UFO is a very cheesy British TV series from the 1970’s – it has everything a 12-year-old boy needs: explosions, great machinery, heroes and women in skimpy dresses.

Still 40 years later UFO is quite watchable for the targeted audience – and fat old bastards like me.

To my great horror there will be a "serious" remake (more here).  Anyone remember the terrible Thunderbirds remake?

Since Galactica proved to be such a success and money maker we can expect many old series turned into zombies to make some more cold hard cash.

Why is Hollywood so afraid of new stories?
