no one was waiting for these shows to
come back from the dead
welcome to watchmojo.com and today we’re
counting down our picks for the top 10
TV revivals no one asked for love – Ravi
really would just one teensy little
problem
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re looking at
TV shows that were brought back or are
going to be revived despite a lack of
popular demand it doesn’t matter whether
the new iteration was or is successful
if the majority of people weren’t
exactly enthusiastic about the show’s
return it will be considered for this
list
number 10 fuller house DJ we’re still a
family and now is when we really need to
stick together a show about a widowed
man raising his daughters sounds like
dramatic television instead full house
became known for cheesy dialogue and
heavy-handed moral lessons after ending
23 years ago
Netflix brought back the cheese with
fuller house instead of devising a new
concept the reboot is just a gender swap
and sometimes shot-for-shot remake of
the original premise tommy say hi to
your aunt Stephanie in an era of unique
and nuanced sitcoms bringing this sappy
house back onto the market feels
unnecessary but despite being roasted by
critics fuller house is still going as
of 2018 we’re not sure he’s still
[Music]
number 9 magnum p.i to see the sunrise
this morning do we really need another
detective show magnum p.i followed a
Navy SEAL turned private investigator
who solved cases in Hawaii Thomas Magnum
played by Tom Selleck and his moustache
entertained audiences for eight seasons
when news broke that CBS ordered a pilot
to renew the series without Tom and his
iconic facial hair in the lead role many
fans were less than pleased to make
matters worse Selleck is currently
starring in the police drama blue bloods
on the same network it’s not leaked to
the press that I’m worried about right
now adding yet another detective show to
the mix just seems redundant CBS may be
better off sticking with the original
moustache in reruns
you can’t smoke here
I’m sorry officer how about if I just
let it go out number eight charmed
when you find your path is blocked all
you have to do is not the original
charmed followed a family of witches who
fought supernatural threats after ending
in 2006 the series became popular on
streaming networks all that binging may
have motivated the CW to announce their
quote feminist reboot of the series
complete with new main characters the
announcement drew criticism for implying
that charmed wasn’t always about strong
female characters Holly Marie Combs who
played Piper also criticized the reboot
for building on the previous show’s
success without bringing back the
original team between its PR missteps
and lack of characters that made the
show bench worthy this reboot is going
to have a hard time recapturing the
series is magic okay this was all your
idea you know okay well so sue me
number seven heroes reborn save the
cheerleader save the world we don’t need
these heroes to save the day the
original heroes series got off to a
strong start
however questionable writing decisions
and bad pacing led the critical carping
and viewership numbers dropping
something has to be done although it was
canceled by NBC the same network brought
back the concept with heroes reborn the
comic book you look back wonders you
have more in common with your favorite
character than you think
the revival shifted its focus on two new
characters that interacted with original
cast members but with the same creator
at the helm the series risked running
into the same story issues as before and
indeed history repeated itself with the
reboot with audiences tuning in at the
beginning and jumping as the season
number six Total Request Live for the
next hour giving you the top ten most
requested beers in the country my name
is Carson Daly I’m the host
nowadays if you want to check out music
videos you just Hertz YouTube but before
the site became popular we tune into
MTV’s Total Request Live TRL brought us
live performances celebrity guest stars
and most importantly a music video
countdown as time marched on TRL’s
ratings fell and the show was cancelled
fast-forward to 2017 and mtv decided to
revamp the show with a social media
account oh and coming in at number three
it’s of course the Dolan twins who just
reached five million subscribers
neither the hosts nor the programming
quite measure up to what made TRL
entertaining and even if they had
brought their old format back there are
more accessible and entertaining
countdowns on YouTube oh well so we will
make it happen
number five dynasty Carrington you are
not a guest in this country anymore you
are a prisoner of this revolution
dynasty was once a golden globe-winning
primetime soap opera about the
misadventures of the oil-rich Carrington
family but after a couple of rough
seasons the show was canceled on a
cliffhanger ending these people really
are trying to kill you one thing after a
1991 miniseries result hanging plot
lines it looked like the oily drama had
ended until the CW announced its revival
series for 2017 instead of continuing
plot lines dynasty fans watched the show
start from scratch and judging by the
reboots mixed reviews and lagging
ratings newer audiences aren’t exactly
latching on to it I realized that we
aren’t profitable yet but we will be
very soon despite all this the CW has
still ordered additional episodes in
another effort to save this crumbling
dynasty well party’s over
number four party of five by your folks
don’t think
oh right I heard in the 1990s party of
five focused on the life of five
siblings after their parents are killed
by a drunk driver
freeform ordered a series reboot
featuring five Latino children who live
by themselves after their parents are
deported on the surface this new concept
seems kinda like the original however
the heavy issues that come with
deportation are different from the
heaviness of processing the loss of
loved ones don’t get us wrong this
project could be amazing and impactful
but with its significant changes it
should be its own program instead of a
revival number three MacGyver if you
needed to stop a villain using only two
paper clips and a rubber band you’d call
agent MacGyver his ability to get out of
complex problems with simple tools do
audiences in for seven seasons after the
premise wore thin MacGyver became more
of a pop-culture reference than an
action star but CBS thought he was
popular enough for a new show the
original MacGyver actor Richard Dean
Anderson criticized this reboot for
overlooking the insanely loyal fans
while his statement is up for
interpretation
shaky ratings and middling reviews of
the new show are clear even MacGyver
can’t invent a good revival now how the
hell did you survive lucky yourself a
roomful of nerve gas number two Knight
Rider all right please stop trying to
make another Knight Rider happen back in
the 1980s the show was a fun idea David
Hasselhoff starred as Michael Knight
a man who solves problems with his
intelligent talking car KITT when the
short-lived action show ended there were
multiple attempts to bring it back one
of the most notorious was a TV reboot
starring the son of Michael Knight in
2008
[Music]
despite the show receiving poor ratings
and being canceled rumors of a
Nightrider webseries persist but hey
with cereal to do anything kick can do
there’s no reason to take that idea out
of the garage it’s gonna be our last
chance I’m finishing this now before we
turn off our top pick
here are some dishonorable mentions
eventually he you know become a grown-up
I mean how is he supposed to take care
of a family if sometimes it feels like
he can’t even take care of himself we’re
back bitches
it’s a Jersey Shore family vacation
coming in 2018 kids number one American
Idol your attitude you were boring and
it wasn’t even good enough for a hotel
lobby this reboot hits a really sour
note there was a time when this singing
competition was second to none in the
ratings but after being on top for years
American Idol lost its staying power in
2016 a massive campaign was launched to
let us know the show was ending after 15
seasons we say to you from Hollywood
goodnight America but all the efforts
were made nearly pointless when ABC
announced they were bringing back the
show in 2018 the ridiculously short
revival timeframe is absurd and early
interviews suggest that the format won’t
be all that different this puts the boo
and reboot do you agree with our picks
