Where To Watch
Can you name all 10 of these forgotten TV reboots?
The Sixties, Seventies and Eighties will always be mined.
Who needs original ideas when the Sixties, Seventies and Eighties gave us so many fantastic shows?
For decades, television has been recycling its most familiar properties. They just announced a new Knight Rider. It doesn't matter when you take this quiz — that statement will probably be true. Occasionally, they click and turn into big hits, like MacGyver.
Sometimes, however, the reboots quickly fade into obscurity. Like this lesser-known 10. See if you can name that reboot!

10/10, and I watched most of 'em except for #5 (which I heard about in recent years but never seen).
7/10
7/10
missed 3, 6, 10
WOW, I've never heard of most of these.
10 out of 10
5 out if 10 This was a real challenger.
10/10. I actually enjoyed "The New Perry Mason" back when it was on.
9 out of 10; that Monty Markham reboot from the seventies threw me.
At least two of these weren't reboots so much as sequels.

-snort2- Pitiful. Knew them all, & only one was any damn good -- Burke's Law.
Laacey you are good, 4/10 for me on the reboots....
9/10 and I got the LAST NAME of #10 right.
The funny thing is that I never saw any of the reboots.

You didn't miss much, except for Gene Barry, & even his was hit/miss.
10/10; I knew all of them - easy one for me.
It's Hawaii Five-0 with a zero. The Five-0 stands for "50" as in the 50th state. (In both series the Five-0 stands for the number 50). Using the letter O is meaningless and stupid. (And don't give me the nonsense that CBS retitled the original series (after it was off the air for 30 years) to differentiate it from the new series. Other series such as Dark Shadows, Mission: Impossible, Star Trek (the animated series) and even Punky Brewster (the animated series)* and the first ALF animated series all reused the original title with no confusion.)
*When the series went to DVD it was retitled "It's Punky Brewster as if that was the title it was broadcast as.

Dang, I must have missed that decade
I never heard of most of these....
#6s question does not make any sense...and I didn't know they had TV in 1001. MeTV needs to hire a proof reader.
This comment has been removed.
Yes. The word came should be removed and I think they meant 2001, not 1001.
8/10
Why did the Knight Rider reboot fail? Because the original was a man, alone, fighting injustice. Think, The Lone Ranger.
The reboot was a team of 6 people getting assignments from a secret government agency. Think Mission: Impossible.
If they're going to reboot, understand the show and respect the original!!

Tell that to the Mission: Impossible and Dark Shadows movie reboots. And in both cases, the star had stated how much he liked the series and wanted to do it justice!
There was also a Knight Rider reboot in 2008 with a man and a Mustang as KITT, voiced by Val Kilmer.
5/10...hahaha
