Which is what they should do here . Make a new Dr Smith who is more interesting . Dr Smith is iconic , but it would be awful to see it remade with someone trying to imitate him . It works in the context of a cheese 60 s scifi show . It wouldn ' t work again today . The new show will almost certainly go for a darker , more real take .
