Is there any chance they will have another Nancy Drew/Hardy Boys TV show? I mean, my mom used to watch these episodes, and I've been starting to watch them, but I can't help feel they'd be cooler if the effects were made better, and they had cooler gadgets and stuff.
Keep moving forward...

It's unlikely that they will, one of the biggest problems they have is that the boys never age, but any actors playing them will.
And a decent movie is also unlikely, in view of the fact they are making a movie about the boys all grown up.
It really is a pity that the show only ran 3 seasons.
"but I can't help feel they'd be cooler if the effects were made better, and they had cooler gadgets and stuff."
Effects? What effects? This was hardly an effects heavy show. And why do they need cooler gadgets? This isn't James Bond or Cody Banks.

Like in that episode with the house that the Hardy Boys went into and one room had huge furniture and one, although on the 2nd floor, led outside and they said it was all holigrams. That would be cooler if they made it today. And in the books (newer, ive never read the old hardy boys ones, nancy yes, though) they have all sorts of gadgets. but thats cuz they work undercover for ATAC, which is REALLY cool!

I just watched that episode again and yes you can obviously tell they used doll house furniture, some how for me though that kind of adds to the charm...maybe it's a nostalgia thing for me with some of these shows from the 70's I used to watch as a kid that had cheesy effects.
I haven't read a Hardy Boy book since I was kid in the 70's and early 80's...I never read Nancy Drew, though my oldest sister read them a lot when she was a kid...and my wife has a ton of Drew books from when she was little, and I recently got her the Nancy Drew DVD set of the 30's movies for her B-day.
Hey, this guy's not gonna leak all over my ice cream, is he?share
I still think a remake would be cool. But I really do like the actors that played Frank and Joe, even if they are really creepy looking now, lol.
I've tried to read the old Hardy Boy books, I just can't get into them. And now, after I've just gotten into loving the new books, they're taking them away and replacing it with some other series. Arg! I really like the Nancy Drew books, whether old or new.
Have you ever seen the new ND movie with Emma Roberts? It was okay...not great, just okay. To tell the truth, Her Interactive's games is what got me into the whole Nancy Drew phase, lol.

I think that the series should be remade using some of the original books. In fact, I've got some of them planned out in my head. Maybe that's just the reader/writer in me. Who knows? Maybe one day I'll write the new Hardy Boys/Nancy Drew series... ;)
