80's Remakes

[VaporTrailx1]

Ok. Since there's already Battlestar Galactica, Knightrider,and most likely an A-Team series on the way I think they should bring back Airwolf. With CGI and good writing I think it could work out pretty well. But I don't think they'll ever do it.

Airwolf dammit.

[executioneer]

what do you want to bet there's gonna be some shitty cgi thundercats movie in production in the next two years

[VaporTrailx1]

It's set for a summer '10 release. Snarf Snarf!

[executioneer]

oh for fucks fucking sake, i gotta stop saying shit like that because it's liable to become truth >:

[wislingsailsmen]

they should remake the quantom leap series

[Boo_penguin]

We want ALF back.

[J. Tithonus Pednaud]

Quantum Leap would be cool. I know there was a pilot made a few years back that was a continuation, not a remake.

This is news to me ... Same with that stuff about Air Wolf.
Loved both those shows, but a part of me hopes they stay where they are. Remakes are rarely ever as good as the originals, and there will always be things changed around to fit today more than yesteryear... I don't want to see something great be reduced to shit just because of what people thought would be more appropriate for todays society. Can you imagine the new intro theme to Air Wolf as being more metally and "hardcore" than the original score?

[Nick]

I want to see the new G.I. Joes movie. I am a sad man. :(

[LittleDollClaudia]

Bring back the old Nickelodeon shows like You Can't Do That On Television and Out Of Control.

Also, that crazy goofy game show Remote Control in the heyday of MTV.

Agreed. The Nick shows now are stupid, like iCarly. I was watching old Kenan and Kel shows and there is nothing as good as those on Nick these days.

[pac-man]

I don't think the shows Nick is making these days is aimed at your demographic, ladies. And I'm sure there's something better than Keenan and Kel on there. That show was terrible.

[ZeldaQueen]

I know that, but I still like the old Nick shows (and I'm not that old).

And what was so bad about Kenan and Kel?

[pac-man]

It wasn't funny.

family-friendly stereotypes!

Orange drinks and ******s

Everybody knows black people like GRAPE soda.

And red drank...

Undercova Brotha lied to me.>:

[pac-man]

It lied to us all.

[Neen]

I based all my race relations on that film. Eddie Griffin deserves to be making straight-to-dvd sequels to Beethoven. >:(

Well maybe I haven't seen that many than. The ones I saw I thought were funny.

[pac-man]

Hey, if you thought it was funny then good for you. To me it was the beginning of the end of my viewership of Nickelodeon. It's like they said, "Hey why the fuck are we showing entertaining shows? They're just kids, they'll watch anything."

[ZeldaQueen]

Yeah, I know. I think I'm suffering from "Old timer syndrome", where I start to think that things from the past just seem better than the things today.

Which is sad, because I'm only eighteen... :\

[Neen]

It's called nostalgia.

[Tadao]

did anyone read that and was it funny?

[BLEU]

That's always what I want to ask whenever you post.

[Tadao]

I guess that's a no then.

[Tadao]

I just read it and it's a rehash of everything we know and just said a few short posts above. Good Job!

[ZeldaQueen]

Ah thank you. That's the word I was looking for. :)

[WhiteRat]

Agreed. The Nick shows now are stupid, like iCarly. I was watching old Kenan and Kel shows and there is nothing as good as those on Nick these days.

Are you serious? I guess you've never heard of a little Keenan and Kel shitspawn called Goodburger.

[Neen]

Wasn't it a spin-off of an All That! skit?

[pac-man]

Yeah it was. But it wasn't even one of the better sketches. I sometimes wonder what Kel is up to these days, and then subsequently binge drink in hopes of killing the brain cells that had that thought.

[There's A Bat]

awww here it goes

[ZeldaQueen]

Are you serious? I guess you've never heard of a little Keenan and Kel shitspawn called Goodburger.
Well no, that one I thought was stupid.

Like I said, the ones I saw, I thought were funny. Maybe it was because my cousins were over and everything else on tv was either very very stupid or boring. Or maybe I got lucky and saw some of the better ones.

[LittleDollClaudia]

Maybe it is the same, but now that we are all "adults", it doesn't make sense anymore.

No, I take that back. There was some good kids programming, wasn't there? It wasn't all that Hannah Montana and that kind of humor, right?

Someone give me at least a lifeline here.

[10,000 Volt Ghost]

I think Kel Mitchell does stand up now.

[pac-man]

There were some great shows in the mid/late 80's and early 90s. It is most certainly not the same.

[ZeldaQueen]

The last thing I saw Kenan and Kel together on (besides those reruns I mentioned) was when they had a cameo in the Rocky and Bullwinkle Movie.

The last thing I saw Kenan in was that Fat Albert movie.

[Tadao]

It had started with the Mickey Mouse Club and everything has been the same to date. Don't fool yourselves, you watched any crap they played for you and convinced yourself that they are good shows.

[pac-man]

No. If you just watched whatever was played for you then that's cool, but even as early as 6 I was definitely picking out the shows I liked and ignoring, switching, or complaining about the ones I didn't. Kids are idiots, sure, but there's a difference between quality children's entertainment and shitty kids entertainment. Good stuff (like Looney Tunes) stands the test of time and appeals to multiple age groups. Shit (like Kennan and Kel) is shit from day one.

[Tadao]

Looney tunes is an adult cartoon, once Looney Tunes started to make kids cartoons, they sucked ass. We are talking about kids shows right? Ren and Stimpy was not a kids show. W/E I don't actually care all about this subject as it is all shit from the past and it's time to fucking move on already.

[pac-man]

Nickelodeon aired Ren & Stimpy and Looney Toons. Maybe the difference is aimed at kids vs. made for kids. I really don't care either, but I can't stand idly by while shitty shows are remembered as good just because they aren't on TV anymore.

[Neen]

Tiny Toons was definitely for kids, and it fucking rocks... even if it has the stink of furries on it.

[ZeldaQueen]

I remember all of those old 90s cartoons. They were gotten rid of because there was some rule saying that a certain amount of shows had to be devoted to kid-friendly messages like the environment. >:

[Neen]

I thought PBS had that covered. Or is there some actual life-lessons in those shitty animes they force-feed kids nowadays?

[pac-man]

I don't think the movement for children's entertainment to teach a lesson or moral is a phenomenon that started in the 90s. G.I. Joe and He-Man tacked those PSAs on to the end of their shows. In the 90's they just added the "e/i" tag to shows that tried to teach kids something.

[Tadao]

I remember when the took away Daffy Duck getting his head shot by Elmer's shot gun On Wabbitt season/Duck season.

[ZeldaQueen]

All I know is that they took off Freakazoid and Road Rovers for Captain Planet and Channel Umptee-3. Apparently in the fall of 1997, the FCC passed a law requiring there to be three hours a week of educational children's programming on every station.

Oh yeah, and today Cookie Monster no longer eats cookies and Ronald McDonald has to wear a track suit. >:

[pac-man]

What kind of time warp do you live in? Captain Planet was on TV years before any of those shows.

[There's A Bat]

Freakazoid began airing in 1995, captain planet was cancelled in 1996..

I dont think They ever aired on the same network though..

I remember hearing about that when it happened. I was an adult by then though. Oh and don't bother explaining what you just said to the two dumb shits above this post. You couldn't have said it any better and explaining something so simple to them wouldn't help anyways.

Yeah, Tadao, fight him.

also if you had read my post, I was confirming that the two shows aired during the same time frame for at least a year.

[ZeldaQueen]

Yes, I made a mistake with the shows there. My bad.

Anyway, it's probably also that line of thinking (put in some kid message) that gave us those "Sailor Moon Says" bits.

[Tadao]

Aw, not only did you miss the layup, you then passed them the ball.

[There's A Bat]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Friday the 13th remake.

[ZeldaQueen]

Aw, not only did you miss the layup, you then passed them the ball.
Well yes, but I did make the mistake.

Anyway, how old are you if you were an adult in 1996? That year, I would have just been starting middle school.

[Tadao]

I was born in 1970. And what you said was that they took Freakazoid and Honk Kong Phooey off of your tv schedule and replaced them with Captain Planet and other things.

It doesn't matter when they were created or canceled. It still can happen just like you said.

[ZeldaQueen]

Yeah, you're right. Thanks. :)

[pac-man]

Yeah, it sure can happen that way. Too bad ZQ confirmed that it didn't.

I thought this thread was about 80's remakes, not 90's abortions.

[ZeldaQueen]

Interpret it however you like.

And what other remakes do you think there should be then?

[pac-man]

Small Wonder

[Tadao]

Punky Brewster

[There's A Bat]

I can't believe no one has mentioned the Friday the 13th remake.

me either.

[pac-man]

There's an entire thread about it.
