It seems this generation missed it by āthatā much!
Maybe some should have taken advantage of the ācone of silenceā.
What happen to Gilligans Island?
What we really need is a good Perry Mason moment!
Talent that just canāt be reproduced. All the shows, plus, that havenāt been mentioned should never attempt to be brought back. I want to remember them as they were! Anyone attempting to revise these precious shows would be total disrespect!

āJust one more thingā @Buddha-In-The-Sun , if All in the Family were brought back, they would all be arrested and thrown in solitary along with the QAnon Shaman!

Wild West because nothing was too crazy for their stories.

All that is true!! All in the family and the Jefferson gave us a lesson in being tolerant and how to have empathy. Our society/culture has changed. Not for the better.

A-Team! Can you imagine being such a good shot that you get everything done you need to get done with out harming a soul! Incredible! Unlike the storm troopers who couldnāt hit anything ever! Also, Star Trek Next Generation, engage! Avatar The Last Air Bender was good too.
TRUE >> you can watch all most any old tv shows and old movies. I get two tv channels that have : The three stooges, little rascals, the Cisco kid, the rifle man , rawhide and, I watch gun smoke & wagon train, the Andy Griffin show every day. The oldies have a real message and also have big name movie stars just starting out. Gun smoke one of my favs had Burt Reynolds as the black smith. Another reason I like the old westerns is because of the love I have for horses and they are groomed to the tenth.
PS: Iām a old school Guy in a high tech world. I retired from a Design Engineering position, but I like Gun Smoke, maybe cause I never forgot where I came from, started out digging ditches.

Most of these shows are still on in one form or another. Thereās nothing Hollywood loves more than copycatting something successful. The only successful shows/movies which donāt get copied are the ones that were so distinctive or unique, either in premise, cast, or production, that any decent recreation would end up being sued for plagiarism and copyright infringement.
Battlestar Galactica? - Wagon Train in space. (Shows like this go all the way back to Homerās āOdesseyā)
Friends? - Big Bang Theory, Seinfeld.
Paladin? - Leverage, Revenge Inc., The Equalizer, The A-Team, Quantum Leap, etc., maybe even Star Trek.
Honeymooners? - The Flintstones, King of Queens, Two Broke Girls.
Just a few off the top of my head.

They redid this a few years back. I actually liked the remake.
That said, me and my son are working our way through the original series on Netflix.
I didnāt think that the remake was terrible either, but todayās audience wouldnāt bite.
