A remake of Space 1999 would be interesting, and it should be called Space 1999. I think that if they pulled it off, it could be a hit. They brought back that battlestar galactica and it worked.

Logan's Run was an excellent flick for its time and making a new one would prove to be very interesting with all the modern special effects. My only concerns with remakes are this: Planet of the Apes. Planet of the Apes especially the 1st and 2nd one were great. Did you see what Hollywood did to the remake of the original? Special effects were good, but the movie itself really was bad.

I dislike when they do a remake of a movie or a television show and turn what was once a serious movie into a comedy. I-Spy comes to mind. I-Spy was a pretty serious TV series, but the movie they made out of it years later was a comedy. Same goes for The Wild, Wild, West, good series but they really messed it up with the movie.

I also know that eventually they are going to get around to this and really blow it…The Six Million Dollar Man, and the Bionic Woman. I know that somewhere down the road they are gonna take both of these classics, and turn them into a comedy when both shows were trying to be serious. This will kill me, but maybe I’m wrong; I hope I am.

All of this talk of remakes makes me want to remind everyone---

FRUITY OATIE BARS ARE PEOPLE! THEY'RE PEEEEOPLE!

Sorry. It's the hollywood purse strings that are playing to the lowest common denominator. The writer's can write whatever they want, good or bad, but if they can't convince a studio to back it, it won't ever get made.

So who is he?
He's my husband.
Well who in the damn galaxy ain't!

I dont believe i've seen (or heard) of an original Logans Run movie.. I have the complete TV series on DVD. Did the movie have the same cast as the series? How did it compare to the series?

and as for Jessica.. how can any young lad not have had a crush on her.. how short was her skirt?

They couldnt call it "The Six Million Dollar Man" anymore.. six mill doesnt buy much these days. Maybe the Six Billion Dollar Man.

Did I like the book better than the movie?

That's a tough call as the movie was good-but-not-great and differed from the good-but-not-great book considerable. I'd like to sound all intellectual but I'll have to say I like the movie better. (I've been considering reading the third book but the reviews are almost all bad.)

Oh Shadow, your making me cry thinking about it because you know they will. Like I said they're going farther and farther back into the vault looking to remake things because they've run out of stories, ideas, brain cells. Who could forget watching these classics and the adventures they went through, not to mention the agony Steve Austin went through when he had to let go of his love after her accident? Getting teary eyed at the memories, I was a kid and even I got it.

Starsky and Hutch was never a comedy, hell it was one of the groundbreaking shows of that generation. Real cops solving real social issues and the most powerful episode was when Hutch was captured by drug dealers given a lethal overdose and left in a sleazy apt for dead. Starsky panic stricken trying to find him then having to sit with Hutch as he went through the terrible withdrawel pains (this was way before there was a thing called re-hab). I cried in heartbreak having to watch my favorite character (I was going to marry him you see) go through such hell.

And what do they do with it? They make it a FREAKiN COMEDY! And with 2 of my least favorite actors WTF! I was angry beyond belief and have vowed NEVER to watch that piece of motherless (insert worst chinese expletive) crap. Why the two original actors did a cameo I'll never know (but most likely for the money) but I would want nothing to do with it. Take my memories and piss on them. SHAME on you Phoneywood.

Btw, who here can pinpoint the year Phoneywood started to go downhill?

Issues? Maybe a little.

Please, please leave the Bionic woman and her counterpart alone.

If I'm a bitch, then life just got interesting

Wasn't there a really bad remake of The Mod Squad?

Battlestar Gallactica

Fair enough to say.
But what about that fine series your country deemed fit to share with the world- UFO?
THAT was a show!
Ed Straker- THE MAN!
I cried my eyes out when his kid got hit by that car! What a tortured dude!
And those moonbase chicks w/the purple hair! Zowie!

If anything needs a remake, THAT'S IT!!!
