It would cool to see The Streets of San Francisco revived, but if by any chance it will, the show better be filmed within the city itself like the original series and not be hollywood-ize!

I moved to the U. S. from Israel in 1974 and loved The Streets of San Francisco show. I would love to see a remake.

This is my favorite show of all time. If you make a new series you really need to focus on the genuine friendship of the the two partners with an age difference involoved. As everyone on here seems to agree it has to have the edgy feel of the streets and the city of sf will add alot to the show. Good luck and i’ll be waiting.

Love the old show.. though nobody could replace Malden and Douglas. Acting will be paramount as the new actors have HUGE shoes to fill. Again the new show must not diverge from the original gritty style of the old show format.. or else it will fail miserably like many of the shows out there.
Unfortunately for TV today, shows cheapen themselves to attempt so semblance of a storyline which ends up being as bad as Pamela Anderson in ‘Barbed Wire’.
I have faith that you won’t mess this up, buddy boy.

Don’t forget car chases! and chasing bad guys on the rooftoops! But don’t forget good scripts! I’ve watched the first two seasons so far on dvd, and the writing on the shows have varied between great to down right compelling. i think most fans of cop dramas would welcome a new sosf, but remember to keep it Gritty!

SOSF was the best cop show ever made. Please respect the show’s legacy and do not make a retread like Knight Rider or BH 90210. Also, the Bionic Woman was way to slick and moderized which audiences didn’t like. My suggestion is stay true to the show’s original formula and it’s gritty appeal. Malden and Douglas had the perfect chemistry, so the actors will be key as well. Don’t try to put a twist on the characters by trying to get diverse with the casting, i.e. change race, sex, add an extra character, etc. Stone and Keller worked then and they work now. Stick with the original formula and it will work…Trust Me!

I agree, this has got to be done. SOSF was groundbreaking, and is perhaps one of the few series that could undergo an update. The proviso being as everyone seems to agree here, dont make it too Flash, too Playstation era….stay true to the original style, but make it for today. Its got a great headstart….the best city in the world ! I’m from the UK, but hey

Well San Francisco could use a good show that’s shot in town. This would be great for TV and great of SF. There’s nothing better than seeing the back shot of fisherman’s wharf or the Transamerica building. i use to love the roll up at
the Fairmont Hotel…..
thank, Greg a true fan of San Francisco

I have always thought a good quality remake of SOSF would be great. As long as they don’t “Hollywood-ize” it by make it way too phony, or by having shots of LA stand in for SF. (Which of course LA could NEVER do).
Also, it needs to be gritty like NYPD Blue, and not focus on the kookiness and gay-centric feel of The City. Then it will simply become a parody and not last more than a few shos at best.
Come on guys, you’ve got a proven winner here, don’t mess it up!
Here’s a hint: Film on foggy nights at water’s edge. Use the old run down projects as scenes of crimes, chase people up and down holls and through Chinatown. Show the Wharf in the early morning hours. Spend tme way out in the western avenues. Use your imagination, and stay as far from LA as possible!
