Reboots, remakes, and re-imaginings have never been exclusive to films. Television has often drawn from that well, taking an old concept and rehashing it to draw in a new crowd while appealing to fans of the original. Sometimes its wildly successful and sometimes it falls flat on its face. Like with film remakes, audiences often question why a network would take a beloved show and ruin it by re-imagining it to what they consider 'hip' or, rather, 'marketable.' Audiences are still baffled as to why someone thought Stuart Townsend could fill Darren McGavins shoes as Kolchak in the revived Night Stalker series that was canceled after six episodes. A reboot of Charlies Angels suffered a similar fate with a critical and ratings failure so bad people forget they even attempted a reboot in the first place. Then there are shows like Battlestar Galactica that prove that 'reboot' isnt always synonymous with 'garbage.' With a look and tone that reflected how far special effects and storytelling have come, many regard the re-imagined Galactica as superior to its 1978 predecessor. Sometimes a remake works, and works very well. No one can predict when or why an audience will respond to a reboot with open arms. In some cases a show is fondly remembered for its ambition but ultimately canceled due to its limitations. In other cases, an idea is timeless and can act as a mirror to current events regardless of its previous incarnations. They just need a fresh perspective here and there. Here are some television shows that could really go for a 21st century-flavoured shot in the arm.
