I know they have already done a The Odd Couple remake which surprised me as I don't feel that 2 men living together (divorced or otherwise) is a big deal anymore. Even having one of them domestic is nothing surprising as lots of men know how to cook and use a washing machine etc.

Another show is Three's Company, a man living platonically with 2 women doesn't seem like the big deal it was back when the show started. I think if they did remake it the 'Shippers would set the net on fire and want him to get with one of them. Or want the 2 women to get together.

Can you think of any other TV Shows that wouldn't work anymore if they remade them?

I don't understand this part of your post. 2 men living together was not at all unusual when The Odd Couple was first made. It wasn't a big deal then anymore than it is now. That was not the point of the show. What made the show funny was 2 men with diametrically opposed personalities living together.

I was just a kid back then so to me it wasn't just that they had 2 very different personalities it was also that they were divorced. Just my personal perception. When they did the remake I wondered whether the theme was still topical/unusual enough to keep people's interest.
