There’s been a ton of movie adaptions of old school TV shows lately: Miami Vice, Starsky and Hutch, Fat Albert, Dukes of Hazzard, and now the release of Lassie coming this Friday to a theater near you. While I can’t say that any of these are to be considered masterpieces, it arguable that there’s some merit in recreating the wheel so that the public can satisfy their nostalgic desires. In the spirit of playing along, here’s my suggestions for future remakes:
Perfect Strangers:
Larry and Balki back again with their hilarious hijinks. If anything, please remake this so that I can see the Dance of Joy just one more time.
GI Joe Live Action movie :
Live-action is going to work wonderfully for the Transformers, which will be released next summer. I wouldn’t want them to ruin this idea with the likes of big name actors however. I don’t want to see Matthew McConaughey playing Flint or Angelina Jolie playing Scarlet, but some serious talent recruiting that would cast the perfect people in these roles. The only question is who do you get to voice Cobra Commander since Chris Latta (who voiced the original CC) passed away.
A-Team:
Who wouldn’t want to see that Jet Black Van again with Hannibal, Murdock, Faceman, and BA Barracus kicking butt as they run from the law. I don’t know who you could possibly get to fill Mr. T’s role as BA, but I’m definitely up for 2 hours of butt-kicking action and problem solving.
21 Jump Street:
Make it a little darker and current to the problems in today’s society and I think we have a hit on our hands. Hayden Christensen (Star Wars Ep II and III) may work for the role of Tom Hanson, originally played by Johnny Depp.
The Jetsons:
Way back when the Jetsons was on the air, we all figured that by the year of 2006 we’d all be driving air cars by now. I think this movie is a no-brainer in terms of consumer appeal and Jim Carrey would slam dunk the role of George. Danny Devito as Mr. Spacely…is anyone else feeling me on this?
Link says to Pass on:
Doogie Howser MD the Movie
No way, no Howwwzahhhhh!
Three’s Company:
I’d prefer to remember the role of Jack Tripper only as John Ritter played it. The same goes for Don Knott’s Mr. Furley.
ALF:
Nuff Said
Ok,
I was with you on the whole Dance of Joy thing. Though you’d never catch the Bag Man doing the Dance of Joy– I don’t care how good those Myposian bibi-bobkas desserts taste.
But Hayden Christensen as Johnny Depp? WHO WANTS TO SEE HIM AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!?! After the appalling ridiculous atrocious spectacle he made of Bag-Man-Villain-Fav Darth Vader, I’d like to see Mr. Christensen officially removed from the Screen Actors Guild and permanently banned from the Silver Screen.
As for BA Barracus, the only choice I can see is Mr. Frozone himself SAM JACKSON.

LMAO@ Danny Devito as Mr. Spacely. That would be great. I can also see Jim Carrey as George
