What T V series from the 90s would you like to see be redone again?

For me its Seaquest DSV.

I think even now there is still plenty of potential for a show on s big super advanced peaceful supermarine exploring the 95 per cent of the oceans that we still know nothing about. Lots of potential for some great stories if done write and with decent writers too.

Seaquest was brilliant.

I'd also like to see a reboot of Space: Above and Beyond or Sliders

I hated that show when I was a kid but have thoroughly enjoyed re-watching it as an adult.

A live-action Battle of the PLanets (it's a bt earlier than the 90s though, admittedly).

Gatling · 26-09-2020 2:01pm

Airwolf for me .

Even had the best theme tune ever

eviltwin · 26-09-2020 2:03pm

I'd like a reboot of the original Big Brother back when they had a variety of normal people and not 20 something glamour models and himbos.

Wouldn't mind an up to date Footballers Wives either. It was trashy and cheesy and didn't take itself seriously.

I just want a streaming service to get Dream Team.

Animaniacs. Actually just leave it untouched. Perfect for its era.

Give a platform (other than Boards) to the people who hate RTÉ but just won’t stop watching it.

Ultraviolet, Channel 4 mini-series from the late 1990s starring Jack Davenport, Stephen Moyer and Idris Elba.
Approached vampires (or 'Code Vs') from an X-Files type perspective.
Only 6 episodes... though it had great potential.

No thanks, The great Eddy Wally died in 2016. I couldn’t see that show now, without the greatness, of Eddy Wally who died back in ‘16...

RIP

I'm in two minds about mentioning Bablyon 5... I loved it but it was a troubled production at times, cast member changes etc
Would be curious to see what a new generation would do with the Vorlons, Shadows, Minbari, Centauri, Narn et al

Did it in 2008 and it flopped big time. Hasslehoff wasn’t involved. The new car looked meh... the acting beyond hammy, storylines laughable... only lasted a few episodes.

Battlestar Galactica got a fairly decent reboot , apparently it's getting another reboot next year

I thankfully cannot remember the 90's very much.

I know though that I had a great time, it was a blast.

Tony EH · 26-09-2020 7:58pm

Not too sure that I'd like to see any TV shows from the past resurrected tbh. When they do try, they usually make a balls of it. They've tried necromancy on 'The Twilight Zone' since the 80's and it's been awful each time, including the latest. 'Battlestar Galactica' wasn't as great as some people like to suggest either. There are numerous shows you could point to as examples of failed reboots.

But, in any case, if you actually look back at a lot (an awful lot) of TV shows of the past they just aren't as good as you remember them. 'Knightrider', 'Streethawk', 'Airwrolf', 'The A Team' (I can't think of any 90's TV shows ATM), they're all pretty terrible, and if made today they would last a single series.

I spose if there's one I had to choose, it would be 'Ulysses 31' (yeh, it's the 80's I know). But done completely straighfaced. That means no No-No or other annoying crap.

Oh, and 'Moviedrome'. It's not a TV show, but it was indispensable to me growing up. Simply don't understand why something like that hasn't been repeated.

Same for Pinky and the Brain.

Great series. I'd forgotten Idris was in it.

You'd have to rename it though. The film of the same name was one of the first Blu-Ray I bought. In a charity shop for 50c or something. To test a player. I tried to watch it and gave up shortly afterwards.

Andrewf20 · 26-09-2020 9:05pm

I dont think there any for me as they very rarely live up to the nostalgic charm of the originals. Loved Crystal Maze, Krypton Factor, the Word, Game on and many more back in the day. Vids on Ch4 was great but it was of its time.

That's so weird, I was just reminiscing about that only this week and watching clips of it on youtube. Transmute.

I loved the first series. Everything after that was completely s**t. I met nasty Nick though work around that time.

Brass Eye. People even couldn't handle it back then. I'm sure a new version would make a few spines shatter or dissolve into a fragrant pink mucus of nothingness...

Not sure but would be great to see quantum leap with Sam beckett appearing after all this time. He leaps into some one after all these years, the programme has closed down as he hasn't appeared in the guts of nearly 30 years. They think he had died. Ré open the programme to try and rescue him. Could be class. Same characters in it I know Dean stockwell is really old but could have him in the 1st few episodes trying to explain the passage of time etc. to Sam beckett and what happened.

Psychlops · 26-09-2020 10:41pm

The best tv show there ever was, if you dont fall in love with helicopters after watching this I feel sorry for you.

loved Space Above and Beyond, from my recollection its main problem was it was so expensive to make. Not sure if 90's or a few years out but Firefly series (movie serenity) was also a favorite.

There's been a good few Star Trek series and they are very variable. DS9 took a lot from B5. I didn't like Voyager only 7 of 9 and the doctor had character development and how many shuttles did they go through ? Enterprise was better. I gave up on Discovery half way through series 2. It's even worse on Prime Directive when it suits the plot than Voyager. Haven't seen Pickard.

JMS owns the rights to films and Warner owns the TV ones.
