Name a remade tv show that actually lived long and prospered...
"Star Trek: The Next Generation"


Now, name a remade TV show that truly stunk:

"The New Monkees"

1. All in the Family
It was a remake of the British series Till Death do us Part.

Three's Company was a remake of the British series Man About the House

Antiques Roadshow was a remake of a BBC series of the same name

As for stinkers...

The American version of Coupling was an utter disgrace.

3. Prospered: "Lou Grant." Stunk: "Joanie Loves Chachi."
I liked "Lou Grant." Ed Asner made the premise work with a good cast.

I never actually watched "Joanie Loves Chachi," but it came to mind. By that time, "Happy Days" had long before jumped the shark.

4. Oops. Guess I misread it as spinoffs. Same-o same-o.
Still an interesting premise.

"STNG" was a spinoff, not a remake.
