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!

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.

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.
