The ‘Burbs – which just recently debuted as part of the 2026 TV schedule – represents another instance in which an IP has been rebooted and, thankfully, the result is solid this time around. The show is, of course, based on Joe Dante’s 1989 film of the same name, which is one of Tom Hanks’ most underrated movies. Created by Celeste Hughey, this show lends further credibility to the notion that there are some film properties that work well for TV, and there’s another Hanks-led flick I think deserves the same treatment.
