They need to stop trying to make Fletch happen.

It landed on the "fin".

What idea? The premise of The Last Starfighter? Or the imagery taken from the short film that is Pixels's credited inspiration?

The resurrection of the show was in first-run syndication. The reruns that people saw on TBS were syndicated reruns. The two aren't really connected.
