As If Remaking Movies Werent Enough! - Lilith - 05-23-2010
As if remaking movies werent enough! Now, they are remaking our television shows to! I know they kind of already been doing it as it is...but now with the latest news i have heard, we have some others coming to our tvs soon! Like Hawaii 5-0 coming soon! But the track record for these types of remakes arent any better then the movies being remade. 90210 & Melrose Place remakes both bombed...so lets see how this little trend pans out!

Some remakes are far better than the originals (ie: Star Trek: TNG)... I don't know... I even liked the new Fantasy Island with Malcome McDowell and I even liked "Love Boat: The Next Generation". Even the new Dark Shadows and Twilight Zones were worth watching..... Depends if they half-ass it (ie: The New Munsters) or actually put thought and work into it.......

o.0 Remakes can be good... but why remake a show?

I think people are running out of original ideas. So they look to the classics and now good shows to bring back thinking they are going to be just as big of a hit as the original. Which in most cases has proven to be wrong. Thats my opinion of it.

I've never watched Hawaii 5-O and 90210 & Melrose Place but this is what happens when Hollywood runs out of ideas.

I probably should be ashamed to admit it but I like the remake of 90210:angelsad2:--I know what you're thinking,Mytee how ccould you watch such dreck-just a guitly pleasure of mine-and Hawaii 5-0 isnt too bad

Hollywood hasn't run out of ideas. They just don't want to spend money on original stuff and take the chances of it bombing. At least with a remake you got the upper hand with it already being well know and liked.
As If Remaking Movies Werent Enough! - FreddysFingers - 10-27-2010
Sadly, Blue is right.
As If Remaking Movies Werent Enough! - Dr. Briggs - 10-27-2010
Yes he is indeed. I don't know if it was always quite like this, but Hollywood is made up of demographically obsessed chickenshits right now.
As If Remaking Movies Werent Enough! - FreddysFingers - 10-27-2010
I don't think it was like that. Combined with the chickenshits that run the studio, they are basing their assumptions on the general audience. The majority of American's don't want to see anything that original but rather the same old shit. The audience themselves doesn't want to take a chance with something new because they don't want to spend the money and end up hating it. You can argue that the studios are acting that way because of the viewers and the economy.
