Shows To Reboot or Revive
I recently began to think of all the reboots, remakes, & revivals, some good, some much too soon. And discovered a long wiki list of cancelled sci-fi & fantasy shows. I decided to make a list of some of my faves, as well as some with really great concepts, that should be considered for a reboot or revival, much like what they did w/Dallas. I may wait to actually watch some more of these before I add more to the list.

- CreatorFrank Mancuso Jr.Larry B. WilliamsStarsLouise RobeyChris WigginsJohn D. LeMayTwo young antique store owners must recover cursed antiques.I think this could perhaps be revived, as the most successful show on my list, it had a timeless quality with an inexhaustible potential for more supernatural hijinks. And hey, maybe it could even tie-in to Warehouse 13, after the fact.
- CreatorJohn LeekleyStarsStacy HaidukErik KingPatrick BauchauJulian Luna, the undead Prince of the City, leads the Vampire Clans as he falls in love with Caitlin, a human reporter.This was actually quite a good series. More diverse, thematic, and thought-provoking than most vampire stories. And often not as campy. There is a lot of potential here.
- CreatorStephen KronishDavid S. GoyerStarsNaomi WattsBruce GreenwoodAbraham BenrubiA high-tech team of dream researches uses experimental computer technology to enter peoples' dreams and nightmares and help them deal with their subconscious issues there.Such an interesting, and creepy, concept. This deserves a chance. I've never even seen it, but really would like a modern-day take on an unusual concept.
- CreatorBrandon CampMike ThompsonStarsDominic PurcellJayne BrookJohn Marshall JonesA man who seems to know everything but his own name helps police solve crimes as he searches for his identity.Ended on a cliffhanger, but was chock full of conspiracy theory goodness.
- CreatorSam HammSam RaimiStarsCarl LumblyRoger ReesChris GartinA paralyzed African-American scientist builds a powerful exo-skeleton in order to walk again, and uses his new abilities to fight crime.They did Black Lightning, so this should also work.
- CreatorDean DevlinRoland EmmerichStarsJohn CorbettGrand L. BushLeon RippyAdam MacArthur, who disappeared 50 years ago in the Bermuda Triangle, has returned to save humanity from destruction. Chased by the government s and aliens who abducted him, he travels across the United States to help people.Cool concept
- CreatorMichael DugganCarol FlintMark LevinStarsDebrah FarentinoClancy BrownSullivan WalkerColonists, crash-landed on an alien planet, begin the long trek to their originally designated landing place, facing alien and human threats.I think I watched this years ago & it ended on a Clifhanger, once again, the dreaded clifhanger of doom.
- CreatorRoderick TaylorStarsSam GroomGretchen CorbettTony O'DellThrown into another dimension, a family must keep ahead of a tyrannical state's hunters while searching for a way home.Maybe you could change the dynamic. Instead of there being a child, which will either slow down the plot b/c everything has to be child-friendly danger or become too bleak.
- CreatorAnthony LawrenceNancy LawrenceStarsJudson ScottRichard LynchE.G. MarshallAn ancient and powerful human-like alien is pursued on modern Earth while he searches for his long lost partner.A very intriguing concept with a lot of potential
- CreatorIsaac AsimovWilliam LinkMichael I. WagnerStarsParker StevensonAshley CrowJon CypherAn eccentric scientific prodigy and his secretary investigate mysteries.Possible Potential
- CreatorHans TobeasonStarsScarlett ChorvatDarius McCraryHolt McCallanyAfter a coup, the US government is taken over by renegade military forces, forcing four people - each of whom had been arrested for treason - to band together and help the resistance return the legitimate government to power.Could be too soon after recent events. But there's also the potential to put a Sci-Fi or supernatural twist on things.
- CreatorPeter O'FallonStarsAdrian PasdarRae Dawn ChongAlisen Richmond-PeckDeclan Dunn is an anthropology professor who believes in miracles and other wonders. When he hears of a miraculous thing he goes out to find out if it's an actual miracle. Peggy Fowler is his friend, a psychiatrist who tries to make sure he's grounded.Adrian Pasdar and Rae Dawn Chong, what's not to like? Maybe they could simply revive it. What are the 2 of them up to now?
