Check your sarcasm detector, Tati. It may be on the fritz.
Not Funny!
A reboot of The Avengers along the lines of the new Dr Who could be fun. [ahem] Kelly Brook as Emma Peel, please. [/ahem]
The one show I would have liked to have seen remade they already did, and it crashed and burned* – Fantasy Island.
*Not that it was bad, I really liked the much darker and more overtly magical tone it had, it just failed in the ratings.

I think that the failure of the quite terrible movie will prevent this reboot from ever happening.
DARK ANGEL. Third world America doesn’t seem so far fetched these days

I really liked the most recent Fantasy Island also. I agree that the darker and darkly humourous mixture was fun. And McDowell was great to watch as Roarke.
I think this kind of show needs to be brought back, in general.
Another show they tried to bring back that failed, but I think has the potential to be great if executed correctly - Kolchak, the Nightstalker.
*Edited to add*
Just read the synopsis of Malcolm McDowell’s Fantasy Island, and it reminded me of another short-lived show I’d like to see brought back and redone - Nightmare Cafe.
KUNG FU. This time with Mark Dacascos please.

For shame, my friend.
I’d like to see Dark Shadows brought back for the small screen. I was quite into the remake in the 90’s when it abruptly stopped.

Seconded. ANYTHING to get him off of that Iron Chef gig and back to kicking ass.

Okay, I like this idea. I would watch the hell out of it.
Wasn’t it Mark Decascos who was in that Crow TV series that came out a few years back?
“Voyagers!”, man.
Just don’t let the star play with prop guns.

Yes. I actually liked that to tell the truth.

I only watched an episode here and there, but didn’t hate what I watched. I dunno why I never tried to get into the show.
NightMan - shot for shot!
Seriously, how great of a synopsis is this? “After lightning strikes saxophonist Johnny Domino, he finds he is telepathically tuned to the frequency of evil.”

Wait…so no one else here except me remembers the U.S. Red Dwarf remake pilot from the early '90s, starring the original Kryten and a pre-DS9 Terry Farrell as the Cat?

Oh, I remember…
Trying so hard to forget.
Yep I even remember Red Dwarf magazine trying to pass it off as good.
Still it could be done right.
