I've not seen any of the originals that you picked so didn't bother with the new ones either.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-49492043708774617892019-09-06T03:38:33.684+08:002019-09-06T03:38:33.684+08:00If you are not into teen soaps...which I think wha...If you are not into teen soaps...which I think what the original 90210 is...then the revival is not for you either. Anyway I don't think Luke Perry reprised his role in the revival, I only remember seeing the original female cast like Garth and Doherty reprising their roles.<br /><br />I'd recommend the first season of Heroes, it is one of the best superhero TV series season ever.<br /><br />I grew up on the 90s Sabrina TV series. It was cute.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-53978741459579562522019-09-06T03:32:12.413+08:002019-09-06T03:32:12.413+08:00Heroes - Right!

How did they bungled up the second season and still managed to run for four seasons and get an equally terrible revival is just mind boggling.Wandererhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02942463921185187112noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-89405101699138789502019-08-31T22:42:31.932+08:002019-08-31T22:42:31.932+08:00I've seen a few episodes of both the original ...I've seen a few episodes of both the original 90210 and Sabrina but wasn't a devoted fan of either so never bothered with the newer versions. Heroes never interested me when it was on, I'm not positive I even knew they did any kind of extension.<br /><br />They seem to revamp everything nowadays so picking three was a cinch.<br /><br />Hawaii Five-O (1968-1980/2010-?)-The elite branch of Hawaii’s police force…the Five-O…headed by Steve McGarret (Jack Lord), his faithful assistant Danny Williams (Dan-O) (James MacArthur) and their squad fought crime on the big island for 12 years kicked off by propulsive classic opening music. In 2010 the concept was updated but kept basically the same with Alex O’Loughlin & Scott Caan taking over for Lord and MacArthur and is still running today.<br /><br />Dallas (1978-1991/2012-2014)-Life in the oil business and Southfork ranch specifically centered on the Ewing clan headed by Miss Ellie (Barbara Bel Geddes) & Jock (Jim Davis), their sons-the ruthless J.R. (Larry Hagman) and good guy Bobby (Patrick Duffy) and their wives Sue Ellen (Linda Gray) and Pamela (Victoria Principal) as their spar and manipulate everyone and each other for 13 incredibly successful years. In 2012 a new version premiered following J.R. & Bobby’s sons John Ross and Christopher (Josh Henderson & Jesse Metcalfe) as they wheedled and cajoled like their Pappies. Not nearly as successful it only lasted two years but was a decent redo.<br /><br />The Odd Couple (1970-1975/2015-2017)-In 1970, two years after the successful Jack Lemmon/Walter Matthau theatrical film, Tony Randall and Jack Klugman premiered as neat freak Felix Unger and major slob Oscar Madison who tried to live together without killing each other when they separate from their wives. They did so humorously for five years. In 2015 a new version premiered with Thomas Lennon as Felix and Matthew Perry as Oscar which limped along for two years. The difference was Lennon & Perry were talented actors playing parts whereas Randall & Klugman were ideal fits who were perfection in the roles, better even than Lemmon and Matthau in the original film.joel65913https://www.blogger.com/profile/14526657073681774683noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-17372964305716121822019-08-30T09:31:24.205+08:002019-08-30T09:31:24.205+08:00I never watched the original 90210 and will skip t...I never watched the original 90210 and will skip this although it is sad about Luke Perry. I never watched Heroes either but I always like Sabrina, the teenage witch for some reason even though it was hokey.Birgithttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09439720285857050428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1128401155527497521.post-62663521680646833252019-08-30T03:24:19.970+08:002019-08-30T03:24:19.970+08:00Heroes should be taught in film school on how you ...Heroes should be taught in film school on how you can have an absolutely amazing first season in television,then completely shit the bed in season 2. Shows get bad eventually but I've never seen one do that as quickly as Heroes did.<br /><br />Chilling Adventures of Sabrina is an inspired pick!Brittani Burnhamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07975067259283007280noreply@blogger.com
