Why would anyone want, or need a remake of UFO (1969-70)? The original was fine as it was. I can understand why they had a second go at Battlestar Galactica (1978-9) and redid Dune (1984), because the originals were so deeply flawed. Their versions of BG (2003- ) and Dune (2000, 2003) were so superior that it makes the job worthwhile. I just wish that Hollywood would stop remaking older properties, and concentrate on coming up with new ideas.

I have a question;How come Sci-Fi can come out with these stupid shows that
really mean nothing and not do a re-make of a brilliant show such as
UFO?Someone has gotta have a pilot that they can throw at that network to
atleast have a run as a mini-movie,just like how Galctica did.What is goin
on with people--passing up such a great show that was way ahead of it's time
that we all loved!!
I'm ready for it--are you??Any feed-back on this??And what can we do to help
make this happen?I know there is a demand for UFO.
Always a very loyal fan,
Anthony
