I am – Hercules!!

All is cyclical!

Just as ABC’s original “Streets of San Francisco” followed closely the release of “Dirty Harry,” the TV show’s potential CBS remake now comes on the heels of “Zodiac.”

Simon West (“Con Air,” “The General’s Daughter,” “Lara Croft: Tomb Raider”) is set to direct the remake’s pilot from a script by “Numb3rs” writer-producer Robert Port and “Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Beginning” screenwriter Sheldon Turner.

Turner compares the 21st century versions of Steve Keller and Mike Stone (played in the original by Michael Douglas and Karl Malden) to Barack Obama and John McCain, according to The Hollywood Reporter:

"One, like Obama, wants to be active and believes in rehabilitation, while the other one, like McCain, doesn't quite believe in rehabilitation and believes that the enemy is the enemy," Turner said.

"Streets" aspires to join the many other detective shows on the CBS grid, among them "CSI," "CSI Miami," "CSI New York," "NCIS," "Criminal Minds," "Numb3rs," "Cold Case" and "Without A Trace."
