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.

(goes to the Broadcasting magazine archive)

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. 🙂

Blockbusters was the first one I thought of. At least the new 3's a Crowd took some of the trashiness out of the original.

Make me laugh with Robert Q Lewis came back as Bobby Vans make me laugh

And later on Comedy Central.

The discussion on the High Rollers thread inspired a thought. What are some of the more short-lived shows to get a revival? For this thread we’ll say under 12 months.

I’m also thinking the original run, so Cullen’s Chain Reaction and Lingo ‘87 count. CBS 25K Pyramid does not because there were successful versions prior to the 50K version. I’ll add Three’s a Crowd.

Was Double Talk a revival, of sorts of Shoot for the Stars?
