New ideas
Hollywood is devoid of new ideas - why do you think there are so many damned "reality shows" on TV now, aside from the fact there aren't hardly any talented TV writers? (I don't watch any reality shows). You think a network would take a chance on a show like "Baa Baa Black Sheep" or "Buck Rogers" today? Hell no, they stick with something that is safe - cop and lawyer shows, and sitcoms about young singles or overweight comedians with beautiful wifes. And look at the slate of new movies coming out this summer: almost all of them are sequels.
Regarding "Starsky and Hutch": you know who's in it? Ben Stiller as David Starsky, Owen Wilson as Ken Hutchinson, Carmen Electra as his girlfriend and Snoop Doggy Dogg as Huggy Bear. Upcoming pictures include "S.W.A.T", "Bewitched" and a live-action version of "The Jetsons", featuring Britney Spears as Judy Jetson (one rumor I heard). Even "Star Trek" will get another sequel in spite of the poor box office for "Nemesis".
