Though we got a sequel with ‘Fuller House,’ this classic still deserves a full reboot. Widower Danny raises his three daughters with help from his brother-in-law Jesse and his goofy friend Joey. Though without Bob Saget, the cast would need a full re-do.

This series introduced Johnny Depp’s talent to the world. He played Officer John Hanson, who, along with other young cops, went undercover in schools to solve crimes committed by students. Sure, we already got a movie reboot, but we want more TV.

Who hasn’t dreamed of visiting a gorgeous island where all your wishes come true? That was the allure of ‘Fantasy Island,’ where Mr. Roarke and his assistant Tattoo made dreams a reality. In 1998, there was a one season revival.. but that was far too long ago.

Each season was unique, with 24 episodes that spanned exactly one hour each. And although it was the longest running espionage-themed show and had one spin-off season, we demand to see just a few more days!

Vicki is a humanoid robot disguised as a 10-year-old girl. She lives with a family led by Ted (Dick Christie), the engineer who created her, along with his wife Joan (Marla Pennington) and their son Jamie (Jerry Supiran). Together, they try to keep Vicki’s true identity a secret from their nosy neighbors.

At the time, the show was produced independently with a limited budget, which explains the simple sets and basic special effects. Still, it delivered 96 delightful episodes — definitely deserving of a reboot!

The series followed the adventures of detectives Kelly (Jaclyn Smith), Sabrina (Kate Jackson), and Jill (Farrah Fawcett), with others joining later as replacements. They worked for the Charles Townsend Detective Agency, using their intelligence, beauty, and martial arts skills to solve cases. It's had movie reboots, which were highly successful, so why not more shows?

Sarah Michelle Gellar starred as Buffy Summers, a young woman from a long line of supernaturally gifted “Slayers.” Her mission was to battle vampires, demons, and other dark forces, all while handling the everyday challenges of teenage life.
