    Oh man, my dad got me into this show. Such an awesome series, and it looks like they're doing a proper job in bringing it back.

    Hopefully it will be good.

    There's no way this is going to hold up, the original is just too strange.

    However, as long as they get in remakes of Chimes of Big Ben and the Schizoid Man I'll give it a shot.

    Rover will probably be some sort of giant pokemon.

    I don't really think this show needs to be remade.

    Remakes are for things that could've been good, but weren't.

    OKay, now I've gone from 'best news all day' and feeling really optimistic, to 'Oh god what if its more like The Bionic Woman than Battlestar Galactica?'.

    Damn you, default mood of cynical pessimism.

    They won't.

    Those were very definitely seventies episodes. They will almost certainly want to make it "for a modern audience". I expect continuity, big arching mysteries, easter eggs, and that sort of thing.

    if you want to know if it's on hulu, go to hulu and search

    otherwise, I know the whole series is on dvd so if you have netflix that would be an easy way of watching it also

    there's only 17 episodes

    Never? You've never heard "I'm not a number, I'm a free man"?

    I caught the whole thing a few years back when Sci-Fi did a marathon run of it, but I've not seen it since then. It's on DVD anyway.

    This show is completely amazing and my day was just made brighter by this knowledge.

    However... how can they get one big-name actor for Number 2? Isn't one of the main points that number 2 is constantly shifting?

    if you insist on them precisely recreating every detail of the original show without exception then you should just keep watching the original
