Ok, so we have had several threads here discussing reboots that are either excellent and long in the coming, or ones that are unwelcome and destined to TV suckdom.

So... what shows do YOU think SHOULD be rebooted?

I'll start off with Diff'rent Strokes.  8)

Another reboot I'd like to see is Kung Fu.

Name one reboot that superior to the original?

M*A*S*H

Granted it was a TV show rebooting a movie, but it was far more popular.

Also the reboot of Battlestar Gigantica back in '04-'09 was awesome, and it ran longer than the original.

Sorry, but Different Strokes just cannot be rebooted because it's going to be difficult to have the actors that will be able to portray the actors in the original sitcom.

Well, in that case, I think VH1 should reboot the I Love the 90s mini-series. You could tell the first one from 2005 was put together by 80s fans because they made the 90s appear as if it were the blandest time for all of us on earth. America deserves a better edition of the mini-series for people who love the 1990s.

Here’s the topics I would include in each year of the early 90s:

1990

- Michael Bolton’s “How Am I Supposed to Live Without You”

- Amy Grant’s “Baby Baby”
