It seems that there is a big influx of remakes these days when it comes to movies and TV shows. I guess the writers, producers and directors in Hollywood have completely run out of new ideas, so they have to recycle the old hits in hopes that they will get the viewers' interest again.
There are only a few remakes that I think might be successful--at least for a little while. But most of them will most likely flop due to the fact that people who have seen the original shows or movies that are being remade will notice when the new one is coming up short and will lose interest.
