There is a corniness, wholesomeness, ridiculous bad guys that can't be duplicated.

The man slid down a hot air balloon and beat up the bad guy in the basket.
If you can't have scenes like that in the new one, I don't even want to watch it.

Jared Padelicki needs a paycheck.

Tell me about it. The news made me actually want Supernatural to stay on the air, because if Jared Padalecki is filming it, he can’t film a Walker reboot.

Do you know when it will be on and what channel?

[–] jakemon45 (1192) 5 years ago

While I agree, the same could certainly be said about Magnum PI, MacGuyver, and even Hawaii 5-0. However, even without any shred of charm those original shows had, CBS has somehow made the remakes hits.

[–] GordonGartrelle (1268) 5 years ago

Ha. No way did any of the shows you mentioned have the exaggeration that is a Walker episode, original or remake.

LMAO...HAVE YOU EVER SEEN THOSE SHOWS...I MEAN HAWAII 5-0 GETS A PASS,BUT MAGNUM AND MACGUYVER ARE SO OVER THE TOP..

It was a great show and no remake will do it justice

[–] TexasJack (12516) 5 years ago

I don't get it either. The only way I see another Walker working is with a huge star like The Rock in the main role.

[–] GordonGartrelle (1268) 5 years ago

Anyone that thinks this show can be remade has never watched the episode, The Children of Halloween.

That's the kind of gold I'm looking for.

BECAUSE CHUCK NORRIS SAID SO!

[–] PaladinNJ (21774) 3 years ago

That would have been a good enough reason. But I don't think he has anything to do with the new show.

Already looks predictable and formulaic. Handsome white guy, sexy half Latina partner.

Let me Guess.
Nia Peeples characters daughter.

Wouldn't be surprised. It's rumored that Miami Vice might be rebooted too.
