LOL! Great Topic! Okay, here are my nominations. I will resist the urge to completely unload and will restrict myself to the top three.

Cop Rock (not in real life, not in anime, not ever!)
Perfect Strangers (ph33r the Balki!)
Automan (didn’t we try this once with Turbo Teen?)

well, first off I’d have to agree with Shockwave: Perfect strangers would be more that a little frightening to see as an anime.
In my opinion:
Friends
Seinfield-(it was a show about NOTHING!)
-I’d say those becuase I cannot stand them as is and I dont want to see them remade. Even as an anime
However, something like Josie and the Pussycats and Scooby Doo shouldn’t be touched just for the reason that they are classics, but it’d be interesting to see how they would pull them off.

Steve Urkile as a anime… Yuck! Then they would hsave a movie called Ulkira instead of Akira… Very disturbing.

Threes a Company. That one would be scary.

Gilligans Island would be a riot.  Can you imagin how they would draw Ginger and Mary Ann? WooHoo!

Humm….

The A-Team.  Not sure that would go over well.  To Cheesey.

I would also have to say…

...Happy Days.  Humm… Fonzy with Rick Hunter hair…

My vote would go to Freinds.  No more over-done soap opera comedies!  Please!  There’s enough of those in Anime already!

The A-Team.  Funny you should mention that one.  I once saw a music video where someone had taken the A-Team theme song and put together a montage of Bubblegum Crisis.  Even the sound effects matched up!  It was really funny!

That would be about as bad as anime of Knight Rider, or Air Wolf and other super vehicle oriented shows of the 80s…

KITT speaking fast Japanese to Micheal with subtitles… there is something inherently comical about that.

Frank Herberts Dune(it’s a great book but as an anime?)

E.E. Doc Smith’s Famous Lensmen(oops their is a couple of Lensman animes their nothing like the books though)

hmmm

G.I. Joe the real American Hero
G.I. Joe Sergant Savage and the Screaming Eagles
G.I. Joe Extreme
G.I. Joe Special missions
you get the point.


hmm

actully as long as it was better than the A-team cartoon a anime Mr. T wouldn’t be bad.

Their is by the way a bunch of anime storys in the Mr. T vs everything website.

i think the a-team would be bad-ass as an anime—they’d be able to do a LOT more damage.  knight rider would be a supped-up version of speed racer—not THAT bad.  airwolf might be pretty cool too.  there’s only one show i can think of that would be HORRIFIC as anime:

well, more than one:  anything by hanna-barbera

those are classics and you can not alter those AT ALL—right, mad hatter?

Kelsey Gramer and his cohorts of yuppies would spew chunks.

Jeapordy and Wheel of fortune would suck to.

Dawsons creek…yeah the japanese version of that song I can’t stand “I don’t wanna wait”

Battle Star Galactica….been there done that…think about it ppl another anime based on that story line would be laughed at.

and anything aron spelling produces would be wasted ass wipe on paper.

I’m not sure about Dr. Who still you got robots chasing humans.

Shadows of the Empire.  that episode between Empire strikes back and Return of the jedi.  Just dig up those old fossils and get carrie fisher off of rehab and you got some voice actors…mark wouldn’t have a problem (ha ha ha get it)

Sam Raimi stuff like Hercules and Xena would not go over well…compare those shows to the other fantasy adventure anime…

60 million dollar man….wait a minute wasn’t that done already?

any way I’ll go on and on but that is just for starters
