Shows you don't want to come back - Let a good thing rest

[Super-Chevy454]

MAD, the Cartoon Network show that aired in 2010 or so. It was based off the magazine. Content-wise, it was basically Robot Chicken for kids, parodying whatever was popular at the time. If the show kept going or was brought back, it would be The Orange Man Bad Show like every other comedy show these days.

I guess if they do a joke about Biden falling off the stairs, one of the writers will get an "accident".

Lost. I have a lot of good memories of this show with my mom when we watched it together and I don't want a woke reboot to ruin these moments, it would make the finale looks good in comparison to an average woke reboot episode.
Chowder, modern Cartoon Network suck ass and can't write a funny series if their lives depend on.
The x shore reality tv series, I can imagine a million of ways that modern woke MTV can fuck up that magnificent trash tv series. It was raw and dumb, bimbos vs himbos fighting, things that in current year can't be made.

The older Cartoon Network shows they haven't ruined yet (i.e., Dexter's Laboratory; Johnny Bravo; Ed, Edd, n' Eddy; etc.). They've already ruined PPG once and they're about to ruin it again.

All three of those I agree with as well.

I could see studio execs turning Dexter into some sort of awful Rick and Morty or Big Bang Theory-esque show. Of course, Dexter was already ruined whenever it was renewed and the colors and characters all looked washed.

For the love of God, if there's ever an Ed, Edd, n' Eddy reboot, don't let Rebecca Sugar play any sort of role in it.

I really wonder how SJWs view Johnny Bravo. I'm sure some say he has "toxic masculinity" for daring to flirt with women, but every single normal woman he spoke to (ie, the ones he had no chance with) beat him up and/or insulted him. Is that not enough for those humorless crybabies?

Avatar as a franchise in general (the cartoon one, not the movie); first one was great, second was mediocre-to-bad, the movie (2010 one) was trash and the comics are crap.
Now Paramount want to create a own "universe", like MCU... is like reviving a corpse all over again to only get killed.

 

[Trans Fat 41g]

I have to throw my hat in on the King of the Hill revival train. It was a product of its time when conservative, conventional parents in animation was already one step away from extinction. If anything, it's on the same list of "problematic" as Dr. Seuss, Beavis and Butthead, and Curious George.

Malcolm in the Middle will never, ever, EVER work in a reboot as its inferior, flattened diet sprite equivalent "The Middle" failed to implement the methods that made MitM work in the first place.

If anything, the show had an anti-toxic masculinity message. Johnny Bravo was a buff, handsome guy, but that didn't mask the fact he had an abhorrent personality and women could smell that from a mile off. It also gave a positive message to schlubby guys that it doesn't matter how good looking you are - if your personality's shit you won't get anywhere.

Dexter. It was so fucking terrible by the time it ended that I can't see any reason as to why they are bringing it back.

Indeed, as shown in this Johnny Bravo parody where he went to the gym.

Looking back, if I really want something specific to not come back as nostalgia, that would be the Back to the Future movies.

Unless you can be creative enough to cast it in a different setting or a retold scene by scene, I can't imagine trying to remake the series to be on par with the originals.

I'm starting to think bringing back Hannibal (tv series) might be a bad idea when they were talking about doing a season 4 which would adapt Silence of the Lambs WITHOUT using the Clarice character. I mean, it could work but to omit that character would defeat the purpose.

Are they seriously bringing back Hannibal? Season 3 was one of the worst non Walking Dead or Dexter related drops in quality that I've ever seen in a TV show.

I liked season 3.

 

[Drag-on Knight 91873]

Battlestar Galactica. NBC wants to make another show but none of the cast and crew of Moore's BSG are involved. It will probably be the "Kurtzman Trek" of Galactica.

I initially read it as Alex Kurtzman will be making another BGS remake. Which is still possible considering all the dicks he's sucked. Honestly, the later two seasons of the remake would be what we would see today; relentlessly grim-dark, nihilistic themes clashing with the religious allegorical aspects of the show, and even bigger, messier space battles.

Now that Jessica Walter has died, I would rather not see Arrested Development come back.

Now that Jessica Walter has died, I would rather not see Arrested Development come back.

Her death's also churned up the harassment allegations against Jeffrey Tambor again, and he hasn't really done anything since those allegations were first brought up anyway. There's no way they'll let him back on the show. No Lucille and no George Sr? Count me out.

 

[Trombonista]

Do people even want Arrested Development back? I heard mixed things about the revival.

 

[Blood Debts]

I’m really not looking forward to the Frasier reboot; the original show ended perfectly, unlike quite a few sitcoms of its time, and doesn’t need its corpse resurrected from its restful slumber. Thinking about a Frasier show without John Mahoney just makes me depressed, and while I’ve heard Kelsey Grammer is pretty based and has had a lot of creative control behind it, releasing it in Current Year means there’s more chance it’ll be apologizing for all the non-PC jokes the show had in the past (Frasier invoking the spirit of a sassy black woman, Frasier fantasizing about accidentally picking up a shemale prostitute and having his reputation ruined, etc.) and adding unnecessary genderspecial/diversity bullshit. If Freddie or David is revealed to be trans I hope Satan saves the writer responsible a seat on the dirty piss-stained bus to Hell.

 

[Juan But Not Forgotten]

Daredevil by Disney or Netflix, doesn't matter. TV-series has a good run, even though it almost took a nosedive in third season, which also ended on a soft-reboot, so making another one is going to destroy what's left and rebooting it as family friendly crap - no, please, no.

 

[Dom Cruise]

Cowboy Bebop. Let it rest in peace.

I wanted more for years but I've since come to the realization that enough time has passed that they could never replicate the look of the original, it'd look too clean and digital and consequently would lose a lot of it's "feel"

That and it really did tell a complete story more or less, which more animes should be willing to do instead of the default "Maybe we'll get to do more?" endings.

The only thing that bothers me is I do feel they did my girl Faye Valentine dirty by leaving her fate up in the air, I do wonder whatever happened to that character, I can see potential in doing a series where's she's the main character, a sort of "Chronicles of Faye" if you will.

The setting itself of Bebop is also an interesting one and I can also see potential in using that setting again but with a new cast of characters, a "Cowboy Bebop: The Next Generation" if you will.

But in both cases you run into the issue with the animation, it's really too bad nothing looks like anime sometimes did in the late 90s anymore.

Sometimes it's probably best to just leave these things well enough alone, otherwise you might wind up with an Eureka Seven AO, which ruined Eureka Seven's happy ending.

The older Cartoon Network shows they haven't ruined yet (i.e., Dexter's Laboratory; Johnny Bravo; Ed, Edd, n' Eddy; etc.). They've already ruined PPG once and they're about to ruin it again.

The only potential I see in bringing back old Cartoon Network stuff is if they did Adult Swim spoofs much like Adult Swim spoofed Hanna Barbera shows, that might be funny, otherwise it should be left well enough alone.

 

[Stab You in the Back]

I don't even know where you could go with a reboot as all the main actors are mostly doing bigger and better things and a remake would simply just fail as it would be the equal of doing a community play version of The Office with everyone just being a cheap knock-off of the characters we know.

A miniseries about corona might be fun, but I don't think we'll see mainstream comedies about corona hysteria while everybody in Hollywood is still under the belief that they'll all die if someone takes off their mask outside.
