Can you believe it's been 35 years since Booker first aired?! (35 years, 1 month, 28 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did Booker end?
When Booker came to an end after 1 year in May 1990, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Detective Dennis Booker (Richard Grieco). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a Booker reunion disappoint people?
Booker aired from 1989-1990 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Grieco said he's not sure if Booker would work today. “I don't want to see old Detective Dennis Booker,” he told a journalist (Grieco turned 59 in March). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.
Still hoping for a Booker movie?
In a recent interview, Richard Grieco said he can't imagine a Booker reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
What about a Booker reboot?
Recasting Booker for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Booker reunion, a Booker movie, or a Booker reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
