(thedoogles) 1 of 2 Hollywood is constantly churning out movie remakes that really should never have been greenlighted, but TV doesn’t get off scot-free. The Huffington Post lists 11 boob-tube remakes we really never needed to see: Knight Rider: “The original starring The Hoff is a camp classic,” writes Ross Luippold, but “not even Will Arnett, who was cast as the voice of KITT until being replaced by Val Kilmer, could save this dud.” The Love Boat: “The 1970s were encapsulated in The Love Boat: polyester clothes, soft lighting, and a swingin' good time.” Something that time-sensitive should never be remade. The Munsters: The remake was just proposed—and “is there a better metaphor for the state of originality in America than a remake of a show that stole its premise and characters from already-existing properties” like The Addams Family? Bionic Woman: The original “provided a role model to young girls with a strong female hero. But the 2006 remake simply dished out sexy special effects and glitzy ass-kicking targeted towards young males.” For the complete list—including, hilariously, The Tonight Show With Jay Leno—click here.
