If you're are sick of your TV remaking shows and movies every season, don't fret. Your TV has found a solution: remaking the stuff they've already remade.

NBC has given the big ol' emerald glo-stick to a remake of the movie Parenthood, a movie that they have already turned into a show.

The show is being produced by Imagine Entertainment, the Ron Howard company that produced and made the original movie. The network has asked for a pilot and former Friday Night Lights writer-executive producer Jason Katims will breathe life into it.

Imagine has dipped its toes in this lake back in the 90s. They turned the movie into a half-hour sitcom with Ed Begley Jr. as the beleaguered father, but the show barely made it past its first few heartbeats. This time, the company wants to turn the show into an hour-long dramedy on the pratfalls of modern parenthood. So expect a lot of plotlines about those kids and their crazy iPods and their Facebooks and their moon shoes and what-not.

It's hard to judge a show before it even has a DVD cover, but it sounds like another super safe move for a network that's taking every step as if they are walking through a mine field. The Eagle has landed on the 20th anniversary of the movie that's sure to extra some extra special DVD re-release. I'm banking on either the You Made Me Play Second Base Edition or the Why Are You Pouring Water Through My Diaphragm edition.

It's a classic movie that just about everyone remembers that the producers can remake and remodel in their own image without doing much marketing or word-of-mouth advertising. Remakes, however unoriginal they may seem, mean big business for networks. So don't be surprised if Fox announces they are remaking M*A*S*H for the big screen, just so they can do a TV show remake for their network.
