The Worst TV Reboots Of All Time

The mere utterance of the word "reboot" is enough to send a chill down any TV fan's spine. And after perusing the shows on this list, you'll remember exactly why that is.

For every Hawaii Five-0 — CBS' remake of the classic police procedural enjoyed a 240-episode run — there's a slew of failed attempts at remaking small-screen favorites.

And you might be surprised at how many familiar faces appear on this list, from a future American Horror Story star who once served as Cupid's confidante to a Pretty Little Liars mean girl in her first TV role.

Note: We're only looking at reboots (remakes of existing properties using new actors) for this list. To that end, revivals (aka continuations of shows like Will & Grace and Murphy Brown) are not eligible for consideration. We're also excluding American versions of international shows; those crimes against television deserve their own list.

Scroll down to relive eight of the biggest flops in reboot history, then drop a comment with your own additions. Which shows would you put on our list?

The campy fun of the original series (1976–1978) was dropped in favor of a far-too-serious motif that failed to draw significant eyeballs. The infamous Writers Guild of America strike of 2007 certainly didn't help the matter, resulting in Bionic Woman's cancellation after just eight episodes.

Not even the executive-producing power of big-screen angel Drew Barrymore could save this ill-fated update of Aaron Spelling's iconic action drama. The reboot — which starred Rachael Taylor (Grey's Anatomy), Minka Kelly (Friday Night Lights) and Annie Ilonzeh (Chicago Fire) as its titular trio — was pulled from the air after just seven episodes.

Eleven years after Jeremy Piven played an earthbound god of love, the baton was passed to Bobby Cannavale, whose journey found him crossing paths with the likes of a pre-American Horror Story Sarah Paulson. Despite having Rob Thomas (Veronica Mars, iZombie) at the helm, neither version of Cupid lasted beyond a single season.

This reboot of CBS' beloved family sitcom (1966–1971) failed to capture the charm of the original. And no, your eyes aren't deceiving you — that is Sasha Pieterse (aka Alison DiLaurentis from Pretty Little Liars) in her first TV role.

Tim Daly earned a Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for his work as Dr. Richard "I Didn't Kill My Wife" Kimble, but that's about the extent of The Fugitive's success. CBS' remake of the original series (1963–1967) was cancelled after just one season.

TV's second attempt at a Fugitive reboot — this time for a much smaller screen — was tepidly received, with the consensus being that Kiefer Sutherland's detective character was not the second coming of Jack Bauer fans were hoping for.

Blair Underwood deserved better than this predictable procedural, a failed attempt at recreating what Raymond Burr brought to the screen for eight seasons (1967–1975). The reboot only aired four episodes.

Matthew Perry and Thomas Lennon's sitcom certainly lasted longer than any of the other reboots on our list (38 whole episodes!), but the one-note comedy lost whatever sizzle it once had midway through its third and final season. Hey, at least it managed to score a pair of People's Choice... nominations.
