The Andy Griffith Show starring Greg Gutfeld as Andy and Tyrus in the role of Barney Fife. 

I actually had an idea for a Andy Griffith spinoff. It wouldn't be a remake with the same characters. But similar characters, taking place in Mayberry. A twist I'd throw on it is swap the "Andy" and "Barney" roles. Where the Sheriff is the bumbling idiot, and his wiser deputy is the one that always has to clean up after him.

The Office  (heard they considered it)

 

and somehow get Steve Carell to play the Michael Scott role again (I know it won’t happen, but it would be amazing).

Taxi

St. Elsewhere

E.R.

Two and a Half Men WITH Charlie Sheen

 

I gotta say .... I think the Connors (Roseanne) is very, very good.  And way funnier than it ever was with Roseanne Barrnold.

I liked Taxi a lot as well even though it was before my time.

 

I don’t know how some of those skits would work in the modern world though.  Like when Louie would charge the cabbies money for messages.  The pre cell phone world!

When the ABC TV Network cancelled the series after 6 episodes, ABC entertainment president Tony Thomopoulos claimed it was because "the viewer had to watch it in order to appreciate it." TV Guide magazine would condemn that statement as "The most stupid reason a network ever gave for ending a series.

 

 

My God was that awesome. My kind of humor there. So difficult to follow, yet so funny.

Fantasy Island - Bills style.

 

Instead of Tattoo running up the tower to ring the bell and yell "Za plane! Za plane!", we'll get Flutie to run to the top of the stadium, blow the horn and yell "Za RV! Za RV!" 

 

Fitz could play the role of Mr. Roarke.

 

In episode 1, Norwood drills it down the middle.

Married WIth Children but I'm almost certain it would suck and be nothing close to the original in today's PC climate

I think too many people believe things to be much worse then they are today. If you re-watch some of the old Married with Children episodes, they actually seem to be tamer then you would think. The most backlash it might face would be from feminist groups attacking it for the Nuddie bar. There wasn't too much that would be deemed 'Offensive'

Yeah real great... They can all sit around the garage waiting for one person to call while Uber & Lyft  cannibalize their fares.  LoL... 

 

That one person would be my wife because she doesnt want to load an Uber App.  That's one hell of a boring cab ride to the Walden Galleria Mall.  True story, last visit, the son and I were skiing and had the truck... She needed a lift to the mall and called a cab!  She had to tell the cabbie how to get there... He said: "Lady, I only take people to the airport."  LMAO

 

Riveting TV, a "Taxi" reboot in 2019 Uber Age.  Just reboot it: "Uber" and cut to @Gugny 's garage.  /smh...

A movie review show like "Siskel and Ebert." They are both gone but I'd like to see another show like that with the same format and two reviewers that work good together like they did.

Switching channels I caught some reruns on Logo which is actually the gay channel ironically.  It’s weird how a lot of that material seems tame today but still could never make it today

Firefly.  

I don’t know.  The actors that made that soar are too ingrained in my memory to consider anyone else in the roles.  Fillion has been quoted as saying if he ever hit a gold mine, he would like to revive the series.  This to me is definitely a ‘revisit’ as opposed to a reboot.

Babylon 5

A very enjoyable series.  I always liked JMS envisioned the five year story arc, and kept to it.  Sadly, it would have to be a reboot, too damn many actors from the original are now gone.
