@taniwharugby see, of all of those, i reckon you could do something pretty cool with The Greatest American Hero, especially given the prevalence of Superhero movies and TV shows today. Tie in the presence of social media, the rise of the SJW, and you could make a very good social commentary.

@mariner4life well they re-did CHIPS & Baywatch into movies...

I've not watched either.

Yeah GAH was cheesy AF, so I reckon they'd ruin it by being more clean PC or take out humour all together

@taniwharugby dark is not necessary good.

Yes, thank you modern day Disney. Some of us wanted the Ewoks to lose and Luke to join the Dark Side...

They already did this in the 2000s. I think it lasted 1 season and they even screwed up the (classic) starting song.

Without even Googling I'm going to assume that the Mcgyver reboot was a flop.

@Rancid-Schnitzel I saw the movie, Kitt was a 57 Chevy and it was bad. Not even so bad it's funny, just really really bad.

My youngest is obsessed with cars and has a picture of the original Kitt on his wall. He watched the opening sequence for the remade series on YouTube and was profoundly disgusted.

Street Hawk had a great fucking intro. Tangerine Dream baby.

@Rancid-Schnitzel Hell yes, dude.

I love how they held hand guns in the 80s

@Tim do you remember Automan?

I'm surprised ABC aired more than one episode...

I take it back, this isn't the golden age of television, the 80s was.

Where is the explanatory voice-over now?

Tim

@jegga I vaguely remember watching an episode in a motel in Rotorua.

I remember it being so shit we didn't even talk about it at school the day after it screened, unlike say the A team .

@Rancid-Schnitzel This was the movie, it was on Sky back when their only competition was the video store and they screened straight to video movies along with a few decent ones.
