Sticking this in here to adhere to Sooth's observation about original ideas, or lack thereof. Hopefully the link works, but it's one of those "
www.blahblah/embed/widget\thisprobablywon'tlinkproperly...". It's a list of show pilots reportedly joining the fall
TV season. SOOO thankful we don't have regular
TV! I will start with the link, then I will summarize the list based on show idea.

Thriller?Idea! Now I will go back and color code for ease of viewing! Reboots will be in red, meaning STOP! Didn't include Heroes Reborn or Muppets cuz not reboots in that sense...more follow-ups. Doctor shows in yellow. Anything with cops or law in blue. Thriller types in purple. Standard
TV fare in green. Oh yeah, superheros in...um... light blue. So, excluding green cuz
TV wouldn't be
TV without comedies and dramas based on real life family scenarios, this leaves a bunch of CRAP. And I can understand the lack of original ideas, but why does it seem some stupid bastard decided to dig up the most meh movies possible to reboot into shows?! Rush Hour was okay, but it wasn't great, and neither was Rush Hour 2 (or 3 if they made one). The networks have outdone themselves this time, and they wonder why people are pulling the plug on cable!
