Fox is going to make a Highway to Heaven reboot...


I never watched the show, but my parents were fans so I knew of it.


This is yet another example of "they can't possibly make the reboot faithful to the original so the fans won't like it and the nonfans won't care."


Furthermore, isn't it too late to try a reboot? All of the fans of the show are senior citizens or dead by now, not exactly a demographic that's worth aiming for. It'd be better to toss the name and create a whole new IP, right?


I remember enjoying:
Viper which was a divorced reimagining of Knight Rider
Jake 2.0 which was a divorced reimagining of the Six Million Dollar Man
Relic Hunter which was a divorced reimagining of Indiana Jones
Baby Talk which was a divorced reimagining of Look Whose Talking
And so forth.
