NBC is remaking "Remington Steele" as a comedy - Page 2 - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Instead of always trying to remake shows why don't they just show the originals.

It seems like all they do is remake old shows.

Have all the writers brains completely dried up that they can't create new shows that people will actually like?

Frankly I'm sick of the movie and TV remakes. They suck.
They know that less people watch TV now, more watch DVD's of classic shows, channels like Antenna TV, Me TV etc, that says a lot about what millions want but they keep giving us reality and crap. Not everyone enjoys the current TV programing. I'm in my 30's and hate it.

There needs to be a balance! We should be offered family friendly shows that adults and children enjoy. And NO I don't like ABC Family! I am far from a prude but I personally feel the sitcoms today are just crude!

This is almost funny but then again it's too pathetic to be funny. Failure is written all over this one. In fact, I'm hoping it does fail.

NBC is going to be labeled "Lame-Duck" again!

Why can't anyone make an original show anymore?

This sounds promising from what I read so far. I was always secretly hoping for some sort of return whether it be a reunion/remake.

Maybe Stephanie Zimbalist or Doris Roberts will guest star. James Read would also be a good candidate (he played Murphy the detective who had a crush on Laura in season 1).
