Since literally every American sitcom is being brought back after years of hiatus, pitch your own

Golden Girls - all are dead, show is just shots of empty house

Small Wonder - Vicki the robot has been retrofitted with an AI engine, and accidentally seized control of New Jersey. Her creator spends the season attempting to stop her while being a loving husband.

Silver Spoons- Ricky Schroeder is now a MAGA billionaire and Jason Bateman is trying to scam him out of his money with a new crypto scheme.

All In the Family - no changes necessary, just reshoot the original scripts

lol nv youtube just suggested me an AITF clip with the title "this 1977 discussion could be from 2026".

i guess in 2026 Archie would be the hero

ALF - returns to earth in 2026, says "Fuck this" and leaves

after getting kicked out of a theater playing Cat Video Fest

The Honeymooners and everbody hates Ralph because he’s a dick and his wife leaves him and he has to go to anger management classes for being verbally abusive.

Three's Company, but it's a throuple and they have to pretend to their poly-averse landlady (who had a bad experience on a commune years ago) that they're just a gay couple and their straight friend. Running joke is that they can never remember which one is supposed to be straight, fueling the landlady's suspicions.

Cheers except everyone is looking at their phones and drinking non-alcoholic beverages. There is a running joek about how no one has sex anymore

Three’s Company on a rebooted Cinemax softcore block - finding the humor in polyamory, so much gauzy sex

Who’s The Boss - Tony is a redpilled former baseball player forced into working for a liberal Democratic Party campaign strategist after he loses his fortune to sexual misconduct lawsuits. Over the course of six seasons he shows her the error of her ways until she gets a Christian Nationalist elected Governor in the series finale.

Little House on the Prairie - set in 2026 but they’re sovereign citizens.

Hogan's Heroes, but it's a paean to Nazi ideology and Colonel Hogan gets waterboarded in every episode

(^might necessitate change of title)

The Odd Couple, with Steven Cheung and James Carville.

Married With Children - almost identical but completely serious rather than played for jokes, Al becomes a Republican Congressman

Coach - wacky hijinks as Coach regularly covers up sex crimes, becomes Republican Speaker of the House.

alf horror reboot

Golden Girls - all are dead, show is just shots of empty house

this made me lol. after a few weeks you see people coming and going. starting remodeling projects. eventually it turns into a dark gray/black wood/white zillow listing. the new couple moves in. they work from home and do an instagram account for their cat.

Golden Girls - all are dead, show is just shots of empty house

Golden Ghouls, where they are still there - but as ghosts!

Combine w/map's scenario above

MASH but it's as gory as The Pitt.

Klinger just likes dresses, has no desire to leave the Army.

Happy Days, but it’s set in 2006.

fucking hell

newsradio but it's just joe rogan alone in the booth saying stupid shit

Joe Rogan interviewing Andy Dick… forever.

the simpsons, but seasons 8 or 9 through the present are waved away as a guatemalan insanity pepper fueled trip, and then the story forwards to lisa's senior year of hs where the season gives her conflicts around going away to the northeast for college or staying home and going to springfield u also bart is an incel now

MASH but it's as gory as The Pitt.

MASH but it's explicitly set in an ICE detention center, and ultimately 'domestic terrorist' hawkeye pierce goes on a rampage that leaves him and three detainees dead

all the surveillance cameras that might have filmed this alleged rampage mysteriously malfunctioned

Gilligan's Kharg Island

Green Acres - reboot by Taylor Sheridan

aiui op isn’t talking about reboots/remakes so much as all these shows coming out with a new season decades later with the same ppl

P sure a friends comeback is off the cards thankfully (comeback comeback is another story) but if they do it will be the surviving friends meeting up at central perk for chandler bing’s memorial and spending the whole time berating Ross for being toxic. Then gunther blows them all up with a pipe bomb

I was thinking of later sequels like the upcoming Malcolm in the Middle one

Right, or scrubs, the comeback and so on

Purely personal/subjective, but it is interesting to me that this fairly recent trend has already moved past shows I'd cared about (I watched the Roseanne revival for a couple seasons) and has now landed on late 90s/early 00s stuff I wasn't even interested in the first time around (Scrubs, Malcolm).

That '00s Show — Relive the days of 9/11, the Iraq War, the birth of social networks and smart phones, etc. through the eyes of a group of high school kids in suburban Atlanta. Soundtrack supervisor is Lil Jon, who also has a recurring role as a substitute teacher.
