Bring back To Tell The Truth. Use panelists who are intent on playing the game, not cracking jokes and hogging the camera.
Also, with all the Twilight hoopla, why not do Dark Shadows as it was originally done - but with a bigger budget. A love story wrapped in a gothic horror blanket. Don't make it a weird Tim Burton cartoon or don't make it so dull like the 1990's remake. Just a good fast paced horror drama with characters you love and love to hate.

People may be surprised at how successful a "Joker's Wild" / "Tic Tac Dough" syndicated package would do.

But with a twist...they should design the sets to be almost identical to the 70's/80's classics and keep game play the same (except for TJW to get rid of the audience game concept and for TTD to get rid of the red categories with the exception of the Secret Category). The remakes would be successful for being original by NOT being original, if that makes sense.

Have Marc Summers host TJW and Mark L. Walberg host TTD.

Reboots almost never work. If a show is in trouble, put it out of its misery.

Remember in the late '80s/early '90s, we had a whole slew of reboots of classic shows, especially in syndication.

Leading the way was "Star Trek: The Next Generation".

Add to that, we had "The New WKRP", "The New Lassie", "The New Dragnet", "The New Adam-12"

And on cable, there was "Still the Beaver"/"The New Leave it to Beaver"

People may be surprised at how successful a "Joker's Wild" / "Tic Tac Dough" syndicated package would do.

Have Marc Summers host TJW and Mark L. Walberg host TTD.

There was a Joker/Tic-Tac reboot in 1990 (must have been the in-thing back then) and they were awful.

Remember TTD being hosted by Patrick (son of John) Wayne...You WIIIIIINNN!

And on "Joker", they originally had new game rules, and then midway through the run they changed to a modified version of the original rules.

VJM: Those weren't re-boots. Those were sequels.

Re-boots are when the producers make major changes to those shows' cast, setting, premise and/or situation mid-run. It's a desperate move and (almost) never works.

I'd like to see "American Bandstand" and "Where The Action Is" rebooted. Or how about "Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine?"

"Midnight Special"
"SCTV"

I'd like to see "American Bandstand" and "Where The Action Is" rebooted. Or how about "Marlo and the Magic Movie Machine?"

'Bandstand' was almost revived on Fox for the fall of 2005, but Dick Clark's stroke the previous year killed the project(Ryan Seacrest would have been the host, with Clark behind the scenes, perhaps appearing occasionally). The one part of that show that did make it on the air was a weekly dance competition...expanded into 'So You Think You Can Dance?'

Reboots almost never work. If a show is in trouble, put it out of its misery.

Hawaii Five-O is a good example of a re-boot that is successful.
