Hey, what about "fun"?  A bit of escapist amusement ought to be the 
lifeblood of TV entertainment drama?

In the UK, we have had several series of _Hustle_ - not a repackaged 
_Saint_, but sharing at least some characteristics?

Some info at:

con an honest man".

If _Hustle_ can be a success, and maintain a following over several 
years, there _ought_ to be plenty of scope for a _Saint_ series to be 
commissioned, PROVIDING it stayed close to Charteris's 
characterisation and style.
