Echo Screen #13: TV Remakes

In part 2 of a series on remakes in popular media, the guys take some time to ponder the TV show updates they'd most like to see... in addition to celebrating the best and painfully recalling the worst that have already been made. Why was Battlestar Ga-remake-tica so popular? Should they ever revamp Seinfeld? And what series made Boomer's massive "most wanted remakes" list? Sit down and grab your TV dinner while the Clan of the Gray Wolf tackles television remakes!

In this episode:
   0:00 - Intro & Why so many TV shows are being remade
   12:00 - Successful remakes
   25:00 - Not so successful remakes
   32:00 - Remakes we'd like to see
   41:30 - Remakes we don't want to see

 Great as always guys! Can't wait for the video game remakes one hehe. Now if you excuse me I'm hangover again and need to go to a street full of prostitutes where I had pre ordered Starcraft 2 (true story) 

Keep it up!

As a proud Canadian, your comments at the end of the video offend me.

Once I'm done patching up that hole in the roof of the igloo and hunting polar bears with hockey pucks I intend on calling the full force of our Navy down upon you all. That's right... all three canoes and BOTH paintball guns.

And now, as a bonus I will spell some words properly.

Colour

Aboot

and GREY

Good Podcast fellas ;)

Great podcast.  But I thought we already discussed who would play Zummi Bear if they remade Gummy bears.  I mean seriously, cant get any better than Christopher Loyd.

Dragon: Yes, I can fully get behind Chistopher Lloyd as Zummi.  Unfortunately, we recorded this podcast before the last one was released, so we didn't incorporate that awesome idea just yet...

ZombiePaul: Oh no!  Not both paintball guns, eh? 

But seriously though, Kate from "Lost" is hot.  Your country did good there.

You should be more ashamed of Brian Adams...

Arkus: We are... so much that we just avoid mentioning it's name (yes, "it") and I'll thank you not to bring it up again.

We're about as embarssased about Ben as you guys probably are about Tanya Harding.  i.e.: no one cares anymore.

This is one of my favorite podcasts. Helps me focus while I code MUGEN characters. You guys rock. Keep up the good  work.

Re: Echo Screen #13: TV Remakes

I want to see a new Freaks & Geeks-- and it did run an entire season. Not to mention, a new Hercules/Xena show. Salute Your Shorts, The Adventures of Pete & Pete, and yes, the queen mother-- Quantum Leap.

I may also get a bit of flak for this one, but I'd also like to see a new Power Rangers show, but not a flat-out Haim Saban show. Keep it in the same vein as Smallville. A darker "teen" drama. But with a hell of a lot better writing than Smallville. I can see it being a lot like Supernatural.

A friend of mine wants more Sea Quest. I never understood her like for that show.

As far as I recall, Canada has already apologised for Bryan Adams many times.
