though.

The King of Queens.... I loved that show and could watch it for weeks on repeat.

Kung Fu....but this time with a real Asian actor. Carradine was good but what they did to Bruce Lee was unfair. It´s nice to see that America has changed regarding the portrayal of stereotypical Asians in the media.

Moonlighting, but in my version David and Maddie would never do it until the very last episode.

Hart to Hart

bringing the ultra-glam dynamic duo back as Senior sleuths, in the vein of Miss Marple or Murder She Wrote- but keeping in a good amount of car chases and getting Stephanie Powers a better costume designer than they gave her in the middle-aged era Hart to Hart movies of the 90's. They had Robert Wagner still dressed in custom & tailored menswear, while it looked like they pulled Jennifer Hart's wardrobe from the Kathy Ireland K-Mart Collection no no no!

I think Lucasfilm broke the fourth wall years ago, as indicated by the Robot Chicken and Star Wars parodies and the Lego series. Disney seems to be furiously rebuilding it.

Bringing them together really messed that show up, they should have created an entirely different storyline to hide Cybil Shepard's pregnancy. nod

Dynasty lol

If they can bring back Dallas,why can't they bring back Dynasty,which was a better show anyway? Yes,I know that John Forsythe is no longer with us,but I think the show could still go on.The show could actually begin with Blake's funeral.Krystle has inherited all his money and his company,which (as expected) doesn't sit well with Alexis.Let the catfights and drama begin! lol Blake and Krystle's daughter is all grown up now,so she could be a major character now.

I love that show,too lol I got the entire DVD set that contains all the episodes.

I wish they could bring it back....but I'd like for them to forget the final episode...pretend that it was all a silly dream,lol.That episode was whack and it was a dumb way to end the show.

I think it's best to bring back shows that went off like roughly 7- 5 years or less. Try to bring back much of the original cast as possible. Don't want a "make over" or the crappy term "Reboot", but just continue the story where it left off. Shows that would fall into this catergory would be Terra Nova, Heroes (this series I could see as a big screen or into TV movies), Invasion, Threshold, Firefly (though this show has been off the air longer then what I mention could still get away with it) Justice League, Surface, Eastwick, Miracles, Happytown . I'm sure there is more out there but I picked alot of TV shows that lasted one season that I feel needed another chance.
