DISCUSSION: What Comedy Reboot Do You Want To See Next?

[djgeneral]

After the massive success of the Roseanne reboot last night, you can be assured that Hollywood is scrambling right now to get another reboot ready to be announced for the upcoming upfronts in May. The only question is: what is next?

For the purpose of this poll, I only included comedies. I also only included shows where their final episode aired no later than December 31, 2012.

Futhermore, I wanted to make it realistic so I only included shows in which most of the actors are still alive/active in Hollywood. Let's pretend that there is no bad blood between cast members - I know some shows on here have actors who may not like each other, but let's pretend that money talks

These are often a lot of the most requested, so here they are.

I did not include shows that had spin-offs already, potential movies, blacklisted actors (Cosby), etc.

I'd be down for a Seinfeld or Home Improvement revival, although the latter seems unlikely considering how ABC recently treated Tim Allen and his last show. The Wonder Years would be interesting, too, but I'd miss the dad since the series finale revealed he died sometime in the '70s.

I could see a reboot of https://www.blu-ray.com/Perfect-Strangers/254876/ do well. It would have to be different than the original which showed the contrast between a free spirited foreign cousin and his uptight yuppie American cousin.
However, it could be topical to have a foreign cousin possibly with immigration issues live with his conservative American cousin.

Family Matters being relegated to 'OTHER'. Disgusting. Delete this thread!

ABC might give Tim more leeway now. If ABC offered Tim a nice pay increase, and all the original cast - and maybe even some roles for his LMS co-stars (which I would love) - I'm sure he would jump at this.

Family Ties

Growing Pains

[Optimus-Prime-Rox]

Cheers
Night Court
ALF
Life Goes On
Sanford & Son

Home Improvement. Tim Allen has said he is open to the idea of a revival/reboot of the show

[jokerzwild]

Night Court, any character could be brought back believably. NY (and the world) is different enough that things could be different enough from the original to be interesting while keeping some nostalgia.

Malcolm in Middle is always the first one I think of.

Pretty much everyone from the cast is in favor of it outside of the actor that plays Dewey.

It'd also be cool to see Cranston go back to the role now that he's such a well regarded serious actor.

[Jonno2009]

No options for none of the above?

Unless they change the multi cam laugh track formula that's been done to death then i don't want to see ANY sitcom reboots. Even ones that i truly love like Seinfeld and Friends. Back then it was a different time and it made sense for the time.

But in 2018? i find it personally so outdated. I saw a glimpse of Roseanne last night while eating and boy was it awful.

Freaks and Geeks I think would be the most interesting given how short-lived the show was, and the fact that the characters were teenagers on the show but would be in their mid-thirties now.

They would be in their 50's now

I would've said Frasier, but after John Mahoney passed away it would be too sad.
I'd love to see back Friends, The Nanny and Mad About You.

[D00mM4r1n3]

If the rest of the world would come back around to enjoying stereotype humor I would want a 227 reboot. There's plenty for a pair of wise-cracking housewives sitting out in front of an apartment building to riff off of. Section-8 vouchers, sagging pants, yoga pants, crooked politicians (never changes) and legalized marijuana, the list goes on...

A Mad About You revival is currently in development, according to Paul Reiser.

[InuYashaCrusade]

Malcolm in the Middle would be sweet, I've been rewatching it on Hulu lately.

I think I'd like to see a Fawlty Towers reunion. It could be a total trainwreck but gawd, that was a great show.

I also wonder how Dharma and Greg might play these days.

Yeah, talk about having high expectations to live up to. Haha! I don't know if they'd ever be able to pull it off but some of these recent revivals have really surprised me, so who knows?
