Can you believe it's been 59 years since the F.B.I. first aired?! (59 years, 2 months, 5 days to be exact.)
Why in the world did the F.B.I. end?
When the F.B.I. came to an end after 9 years in September 1974, million viewers tuned in to say goodbye to Inspector Lewis Erskine (Efrem Zimbalist Jr.). And since then, they have been itching for a reunion.
Would a F.B.I. reunion disappoint people?
The F.B.I. aired from 1965-1974 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 Zimbalist Jr. said he's not sure if the F.B.I. would work today. “I don't want to see old Inspector Lewis Erskine,” he told a journalist (Zimbalist Jr. turned 105 in November). “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 F.B.I. movie?
In a recent interview, Efrem Zimbalist Jr. said he can't imagine a F.B.I. 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 F.B.I. reboot?
Recasting the F.B.I. 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 F.B.I. reunion, a F.B.I. movie, or a F.B.I. reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
