Y'know, resuscitating these signature parts with new players just doesn't work for this ole boy. I realize that in my day many of the westerns and dramas I was watching were remakes of something done back in the 40s and 50s, but there was a much bigger gap in the gendres between the black and white productions and the big technicolor remakes. Digital rennovation of an old plot doesn't do that much for me, not when the original effects still seems contemporary enough. I guess the technological advances just aren't novel enough, and the new cynicism being written into most of the plots (in contrast to the campiness of the older versions) diminishes the story. Battlestar Galactica is a good example of that. Even though there is some good acting in that remade series, it just seems to be lacking something essential that the original had, at least for the first few seasons. I can say the same for many other remakes these days.
