This summer we are going to get smarter with a 'Get Smart' feature. 'Knight Rider' made it's way back to television this year, as did 'The Bionic Woman'. Apparently the 'A Team' is being helmed by John Singleton (?) and Keanu Reeves is going to star in a remake of 'The Day the Earth Stood Still'. Not to mention the impossible task of remaking Hitchcock's 'The Birds' (because the remake of Psycho was so good).

(Please don't get me wrong here - I actually like the original series).
