I can see comics for those possibly being okay, but I probably wouldn't pick any of them up. The only one I have a strong attachment to is Punky Brewster. I watched and enjoyed a little Saved By The Bell, but it was more of a fallback for me, something to watch when there was nothing else on. I liked Knight Rider at the time, but I can't watch it now. Maybe a modern version of KITT and the lack of Hasselhoff would help. I didn't see much Airwolf, but I suppose they could run with the concept. Miami Vice has a decent setting for stories. We'll see what they do with it, I suppose.

They could certainly run with Bravestarr. Especially if they play up the steampunk angle a bit more and give it a few Firefly-like elements. There's plenty of room for stories there. Maybe Count Duckula, The Real Ghostbusters, Inspector Gadget, Jem, The Littles, Strawberry Shortcake, Teen Wolf, and Thundercats. Some would obviously be aimed more at kids than older audiences, but I think they could really go somewhere with Jem. Like what they did with the new Teen Wolf show. They reworked it into a more adult drama instead of a cheezy comedy concept. I went in expecting something stupid, but it's pretty well done and it's on my shortlist of Things I'm Watching Currently.
