And now for something different == and not political

I wish I understood the trend for networks  to remake old TV shows that were wonderful back in their day?

Battlestar Galactica. Charlie's Angels. Wonder Woman. Knight Rider. Hawaii 5-0. And I just saw that NBC is premiering a 're-image' of "Ironside".

*Sigh*

Is there a total lack of ideas in Hollywood these days? All they can do it 're-image' old ideas. Ideas that don't need to be re-imaged.

Find a new story. Use your own imagination, don't steal someone else's hard work.

I haven't watched any of the new re-imaged shows. I prefer to remember the originals.

If you're going to use the originals, make them continuations of some kind. Like Dallas. Using the original characters is a short cut. One that's not necessary.

I know that there are people out there who will say the new shows are wonderful. And some of them have done well.

To me, the only Robert Ironside is Raymond Burr. Same with Steve McGarrett. He will always be Jack Lord. And Adama will always be Lorne Greene.

I could go on, but I think I've made my point. Yeah, I don't like change. But change for the SAKE of change is even worse!

Go find your own ideas. Unless you're a writer of fanfiction (and not making any money from your work), using others ideas is wrong.

Off my idea soapbox now.
