Can you name all 10 of these forgotten TV reboots?

Can you name all 10 of these forgotten TV reboots?
The Sixties, Seventies and Eighties will always be mined.


#6 is interesting for us... (And possibly #10.)

And it's nice that they have links to DS articles and a DS promo on the page...

I guessed it correctly, yet I have no memory of New Monkees.

I tried watching The New Monkees once when it was on. It was horrible. The biggest hoot on the list was reboot of The Waltons for Dark Shadows. LOL. I do miss Decades.

Given the photo, the choice of The New Monkees for that one was pretty obvious. But I don't think I ever watched it so I have no opinion of what it might have been like. But the original was such a product of its time that if they tried to redo the same sort of thing, I can see why it didn't last.

YES! The Collinses are so NOT the Waltons!!  [ghost_nowink]  [ghost_cheesy]

Same here because from time to time I would peek in on DS if I could just to get the feeling of knowing other fans are watching at the same time...

I don't recall much about the 1 show I watched ... except it felt like a psychedelic Pee Wee's Playhouse. A weird mess.  [scratch]  followed by  [offtheair]

I only got number three wrong, but I must admit that many of the others were lucky guesses.

Can't believe I only got one wrong. But I'm actually going to give myself a grade of 100% because the picture and clue for no. 5 were totally misleading!  [ghost_angry]

My guess is that almost all of those shows are *justly* forgotten--except for no. 6, of course!  [ghost_grin]

KMR, I knew the answer for #5 only because Brett Summers was a cast member and she pushed the show while she appeared as a regular on Match Game.  The reboot lasted only a few episodes until it was mercifully put out of its misery.
