I think it's usually fun to watch. A lot of that fun is thanks to Michael Gross' character, Burt Gummer. Burt's a man obsessed with weapons and survival. He started out as a side character in the original 1990 movie and was the main character by the third movie. Gross is the only actor to have appeared in every entry to the franchise.
Like many I'm sure, I thought the franchise was finished after 2004's Tremors 4: The Legend Begins. There were rumors of other sequels for a long time, but none of them ever got past the planning stages. Then in 2015, we finally got Tremors 5: Bloodlines and now there's a part six slated for next year as well as the pilot for a second TV show!
Unfortunately, it sounds like Michael Gross might not be a part of the new show in favor of Kevin Bacon. So far, there's been no mention of Gross' involvement and they're supposedly ignoring anything after the first movie anyway. I wish they weren't ignoring the follow-ups, but we all know how much Hollywood loves rebooting shit.
Even if the new Tremors TV show snubs Michael/Burt, I still hope it's good. It's going to be on Syfy, just like the first show, a channel I've been avoiding for a long time. However, they seem to be trying to finally get their act together. Keep hearing good things about their show Channel Zero, to the point of where I'm interested in watching.
Long live Burt Gummer!

This could all be ignored if they'd just acknowledge the damn sequels, though! Most of them are good! Part 4 sucks, and 5 is underwhelming, but I'll still see Michael Gross's Tremors 6, of course. ASAP!
