I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.
some cunt probably has a rosie and jim horror ready to go the second the copyright expires
Not a particular franchise, but I miss parody movies like Hot Shots or Airplane. Barring one of those being remade, I’d settle for a reboot of Tremors.
I miss black and white. Also I would like to play something like viva piñata.
I’m still waiting for Mindhunter, but without Fincher, I don’t know if it will ever be the same.
I would love a Motherland: Fort Salem spin-off show either set in the Cession or in some other part of the world that’s not the USA. I could always watch another CSI show, but this time the characters from Miami and New York should be the ones making cameos
The Expanse
The show didn’t cover the Laconia story line, and given the time that passes before the final three books, we’re coming up on the perfect time to get the same cast back to do it.
The last few books are, in my view, the most compelling part of an already superb story.
The problem is not « what to reboot » it is How to reboot.
Just turn it off and on again.
I wish. I think the update have broken it
None. People need to move on and create new experiences. Recycling is for garbage.
Disney did an amazing job recycling
I would say Firefly but then also there’s a chance it could be ruined so I don’t really know if it’s worth it.
It’s getting an animated series so close enough to a reboot?
A bad reboot or sequel ruins nothing. It’s just in your head.
Technically you are correct yes, because the whole of reality is all in my head.
Whoa.
Maybe don’t take a nap or anything, okay?
Nice try, Hollywood.
Max Headroom could work, IFF they went full-bore with the mockery of media, corporatism-as-government and cynical view of advertising. Though the desolation inside and outside the cities and the plight of ‘blanks’ might hit too close to home nowadays as it’s pretty much a literal reality now.
They did attempt a reboot decades ago and completely dropped the ball taking Max from a satirical commentary about mainstream media and capitalistic nonsense into basically a talking head for capitalistic nonsense.
The actual original show was way ahead of its time and that change to it is what killed it.
I did enjoy the recent Scrubs reboot.
Also the KotH one was pretty good.
Good to hear. It had slipped my mind
Nice try, Hollywood.
Andromeda. Yeah, the Kevin Sorbo show.
The premise is actually great, and the overall plot until Robert Wolfe got pushed out showed a lot of promise. The poisonous factor largely came from Sorbo wanting to intentionally turn the show into campy trash, and TV executives who somehow agreed with him.
Reboot the show, get actors who won’t sabotage production, and hire some half decent writers who want to do a Star Trek-like new franchise.
A lot of the ideas of andromeda ended up in the later seasons of star trek discovery
It was originally envisioned by Gene Roddenberry, hence the quality of the concept.
I’ll be honest, I’ve no idea if that’s a codemnation or an endorsement lol.
I like Trek just fine, but it almost entirely stems from catching TNG episodes on daytime TV growing up, as well as the memes. My understanding was that TNG didn’t start to get gud until Roddenberry had largely been sidelined.
I would watch that. I loved that show for the first few seasons.
