Perhaps not a reboot as it would be a sequel or continuation but I'd pray for the day they make a 6th series of the Wire, old cast, new cast don't care but there is endless new stuff that could be found for the survivors of the first lot to be doing now and I'm sure Baltimore today is just as interesting/horrific as it was then, only different.
I'd agree with this. The Wire was special in a sense as there was no real story line as such. It was just life going on as usual. Someone dies they're replaced. Someone gets caught they're replaced etc etc.

I'd like to see Desmond's remade. I loved that show.

A THOUSAND times this.
Reboot? Just continue from where it left off, although it would obviously have to take into account that it would eventually end with the Serenity movie.

Robot Wars.

Great entertainment, and also gets a lot of kids into engineering as well as normal dad type blokes and engineers on TV. If it wasn't for that show, I probably wouldn't have gotten an electronic engineering degree and moved into that field.

I'd love babylon 5 to be rebooted and given the BSG treatment (but without the religious garbage).

It's a pity the A-team reboot movie didn't do better - I actually kinda liked it. Pity there won't be another.

I'd also like to see a reboot of airwolf.

Great shout, it was a good format. Even now I find myself listening to Jonathan Pearce on MOTD an 5live thinking his style has barely changed.

I wonder what happened to the old house robots?

I've just been searching youtube for some clips, there's only one episode on there, but Heinz Wolff appears in another TV show that should be rebooted.
