what about Bewitched ... that one might make for a good update

I know this sounds silly but I wouldn't mind seeing a remake of The Waltons. But I bet that one would be hard to do.

inre: Designing Women ...update already done: Golden Girls

I liked Mash
and Taxi

When I google classic tv that's what I get

I'm with ya on Mash. That was a great show. I never watched Taxi.

I haven't chosen the actors yet. But it could be good, if they stick to the old formula.

Batman is my second choice, the sixties-style campy Batman.

that we are getting Ironside. The original was pretty good. We'll see about the update.

Great ensemble. Well written. I never missed an episode.

I liked it myself but he was a huge fan.

Part of me doesn't want them to F around with that classic.

BUT, another part of me, even when the show was airing, wanted them to do it not with the same actor each show but bring in a different guest star to play the part of the "leaper." Probably need to have one random guy to be the face of the leaper at the beginning and when they did back story, but if he leaps into the body of sexy woman, then get Megan Fox (or whomever) to guest star that week. Less options for the comic moments of someone having to deal with things they have no experience with but would be cool.

OR, you could do the same concept with a reboot of Charlie Chan: Master of Disguise.

Not a reboot, just finish the damn thing properly. I will never forgive HBO for that travesty. Sadly, it will never happen now. And Milch went on to do the excellent John from Cincinnati .

It might actually already be rebooted in HBO's The Newsroom, the first episode of which I just watched. I'm hoping it takes the high road as Lou Grant did.

My other choices:

The Paper Chase, though it would be difficult without the great John Houseman.

Mannix. What happened to the private eye genre?

Though not technically a reboot, I'm ready for another Star Trek version too.

Gandolfini and the show can rest in peace.

like a 'reboot' of a classic TV series is that it would be an almost guarantee that a fan of the original would be greatly disappointed by the remake.

reminds me of a family story. Long before I was born, my father had some friends of the family (little boys) convinced that he was Paladin. My dad has a big nose and back then he had a black mustache. I guess there was a resemblance to Richard Boone.

Did any of those little boys believe that Paladin's first name was "Wire"?

(I'll let that one hang out there for a moment.)

I was in grad school years later, having lunch with some friends one day, and the subject of "Have Gun Will Travel" came up. One guy admitted to believing Paladin's first name was "Wire" when he was a kid---and the rest of us admitted to the same. Hey, it was on his freaking business card.

Great show---and not a chance in hell that anybody could re-do it anywhere near as well as Richard Boone did.....

of his first name never came up. I saw my first episode within the last couple of years on cable. I also bought a DVD of Wanted: Dead or Alive with Steve McQueen. Now my 81 year old father wants a Mare's Leg. I told him they were illegal (mostly).
