One show

[jodyguercio]

I know there is a thread right on going on about all the great old tv shows, but I wanted to take it one step further...... Pick ONE show, only one , that you would like to see brought back and updated....

Mine would be - MacGuyver

[sigma1914]

Seinfeld...find out what each of them did after prison.

[Greg Alsobrook]

Friends

[Stuart Sweet]

Brought back / updated? Hard to say because a lot of shows were great because they were "of their time." Other shows "owe a lot" to their predecessors. There was a show about the little nitpicky everyday problems a comedian has while trying to go through his day. It inspired a lot of catchwords and featured a tight central cast with a large "cloud" of supporting players. Do I speak of Seinfeld? Nope, Jack Benny.

Personally, I'd like to see "That Was The Week That Was" but only if Tom Lehrer still wrote the songs. This is a time that could use some political comedy in prime time.

Cheers and M*A*S*H, my two all-time favorites.

'24', with references to the Screen Writers strike, and an explanation of "Jack's" DUI incarceration.

[sean10780]

Home Improvement, one of my favorite shows of all time.

[navy8ball]

Mission Impossible hands down.

[StlChief]

Quantum Leap.

[Drew2k]

Firefly.

But not updated. I want the original cast.

I do, however, want a new network to run it.

[tomcrown1]

IT IS CHEERS---Does Sam and Diane get married is Norm still Norm?? Does Cheers every beat that other bar??(FORGET THE THE OTHER BAR NAME)

[Stuart Sweet]

You speak of Gary's Old Town Tavern.

[The Merg]

Firefly.

But not updated. I want the original cast.

+1 on that one!

[Fenway]

St. Elsewhere

[phrelin]

There are about 5 shows that have implanted themselves forever in my memory, but updated in today's tv culture? No thanks. A couple are already on HULU.com for me to happily watch in crappy old SD.:D

[Steve Mehs]

Not really old, not really in need of an update but a continuation. NYPD Blue. How's Sipowicz handle his role as the Sgt of the 15th.

[Castlebill]

Laugh In. Here come da judge.

[tomcrown1]

Laugh In. Here come da judge.

Then we should also do the Smother Brother Comedy Hour---Bush like you best

[RobertE]

Just to name a few:
Buck Rogers
Hill Street Blues
A-Team

More so for the ladies
Dallas
Flacons Crest


All could be brought back with some updating.

[Nick]

'The Fugitive', but only with David Jansen, may his troubled soul finally rest in peace.

[Pink Fairy]

Sliders!!!

Wouldn't that be great!

Can you imagine the new verses to "Pollution" or "National Brotherhood Week"? :)

Paper Chase

[Earl Bonovich]

A-Team

Night Court.... but I just don't think there is a cast out there that could do it justice.

[calgary2800]

American Gothic

[Ken S]

A-Team

Night Court.... but I just don't think there is a cast out there that could do it justice.

Night Court and Cheers...two classic comedies. While I like "Back to You" somewhat it makes for a sad comparison of the sitcoms of today and years back.
