Let's Pretend... A Poll...

What if the movie (you know, The Movie), doesn't beget a sequel and that announcement is observed and processed by the Hollywod powers that digest such things.  What if someone decides it could be a successful TV series?  I know, big stretch because it already was a successful TV series.  But can it work a second time?  Can it duplicate the success of, say... Hawaii Five-0? Do we have actors who can pull it off better than the movie?
Let's see what the community thinks.

Robert Vaughn as Waverly, yes. I agree with Spikes on that.

I like the new 5-0. I've only seen some of the original after the fact, and it's clearly quite a different beast. How do fans of original 5-0 feel about the new one?

I wonder what sort of show would come out of some applied TV genius if the effort were to do the same thing: remake it, but make it newer, more modern, stick loosely to certain canon, but then just take it somewhere else. I feel like the closer they try to stick to original, the more fans they alienate. I bet the right people could come up with something really good. They could even play around with gender in the casting... with race... make Illya Iranian or North Korean or... who knows. It would be an interesting experiment and I would definitely give it a chance if someone tried to create it.

If they mess with genres and nationalities, I wouldn't see it.
