TV show remakes
- Thread starter Bumblebee
- Start date
There’s only a handful of shows that I watch that have commercials. I record them and FF thru the ads. I’m more into old movies. Better production, direction and acting.
When my grand daughter visits, she gets excited about commercials especially near Christmas...both her parents don't have TV as they use Netflix
I don't mind commercials as when they are on I can do other things..

It couldn't help but be better the second time around. I used to watch that show with my mom every week. It was terrible.
I know, makes me really wonder why they would remake such a show..

It seems this generation has zero imagination...remaking music, TV shows and music...
To revisit my own thread......
My wife and I were talking last night and we listed all the remakes and there are a lot of them....
Hard to beat the original.
But I guess this generation never knew the original so it's new to them.....kind of like music...
Everything that can be sung about has been sung about and we've had every movie about everything possible so it must be a real challenge to put a different swing on the same old same old....

Bi. Is it true? That the new Waker will be a trans person.
Michael could you put your homophobia aside for 10 minutes? Never mind, I knew the answer as I was asking it. Be you, and I'll be me.
WTH is a waker?

Hi. I left the l out Walker
I never heard anything about this....but nobody can replace Chuck Norris now can they......?
I look at all the other shows they have made remakes of and honestly have not had any desire to watch any of them....I like to remember them the way they were.

eventually the bored people will get to your old thread and bring it back
Great thread. Can’t think of any TV show remakes that are better, but movies, I can think of a few. I liked the Coen Brothers retake on True Grit, all respects to the Duke. Jeff Bridges and of course Hailee Steinfeld as the girl both nailed it. I thought the latest Doom was better too, but some will argue that none of them are good lol.
When it comes to the Duke, I'm a purist and don't think that should have been remade.
I did think the remake of 3:10 to Yuma was good though
I never watched any of the TV remakes-Magnum PI, Hawaii 5-0, Walker, Battle Star Galactica, etc....the originals were good-too good to be reimagined.
Some other shows have been remade so many times that it's hard to nail them all down....movies like "The Alamo, King Kong, the Magnificent Seven, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" for instance....
The remake of "Ghostbusters" with an all female cast was a bust.....there was nothing wrong with the first two and it didn't need to be remade.....now if they would have called it number 3 in the trilogy and identified the ladies as the daughters of the originals it would have flown a lot better....
I'll admit I love Coen Brothers movies and Jeff Bridges...
The book is REALLY good too
"You're not wrong, Walter, you're just an a$$hole" in the Big Labowski is still one of my favorite movie lines lll.

Steinfeld, age 13 playing a 14 year old was certainly better than Darby, age 21 but Damon was just barely better than Campbell and Campbell was awful. Acting was not forte. Rooster was ‘around’ 40 but both actors portraying him were in their 60s.
Then we get the other side of the coin of all the TV shows that couldn't be remade...
All in the family, The Jeffersons, Married with Children, etc, etc, etc.......
One quote from Married with Children from an episode I watched last night "Pretty women make us want to buy beer, ugly women make us want to drink beer..." This was derived from the neighbor Marcie asking Al how a pretty woman needs to be in a beer commercial......
