News hit yesterday of The CW picking up a pilot for a reboot of the late '90s classic Le Femme Nikita. Somewhere, thousands of 30-somethings grasped their burning arms, revealing a darkening tattoo of Peta Wilson donning a pair of stylish sunglasses, because let's face it: Nikita had one hell of a cult following.

There's something about the new Fox series Human Target that makes us feel like kids again. Why does this man-of-action adventure drama, starring Mark Valley as more-than-a-bodyguard Christopher Chance, suddenly take us back to the 1980s? Could it be that the show reminds us of a bunch of adventure series that were on the air back then? The first Human Target TV show failed back in 1992 because it had missed the 1980s action-adventure boat, but maybe now nostalgia-seeking TV viewers will give it a "chance" (sorry). We compared the new Human Target to some of our favorite '80s action shows and found that they had a lot in common -- although Target still has some tricks it can learn from them.

Even though I was born in 1988, seven years after The Muppet Show ended, I was raised on Jim Henson's empire. I guess I can technically say that I literally grew up with the Muppets because I was a baby when they were Muppet Babies. The point is, the Muppet world is glorious and continues to produce wonderful content that was created 55 years ago just by keeping these characters alive (perhaps with the exception of 2005's The Muppet's Wizard of Oz). That being said, IMHO, the most underrated member of the Muppet production universe is the short-lived sketch show Muppets Tonight.
