Old shows you wanna see rebooted

Post by REPO Man »

I'll go first:

Image
Then: Primetime Sitcom
My concept: Animated dramedy (in the tradition of "As Told By Ginger"), mixing family-friendly dramedies (Secret Life of an American Teenager) and the sitcom counterparts (Reba)

Potential Cast:

* Sharon Gless (Cagney and Lacey, Queer as Folk (US), Burn Notice) as Edna Garrett
* Nikki Blonski(sic?) (Hairspray (2007)) as Natalie Green
* Cree Summer or Amber Riley as Tootie Ramsay
* Leighton Meester (Gossip Girl, The Roommate, Drive Thru) or Dianna Agron as Blair Warner (not to be confused with the OTHER Blair W she played)
* E.G. Daily (aka Elizabeth Daily) or Lori Petty or Kat Dennings as Jo Polniaczek
OTHER CASTING CHOICES TBD

Why animated? Makes the casting easier, same with recasting (God forbid). Also, it's a lot harder working with real-life minors due to child labor laws.

Then: Animated
Now: Film tetrology w/ cartoon and misc media (books, comics, games) tie-ins

Potential Cast (films):

* Dianna Agron as Jerrica/Jem
* Chloe Moretz as Kimber
* ??? as Shana
* Ellen Wong or Yin Chang as Aja
* Naya Rivera as Raya
* Idina Menzel as Synergy and Jacqui Benton (flashbacks)
* William H. Macy as Emmett Benton (flashbacks)
* unknown actors as child characters (Starlight Girls)
* ??? as Laura Holloway
* ??? as Countess Du Voisin
* Lady GaGa as Giselle "Danse" Dvorak
* ??? as Regine Cesaire
* ??? as Anthony Julian
* ??? as Astral
* Chace Crawford as Rio
* ??? as Craig Phillips
* ??? as Jeff Wright
* ??? as Sean Harrison
* Beth Behrs as Video
* ??? as Lin-Z Pierce
* Jane Lynch as Harriet Horn
* Amanda Bynes as Pizzazz
* Blake Lively as Roxy
* Katy Perry as Stormer
* ??? as Jetta
* Christian Campbell as Eric Raymond
* ??? as Techrat
* Kat Dennings as Clash
* Paul Sorvino as Harvey Gabor
* Chord Overstreet as Riot
* Taylor Momsen as Minx
* Michelle Trachtenberg(sic?) as Rapture
* Rami Malek as Armand, an OC who serves as the drummer for The Stingers, as well as their chief roadie, video director, label liaison, fashion consultant, et al.

Potential cast (cartoon): TBD

Sick of reboots in general so I think I'll just say "none."

Hmm, I just don't think Halal's Heroes would catch on.

Yeah...

I mean, my favorite show is Seinfeld and a reboot certainly wouldn't work. The show is defined by "the 90s" and the actors are irreplaceable.

As horrible as it sounds, an Apatow written MARRIED WITH CHILDREN reboot starring Paul Rudd would make Wells Fargo bank.

DOUBLE DARE

COLUMBO. Zero idea who could top Falk is quite the caveat though.

MY NAME IS EARL. Bring 'em all back.

YOU BET YOUR LIFE...only if it is on HBO and LCK is the host.

MST3K. Nuff said.

SERIOUS EATS. Without the arrogance.

Anything Tex Avery inspired in an animated medium.

That Rob Dyrdeck(sp ?) show where he wasn't a jerk.

YOU CAN'T DO THAT ON TELEVISION

A current take on M*A*S*H

GOLDEN GIRLS starring Betty White, Joan Rivers, That Kardashian lady, and some other old chick.

AMERICAN GLADIATORS!!! Why knots?

TYLER PERRY'S HOUSE OF PAYNE. A perfectly perfect "we're a cheesy sitcom, but ended on a serious note" show.

FRIENDS. The show centers around the actors sitting around, maybe doing an advert, and making money. But it is th!e cast of friends, so it is awesome.

THE TICK: ANIMATED AND LIVE ACTION.

Bucky O'Hare And The Toad Wars

The Wild West COWboys Of Moo Mesa

Mighty Max

The Storyteller

BattleStar Galactica, because the last reboot sucked.

Earth 2

Seaquest DSV
