The problems with reviving old shows are:
1. You want the show to "be just like you remember it".
2. You have had some shows return as "The NEW _______" and nobody watches, because it "isn't the same as the original". There's been one or two attempts to bring back Adam-12, but I don't think they lasted more than a season.
3. There have been reincarnation of original shows that had some success, such as the Star Trek franchise, but those are the exceptions and they didn't try to sell it being an update of the original.
4. Sometimes, the show was good because of the cast/star. Could you imagine a revival of All in the Family without Carroll O'Connor as Archie? Even when Jean Stapleton left the show and they tried to hang on with Archie Bunker's Place...it was a instant failure (same goes with M*A*S*H and AfterM*A*S*H).
5. A lot of people complain when a "new" movie comes out and it is based on the 60's or 70's TV show...how did most of those movies fare in the theaters?
