Better Off Ted
I’ve been pretty lucky up until now in that most series I like didn’t end up being ruined at some point. For some reason I never watched GoT or Lost e.g.
However, there is one glaring exception: Heroes. It went downhill pretty fast due to an writers strike back then. I don’t even know whether or not I’d be into a remake, since superheroes are everywhere now and the whole superpower copying thing is basically in every series with superpowers ever. But still, there was something intriguing about the show and I’d like to see them try again.
Game of Thrones was still excellent throughout most of its run, to be fair.
I understand “Moving” is the spiritual successor to Heroes.
It was great right until it surpassed the books. The quality dive was immediate
Problem with this is the rather likely outcome of anything that is made being worse. That being said firefly was so good and there was years of intended plots (I think, you can see how he had to kill off the plot lines in the movie and just do the main one). Would love if the whole thing can be done but they would need to find another magic cast. That being said I sometimes think whendons real talent was casting.
Under The Dome, I loved the concept and the first season was quite good but it just became confusing and weird. I want another go at adapting the book.
Would love to see these restarted again with a time jump.
- Invasion (2005)
- Stargate Universe
- Terminator
- Expanse
The Expanse isn’t even implausible in 5 years or so if Amazon wants to revisit it
V. Top notch 80s sci fi about alien lizards ruling the world and the human resistance to their invasion.
Get on it Hollywood. Todays fans would eat that shit up if done properly.
It did have a remake attempt in 2009
First miniseries was great, and filled with Nazi allusions and outright references. Second miniseries, which saw us beating the lizards, was OK as completion of story and sci-fi action adventure, but more superficial. TV series followup undid the victory and totally sucked.
2009 remake was an inconsistent mess, but with decent production values. Canceled without resolution after one season.
Really? I guess they tried to run it as a network show and not a streaming show. Cause I never even heard of it.
Still. It’s been a decade. Let’s try again.
The Million $ Man. Keep it set in the 70’s though.
They tried to reboot Bionic Woman, but it flopped for some reason. I agree though that the six million dollar man IP is ripe for a reboot. Itould be nice to see some nods to the original, like a sly mention of how the project has been going on in secret since the 1970s, and maybe an episode with a bigfoot investigator that everyone thinks is crazy. 😉

Blake’s 7 - reimagining and The Middleman - revival are a couple of prime ones for me.
Joe Pera Talks With You deserved better. It was so uniquely heartwarming, charming, funny, quirky. I’ve watched in its entirety multiple times. It’s perfect before bed viewing.
