Re: rebooting TV shows
I thought of one when I made a sharp left turn this afternoon. It has everything we need for a decent reboot...the show was a failure so you can ONLY go up, the premise wasn't terrible if it was just handled right, and it doesn't even have so much as a cult following these days so fans wouldn't dis the new reboot.

Which reminds me of...

Though I dare say the cast in that show was PERFECT. The show may have flopped (too far ahead of it's time?) but I can't really imagine anybody else in those roles. It'd still give a reboot a chance, though.

Re: rebooting TV shows
They could have made the Knight Rider reboot cooler enough at least to last longer, instead it was the cheesiest piece of shit in television history. It's like they were trying to fail as miserably as they could. Screw reboots of old TV shows, they ended for a reason. It is a lack of creativity; most of the great TV shows in the past were great because they were original. The X-Files, Seinfeld, The Simpsons, Star Trek, M.A.S.H.(form a movie, I know but still original for TV) were all revolutionary. The successful shows that followed merely adapted what worked, and led to the CSI shows, How I Met Your Mother, Family Guy, Stargate SG1, ER.
What kills me is that networks allow shows to be made like Bionic Women and Knight Rider or whatever reboot which never had a chance, and 'CHUCK' ONLY GETS HALF A SEASON RENEWED????? Ugh, just when I was starting to like current TV shows once again...[/rant]
