I have chanced upon some tv revivals on our cable channel. Hawaii Five-O is one although I didn't catch the names of the cast. Another revival is McGyver with the actor looking like the original McGyver. I am hoping that there will be a revival of Combat. That war series that featured Vic Morrow and Rick Jason. It was a hit when I was a girl, my older brothers would die just to watch Combat. I remember it was shown every Friday night at 8 pm. Expect our tv to be tuned in to the channel and our house was full with the neighbors. However, I wonder if Combat is revived, will it gain a good following? I understand that war is very different now.
One series I always wish they'd given a revival/reboot was The Dukes of Hazzard. I always loved watching the re-runs decades after it was made. "Just some good old boys, never meaning no harm...."
Let me stray a bit out of the topic. When my husband was assigned temporary work in London, he was telling me that the telly (that's the British term for tv) has a registration fee. I forgot if it's monthly or annual but it's a regular fee like a tax. So when you buy a tv, you have to register it with the concerned government agency. During that time, it was 1986, there were only 4 channels, BBC 1 and 2 plus another 2 channels by the government. And the most popular evening show was Benny Hill. Pardon me, I just want to share what I know about the licensing of tv in the UK. Correct me if I'm wrong with my info.
