The Wombles, except the "things that the everyday folks leave behind" they pick up are used condoms, faeces-stained tissues, needles, hurriedly-disposed of knives etc. Plus Madame Cholet stumbled upon a murder scene and had to go into a witness protection programme.

Kolchak the NIght Stalker an update. Could get pretty dark . Original series is quite fun so I'm surprised it hasn't been revisited yet.Maybe that's not enough of a twist, I am just surprised nobody has done anything with it . Is it well known?

Night Stalker was back in 2005 for 1 season w/ Stuart Townsend as Kolchak. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0460665/. I watched it, and don't remember it.
Original series is great. The scene where he's sewing the zombie's lips shut and the zombie's eyes open is seared into my brain. Also, the pilot is fun, just to see '70s Seattle.

Was just walking by the television and saw an ad for an actual PB reboot. Sadly, no rock, no crime--just a standard-looking single-mom dramedy.

A few weeks ago I actually hashed out a really elaborate Small Wonder reboot with a friend over messenger, fwiw. It centers on an adult Jamie Lawson, a stunted and underachieving man who is in therapy. For the first several episodes (perhaps more) there is no mention of Vicki whatsoever, and only gradually do you learn that Jamie's father (from whom Jamie is now estranged) dismantled Vicki after the end of the last season, and that Jamie has never really worked through his anger at his father.
Toward the end of the show, his father resurfaces -- he's now a former CIA agent gone rogue and underground, and he's been working on a top secret project, a Vicki 2.0, and it turns out he has cleverly hidden key blueprints in a microchip secretly implanted in Jamie's arm and is now ready to retrieve them so he can complete his superweapon.
