Leave old TV shows alone

I am sick of Hollywood doing all these TV show movie remakes.

Dukes of Hazzard, Lost in Space, Miami Vice and now Chips.

I bet this movie will be another waste of time and money.

About time they came up with new ideas, instead of re-hashing old stuff.

ya i agree leave the tv shows alone. Starksy and Hutch, unlike the others, was a spoof of the television show. Just look at the cast no one was serious about it.

I can't believe they're now making a movie about the tv show "Dallas". What's next, a Beverly Hills 90210 feature film? Better yet, a remake of the tv show "Welcome Back Kotter" that made John Travolta famous. Personally, I'd like to see a remake of "The Six Million Dollar Man" if they're going to keep doing movies about 70s tv shows.

All of the shows got screwed up when they transferred to the big screen. And CHiPs was crap to start with.

Actually Six Million Dollar man could be pretty cool with todays updated technology. He could battle a new and improved but evil Knight Rider!

There's one that will never happen, thanks in part to what was happening in this country when the show originally aired (70's)- regulations galore:
EPA refuses to certify design elements of hardware due to unknown impact on the environment.
FDA refuses to approve high-tech hardware for humans.
DOE (Energy) refuses to license internal power supply.
ATF classifies some of the hardware as a class 3 destructive device.
NSA and CIA fear compromise of hardware could be a threat to national security.
Original cost of $6 billion becomes $13 billion due to cost overruns and greed.
IRS penalizes Austin for $13 billion in income since he can use the hardware while off duty.
Congress axes funding for the project after a 6 month investigation.
Project is finally finished in Canada and Mexico due to lower production costs.

If Westerns start doing well look for GUNSMOKE Miss Kitty will be a Madam & Matt will be banging her. Chester will be a perve no escape from the hollyweird destruction.
