None, just none. Leave the them alone and create something complete new and different.

I wouldn't mind seeing a new take on something that didn't do well but had an interesting premise. I always thought Small Wonder was an odd choice for a sitcom but would make a crazy Westworld style drama. It's about a family that adopts a little girl that is secretly a robot. I think it would be interesting if the robot was created in response to the death of a child that the father has to cover up because he killed her and is trying to keep the secret from everyone including Vicki the robot. Something like that, but not necessarily that could be good.
Edit: The big twist would be that the Dad didn't kill Vicki. He made a robot that was identical to his daughter in every way in order to show investors and get them to guess which one was real and robot Vicki killed real Vicki. It could work.

I agree, but they don't do remakes on stuff that fails they do remakes on stuff that was great and does not need to be rebooted.

so if that's true and you really want a Small Wonder reboot of any variety, just engage in some kind of "media psyop" hyping up the original in places where sites like io9/Gizmodo will take notice so it looks like a great-enough-not-needing-to-be-rebooted show that it gets rebooted

I agree. I don't see a point in rebooting shows.

Very good take. Reboots, franchises, cinematic universes, all symptoms of decaying mediums with less risk taking, less originality. More late-stage capitalistic.
