I remember enjoying Earth 2 for some time and then it just seemed to go downhill fast and disappear. The cast was pretty good and I always felt that they could have done a much better show with a little more effort in the writing department.
Having said that, I voted Space 1999. I loved that show although not all the episodes were winners. The 'monster of the week' concept when they added Maya to the show was much appreciated by me at the time.
I would have voted for "The Invaders" if it was on your list and I also noted the absence of "Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea" (VttBotS), while the somewhat inferior "Time Tunnel" was a choice.
But I'm not sure what you had in mind with "Voyagers!". ST: Voyager? Or was that supposed to be VttBotS?

Hey Laz,
Wasn't the Invaders already remade back in the 90s? As for Anderson stuff, I really enjoyed the two season of the remake of Captain Scarlet in 3D, very nice! Too bad in ended nowhere.

I did not know that. The all knowing wikipedia had this to say:
In 1995 the series was reprised as a three-hour television miniseries also titled The Invaders. Scott Bakula (of Quantum Leap and Star Trek: Enterprise) starred as Nolan Wood, who discovered the alien conspiracy, and Roy Thinnes reprised his role from the series of David Vincent, now an old man handing the burden over to Wood. The miniseries has been released in some countries on home video, edited into a single movie.

I remembered that it played and watching the first episode for the 90s version, but that's about it, I don't recall anything else important like "how good it was".
Clearly, the Invaders got to me before you asked me that question.

Many of these are hardly ripe for a reboot at this time. Some are simply too close to perfect as they are, such as Alf and Quantum Leap. Sliders is just too recent, as is Earth 2 and perhaps Seaquest. I'd like to see a reboot of Logan's Run personally. It meets all the criteria for a reboot in my mind... a very dated production of an otherwise excellent underlying theme.
Take UFO off the list
Don't bother voting for UFO. Apparently, it's already slated for a remake!
I wouldn't be surprised to find out that others on the list have already been greenlighted.

So did anyone see this? Worth seeking out?
Thanks Cos!
