10 Times 90s Cinema Tried To Reboot 60s Television (And Failed)

10. Car 54, Where Are You? (1994)

Car 54, Where Are You? was a comedy cop show starring Joe E Ross, Fred Gwynne, Paul Reed, and Al Lewis. Gwynne and Lewis were probably best known for their roles as Herman and Grandpa from The Munsters, which saw its terrible own '90s reboot, albeit on the small screen.

Anywhos, the 1994 film version of Car 54, Where Are You? felt like a bad Police Academy knock-off, which should be enough of an answer as to why it's so awful.

The wacky screwball shenanigans were too juvenile for adults, but its 15 certificate meant it couldn’t be watched by children either, so who knows whom the intended audience was?

To add to the confusion, according to John C McGinley it was originally a musical but after editing only two songs remained. Even a cameo from Al Lewis himself couldn’t stop it from being a flop.
