Also, I'm not sure it counts as a "classic 1990s show", but the latest incarnation of the Tick was pretty good.

Damn right The Tick is a 90s classic! :mad:

That being said the Amazon reboot didn't catch my attention and I only watched 1-2 shows.

Depends on if it is a remake or a reboot or a followon.
PDH!

It's fun to see some classic characters return, but colour me sceptical on this one.

Agreed....

Magnum PI is doing good, for that kind of show.

Michael Clayton is on Netflix.  Anyone who hasn't seen should definitely do so.

The remake is crap, with a wooden lead as the icing on the cake.

Stranger THings 4 looks cool.  Vecna!
PDH!

Well, I didn't say it was "good".  I said it was doing good, in the ratings, you know. ;)

It's part of the NCIS 'verse.  There ain't a ton of quality acting in these shows.  Not that they're meant for actors to surpass themselves, anyway.

The ratings juggernaut that nobody is talking about. I didn't even know there was a Magnum remake.

Darth Wagtaros

Ditto.

Part of the NCIS verse? That sucks.
PDH!

You guys made me check, obviously they've replaced Higgins with a hot British chick which I presume Magnum ends up banging  :lol:  :yucky:

Higgins went on to become a teacher in middle America.  Then he got killed and his brain engrams were recorded and put into a computer that pwoers a supercar.
PDH!

I can't remember how many years ago this reboot started but I remember looking forward to watching it. This was my favourite show back in the day. And then I saw what they did to the Higgins character and didn't make it through the first episode.
