What SciFi Should Get the Reboot Treatment Next?

Posted by ScuttleMonkey on from the so-much-firefly-love dept.

Not long ago Wired ran their own list of which SciFi (not SyFy!) shows were in need of another go 'round in this era of the reboot. Well, it looks like many fans had their own opinions resulting in another list of reboots including everything from Firefly (please?) to The Outer Limits. Which SciFi stories could use the breath of life, and which ones might actually succeed it getting it?

    One or two remakes is one thing. Turning "using the name and characters of a franchise to make a new series than only superficially resembles the original" has turned into an excuse to not develop new IP, however.

    Put me down for "no more reboots, ever".

    Mod me redundant - I don't care.

    Firefly Firefly Firefly.

    The more times someone sees this, the more of a chance it will happen.

    MORE FIREFLY.

    No, it's because it's the probably the best sci-fi TV show to come around in the last 10-15 years or so (along with the new Battlestar). Seriously, most of that time the only thing we've had was crappy Star Trek follow-ons (DS9, Enterprise, Voyager).
