Hot on the heels of last night's Fuller House announcement comes news of another reboot that could be in the works. This time it's cult hit Galaxy Quest which could be seeing a revival, if Paramount gets their way.

Per Variety, Robert Gordon, who co-wrote the original DreamWorks movie with David Howard, is in negotiations to work on the TV adaptation, as are original director Dean Parisot and executive producers Mark Johnson and Melissa Bernstein.

I loved the movie, but I think the joke will wear thin by episode two

Really? I've seen that show around but never gave it a shot. So it's a club banger?

I liked it, it's different enough yet recognizable. And the guys playing the Gecko Brothers where pretty good.

Hopefully this will be an actual series of the Galaxy Quest show from the movie because I really don't see the idea of a group of actors having to live out their roles as the characters they played on a tv show working for an ongoing series. It'd be ok for maybe the first season as we watch the characters getting used to the reality of the situation they are in but at some point they will get accustomed to it and the novelty of the concept will wear off. The concept works for a movie but not for a tv series.

Then again, if they did decide to make the series an actual version of the Galaxy Quest show what would separate it from any other scifi show? I just don't get how this can be done to make it an interesting premise worthy of an ongoing series.

...who plays Salma Hayek? This is of utmost importance.
