Short-lived shows that were rebooted

[bulldog_06]

Would "Jackpot" work? Granted, the NBC version lasted over a year and a half. The USA/Global Network run was three seasons long and then added another year in syndication.

From the very first post:

What are some of the more short-lived shows to get a revival? For this thread we’ll say under 12 months.

So no, it doesn’t work.

Would "Second Chance" as "Press Your Luck" count?  There's enough common ground between the two .

I don't see why not. Same for He Said/She Said.

Hollywood Showdown lasted over a year, give or take.

I would figure if Battlestars qualified, wouldn’t Break the Bank also? Or is the addition of a bonus to the syndicated edition different?(considering the format otherwise stayed the same unlike Battlestars)

I'd call it a counterpart. Even though the daytime version was cancelled that summer, I wager the syndicated version was in the works for a while, maybe even before the Kennedy version premiered.

The syndicated version was actually announced first, with the daytime show "under consideration".

I wouldn't put Break the Bank on there...in a way, it's part of the same run.  The syndicated version was pitched and sold first, then ABC picked it up for daytime.

Great minds...

Does Child's Play count as a revival of Everybody's/Hollywood's Talking?

Also, Reach for the Stars had a Spanish-language version on what is now Univision, Baje un Estrella.

Does Child's Play count as a revival of Everybody's/Hollywood's Talking?

Considering they were produced by two different companies, no. In that vein, I would say Small Talk was more of a revival of Child's Play anyway.

Either way, this I did not know. So both of you get a thank you. 🙂
