    21 Jump Street (2012) and its 2014 sequel 22 Jump Street were witty, endearing movie remakes of a vintage prime-time show.

    Baywatch? It follows this year's CHiPS, The Man From U.N.C.L.E. (2015), The A-Team (2010) et al among Hollywood's failed attempts.

    The 1990s sun-and-surf drama centered on a bodacious squad of Los Angeles County lifeguards was one of the most successful television syndications, reaching 1.1 billion viewers weekly and making household names of resident hunk David Hasselhoff and Playboy playmate Pamela Anderson.
