Some real classic shows were just ruined because they were brought back, biggest example is Minder. George Cole as Arthur and Dennis Waterman as Terry worked a treat when Terry left, they tried to bring it back with Arthur's nephew Ray and then the other year they brought it back again with Shane F***ing Ritchie. Just leave it alone.
I'd say the same about Fools and Horses, for me it should of been left in 96 with Del, Rodney and Albert walking into the sunset as the millionaires Del had always dreamed of becoming. As good as the last three were and as chuffed I was that Rodney and Cas finally got a kid, I think it should of been left with them as millionaires. Not sure if the new one off about Joan (The Trotters' mam) and Freddie Robdul (aka Freddie the Frog - Rodney's biological dad) is gonna work either. It's set when Del, Boycie, Denzil and Trigger are all around the age of 15/16 (I think)
The Royle Family is another, where the one special worked but now it's nowhere near as funny as it should be. The one where Nana died was quality in my opinion - funny as well as a real tear jerker when Nana finally did die. But the last two, "The New Sofa" and "The Golden Egg Cup" have been bordering on too silly.
Shooting Stars is another that should never of been brought back, then again it should never of been a show in the first place. And sticking with Vic and Bob, they should never of done Randall and Hopkirk (deceased). The original was ok with Michael Pratt as Randall and the other fella, whose name escapes me right now, playing Hopkirk but the modern version was a complete joke. And not a funny joke at all.
Any other shows that should of been left alone instead of constantly trying to bring it back?
