Adrian Paul for me though always had the acting range of a block of wood which didn't help and I think it became too convoluted with stuff like the watchers, entertaining(especially with some of the guest stars like Roger Daltry) but not great. I actually felt they missed an opportunity not going with a Claudia Christian spinoff there as well, she seemed well suited to that kind of pulp environment whilsts till having some acting chops as in Babylon 5.

The concept definitely has a ton of potential that's arguably never truly been tapped, I mean I love the original film and it does have some effective drama but a lot of its success is IMHO as arguably the best MTV style cinema ever made, mixing elements that shouldn't have worked but somehow did. I must admit I was always hoping someone like Ridley Scott or Nolan would do a big screen remake but I spose you could argue the John Wick films have shown a decent amount of class and if they get the casting right(Dave Batista is looking increasing well suited for the Kurgan) it could work well.

They needed to do a Methos spinoff like everyone pretty much wanted back in 1998 instead of Amanda. That dude was for more interesting with a much longer darker history.
Adrian Paul is a bit too old to play an unaging immortal nowdays. They would have to either reboot it (which they could possibly easily mess up) or add to it from a new characters perspective within the same universe. Of course they would need to be from the Highlands of Scotland, but one from a pictish tribe would count and it would have a history to work with all the way to the BC era. Plus they could then take the character a different route than Duncans boyscout.

Interesting to see who they cast in the film remake, personally I think Fassbender would work pretty well, has that same kind of strangeness to him that Lambert did, arguably why he hasn't been cast much as in standard heroic roles but I think well suited to this role.

 

[badascan]

Unsolved mysteries and WIld and Crazy Kids... and Nick arcade...

 

[Cherry Brigand]

But do you start it before or after the movie?

I would say before...but they would never be able to recapture the magic...

The Simpson
Family guy
Seinfield of course
SOA

So you want two shows that are still going on to be revived?

[strongstylekarate]

Baywatch

Knight Rider

Starsky and Hutch

The new MacGyver sucks.

 

[strongstylekarate]

None. They’ll just figure out a way to ruin it.

U have to agree with you.

the new MacGyver sucks.

- Oz

Transformers - make it like the original cartoon
GI Joe - only make it more hardcore. There was a trailer released years ago that implied they were going to do that, with more realistic fighting and Snake Eyes actually killing a guy, but then that was the last i heard of it.

Did you ever see the GI Joe: Resolute short animated film Warren Ellis wrote? That was pretty hardcore, I could have done with a full series of that.

 

[Ignicious]

Titus
OZ
Drawn Together
Two guys, a girl & a pizzaplace

 

[Joe_Armstrong]

Dark Matter

 

[90 50]

Dark Matter

I thought it was still on?

I lost track of it with kill joys and expanse taking up my sci fi free tv time

 

[Lights Out 101]

SEINFELD

There's a whole twitter page dedicated to potential seinfeld plots set in moden day. It would still be as great today as it was in the 90's.

I think Fassbender would be great for Connor.
