As Many people know, the new seasons of many hit shows come out this week. What most people don't know is just how many of these new shows are just copies of previous shows in years past. The picture to the top of this text is a photo of the show called Knight Rider. This show will appear on this coming Wednesday, but what is interesting is that this show previously aired more than 20 years ago. Coincidently the old Knight Rider premiered only two days after the new one is set to premier, but 26 years earlier.
Another hit show that people watch now is American Gladiators. This show is also almost 20 years old. When I asked an parent about what they think about this new show, they responded, "I think it is funny that they bring this show back, because originally, most people thought that it was a joke. And that the networks would bring it back, is just showing that they are running out of ideas." In my opinion I believe that this person is right. I think that the networks are just losing their creativeness to create new shows. Either this, or there are just not enough ideas to make new shows. The problem is that many ideas have already been made. There is just not that much originality any more because when you think of an idea, someone just tells you that the idea is just to close to another previous idea. I dont blame the networks for their recreation of many of these shows, but if they are going to survive the next few decades, they need to bring in a few fresh minds.

i dont agree that the networks are running out of ideas, they have many great minds that are working together.maybe because those shows were pretty successful in the past that is why the network brought them back. they might feel that if they remake the show they will get the same type of viewers as the past causing the show to be successful.
