Leave It To Beaver but set back in the 50-60’s and not with a contemporaneous update.

The intro to the Six Million Dollar Man was probably the best intro to a show ever, IMO. “Steve Austin, astronaut, a man barely alive... We can re-build him...” Totally mesmerized me when I was a kid watching this.

Petrocelli with Mark Levin as the star, going after corrupt liberal politicians.

Friday Night Lights with Obama as Buddy Garrity

Get Smart - keep the same cast. Barbara Feldman is still a babe . . .

Only bad ones. Remakes of good stuff always turn out bad, but remakes of bad stuff often turn out better.

I'm not keen on remakes much at all. Usually they just take shows with manly heroes and replace them with unshaven metrosexuals.

The Spike Jones Show. Get Al Yankovic for the bandleader!

The Honeymooners. Chris Cristie as Ralph, Bloomberg as Norton. Helen as Alice.

I Dream of Genie might be fun too.

Bonanza and Little House on the Prairie

No way would those shows survive today's producers.

Bonanza would have a gay cowboy son introduced and the general store in Little House would be run by persecuted lesbian couple and their adopted children that the evil backwards Ingles made fun of showing their cruelty.

Magnum PI.

Dunno who should play the roles, Tom Selleck could not be replaced by any of the current metrosexual gen-x/y/z types I see my wife watching on TV.

Miami Vice, with the same comments.

“Absolutely true! John Gage would spend each episode sitting on a waiting list while minorities and women with half his Civil Service score went to the academy.” TRUE here is the LA County Fire Dept of today:

Back then, Adam-12 was the most realistic cop show when it was on from 68-75

That’s because these days they remake good stuff badly. Back in the early days of Hollywood they tended to remake bad stuff trying to figure out what they screwed up. The version of Maltese Falcon with Bogie was the 3rd time they made that book into a movie in 10 years, the first 2 stank, then they got it right and stopped screwing with it.

And Joe Biden (in blackface) playing Lightning.

I'll go with Wiki on this;
Barak (/ˈbɛəræk/ or /ˈbɛərək/;[1] Hebrew: בָּרָק, Tiberian: Bārāq, "Lightning; Shine", Greek: βαρακ), Al-Burāq (Arabic: البُراق‎ al-Burāq "lightning")

Barbara Feldon was recently back in town for a speaking engagement. And considering she’s 80, did not look too shabby at all.

Likewise Barbara Eden donned the Jeannie outfit for a charity fundraiser last weekend, and could still pull it off at 78.
