ok so we got galactica - remade 're-imagined' alotta hype that more such worthy things would follow - whatta we get Flash Gordon?? and now The Bionic frickin' Woman...

let's make a list of shows people SHOULD try again with (and yes i'd prefer more original product but play along...)

FireFly - obviously becomes Serenity the Movie sries on dvd (neatly by-passing the rights issue coz universal could make it)

Logan's Run - get's my vote for the re-imagining

plus (bending my own rules) Ginger Snaps as a TV series. sisters forever. etc.

This time give it a real ending and less Ernest Borgnine.

I was in the group of peeps that thought the new BSG would be crap. I was wrong, it hooked me straight away, and it's now one of my favourite shows.

I had the same thoughts about The Bionic Woman. Saw the pilot and thought it was mediocre. Don't know if I'll watch a series yet.

Saw The Sarah Connor Chronicles and liked that a lot. Will be watching this one.

I didn't even know about Flash Gordon until I read it in another thread here. Sounds bad. Will be missing this one.

As for ones I'd like to see re-imagined I have to say The Prisoner. This show was ahead of it's time but whilst the story is still great, it is looking dated. I think it could be updated well, bringing in modern themes etc. And be different enough not to be a straight rip of the original.

That's all I can think of now, but I guess we should be watching out for MASH, Buck Rogers, Rocket Man, Columbo, Rockford Files, TJ Hooker.....

SLIDERS

If there was one show that could be labelled as "missed opportunity" and deserves to be re-created in the same fashion as BATTLESTAR and WHO, it's SLIDERS.

If they can get together four actors with the same chemistry as the original Sliders, stick with the "parallel worlds" idea and have that same satirical edge of the first two seasons, get rid of the Kromaggs and if they have to have an overreaching arch have it be some sort of "fabric of the universe coming apart" deal, than they'd have a great series that hopefully they wouldn't fuck up.

I could have sworn that The Matrix was a remake of Tron. Not identical mind you but as close as we're likely to get.

Quantum Leap

+1 to Sliders too.

(I don;t want a remake of Firefly, but a continuing.)

The Matrix started out a little bit 'Tron', a lot more Gibson, and then veered into 'Dune', with an awful lot of sub-Arthurian b*ll*cks mixed in. Like so many trilogies, it lost it.

Now, if they would do the 'Neuromancer' Trilogy properly, that would be fabulous.

Actually, 'Dune' done properly would be good. CGI has advanced far enough to make the sandworms possible.

I know some of our brother and sisters over th other side of the pon dmay not have seen it, but Captain Scarlet was a great concept. A campy crappy kids show from the 60/70's about a soldier of a future international law enforcement agency who couldn't die. Now the fun bitt is that he's not invulnurable. He can get shot, stabbed, blown up, what ever and he appears to die but a few days later he just turns up.

They already tried a remake once, but that was just a CG version of the original.

I always thought that with a bit of work and the right writing staff the central concept could be used as the basis of a series.
