OK what "vintage" TV Show(or Movie) would you like to be seen re-made and why, who should Star?

Ok I'll start: I would like to see a re-make of the TV Series "Emergency".

[wally_bert]

With some sensible re-writing and modern effects, 1999 would work. Don’t change the external appearances of the Eagles.

Gilligan's Island

Skipper - Bob Beckel
Gilligan - Algore
Professor - John Bolton
Thurston Howell - John Kerry
Mrs. Howell - Barbra Streissand
Ginger - Elisabeth Hasselback
Mary Anne - Angie Harmon

On the first episode, Bolton, Hasselback, and Harmon secede from the island and create a tax-free capitalistic haven where all entrepreneurs come to park their money. The others continue to blame Bush for their plight and work on a scheme where they get to tax the success of the other three.

Rat Patrol - the greatest show of all time.

That footage of the crash was real, and the pilot survived. It was a Lifting Body Reentry Vehicle.

Yeah, all the other characters are new versions of the old ones. Ed Asner was a stunt which they pulled off quite well. (And I think he was arrested by Steve's father, who was a cop, but not Five-0 because it didn't exist yet).

As for the suits, they made jokes at the beginning of the series because Danny wore a tie because he's a transplant from NJ, where you wear a jacket and tie.

Have Gun, Will Travel, and the star should be Daniel Craig as Paladin. Wire San Francisco.

[wally_bert]

How about Cannon or Barnaby Jones?

[LRoggy]

My college won that in 1962! Hobart rules!

Where’s Herb?

“I Dream of Jeannie” starring Scarlett Johansson as Jeannie, Channing Tatum as Maj. Nelson and Justin Bieber as Maj. Healy....

[Jack Deth]

Good one, Perdogg!

I’d opt for ‘Combat!’ with:

Max Martini (”Dirt Diver” from ‘The Unit’) as Sgt. Saunders.
Jim Caviezel as Lt. Hanley.
Chris Kane (”Eliot” from ‘Leverage’) as Kirby.
Michael Culditz as Little John and
Taylor Kitsch as Caje.

Or go even farther back with ‘Peter Gunn’ with:

Mark Sheppard as Peter Gunn and
Dennis Farina as Detective Lieutenant Jackoby.

I wish somehow they could bring back, The Benny Hill Show.

[Kevmo]

I forgot I Spy

Speed Racer
Ultraman
Superman
Spiderman
Gunsmoke
The Rifleman
The Ponderosa (Hey, they tried that, and it was a sickening politically correct POS. So if all of these others are gonna be like that, then fuggedaboutit.)

[Revolting cat!]

Fernwood 2-Nite with Martin Mull and Fred Willard.

[Sirius Lee]

Gerry Anderson’s “UFO” starring Jason Statham as Commander Straker and Jenna Louis Colema as Lt. Ellis.
