Sam's daughter (Tatianna Maslany) steps into the quantum accelerator to go looking for her father (doesn't matter if she actually finds him but a guest spot might be nice before parting ways again).
Done.
Don't turn it into a police procedural, or give it an edgy makeover, or make any of the decisions CW would. Just do the above.
just ... reboot it. Dr. Samantha Beckett works just as well. I can't really articulate them, but I see some unfortunate implications in "daughter looks for dad using the machine he invented"
you could put Scott Bakula in there as some cameo in the first episode, I guess

Wasn't there a show with a horrible #title or some other 'online' name that actually got better a few episodes in? But the name was so horrible nobody watched it.

Selfie, maybe? I never watched it, but it had fans.

Reboot actual Reboot. Not that horrible travesty of a live action TRON knock off kids show.

This was it.
Also that was like seven years ago, fuck me. I thought we were making jokes about it like last year!
Pick up and revive the dead pilot for the cybperpunk NYPD Blue spinoff, NYPD 2069

I used to think, "Maybe a Xena reboot would be good!" but then I listened to Javier Grillo-Marxuach talk about the Xena reboot they were trying to get made and holy shit...
I do honestly wonder what older TV shows structured around being episodic/syndicated would look like nowadays where every show is more-or-less about a seasonal arc.

I have a theory supported by nothing that we're gonna see episodic come back big in five or ten years

I hope so!
Episodic stuff does really, really well on streaming - repeat viewers, big numbers, and (typically) larger catalogs. I figure at SOME point execs will realize where the big money is and go chasing it again.

I am far more likely to go rewatch an episode of TV that is relatively isolated from a greater narrative.
Its why Supernatural's best episode, Scoobynatural, works so well!

I'm so glad I gave it a try, based on the name and previews I was sure I was going to hate it.
I should have had more faith in John Cho, though he was already the only reason I gave it a shot

The Mandalorian is very episodic and I love that about it so much.
two other notes on this re-watch of Person of Interest
- starting immediately after "Dead Reckoning", there are blink-and-you'll-miss-'em BSODs in the interstitials, a hint that the virus is targeting the machine.
- "Relevance" is easily one of my favorite episodes.
- - the episode starts with the intro being interrupted;
- - the interstitial style changes for the relevant number;
- - and finally the episode is firmly from Shaw's perspective. This last is very important, because Shaw is the best.

must also have a cat
the cat is key
There's one where they friended God on Instagram or something.
Real talk I loved Early Edition.
Also Cupid for some reason.
God Friended Me, aka, the best/worst TV show title since Dog with a Blog.
instead of being about a genius that can do anything, it's about a former smart kid millennial taking whatever job they can off taskrabbit
Coran Attack!
What about *&%^ My Dad Says?

What a bad show that was.
Wait. It had 78 episode in four seasons?!?!?
The 30 Rock gag about that show was good.

Never in a billion thousand years would I have guessed that

This is definitely one I'd love to see more of. Im still surprised fuckin any of it made it to a TV ever.

Gotdamn I loved that show. And the main dude voiced the player character in Planescape. He has such a cool voice
