Remakes and reboots have become a fairly common occurrence in movies. Snake Eyes is the most recent example, as it attempts to reboot the GI Joe movie universe. Reboots aren’t exclusive to the big screen, though. For as long as they’ve been happening in movies, TV has been just as guilty of trying to milk established properties by relaunching them with new casts.
While some TV reboots fly high, even surpassing the original series–Battlestar Galactica, for instance–the list of rebooted and remade TV shows that failed is a long one. You might even be surprised at some of the shows Hollywood has attempted a second time, only for them to be canceled after a few episodes and never heard from again.
We dug through the TV reboot dumpster to scrape up the 14 absolute worst of the worst. Whether it was a poorly produced new version of a beloved show, or even a second shot at a series that bombed the first time, these shows simply did not work, crashing and burning upon release. In fact, you may even be surprised at some of the old shows that were rebooted more than once, only to have failed each time.
Take a look below at the 14 worst TV reboots and sound off in the comments if we missed our one the one you love to hate the most.
