Tired of the reboots - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

What's with all the reboots? It's like they take every show that was made from the past, and reboot them. I wonder what they will reboot next? Burns and Allen? Jack Benny? After they reboot all the old tv shows, then they will reboot old time radio shows for tv. The Aldrich Family? Fibber McGee & Molly? The Great Gildersleeve?

Because Hollywood is "out" of ideas. In reality they aren't, they are just too afraid to use new ideas because they don't follow the typical formula. They're too afraid to break the mold and be different. That's why you see so many reboots

And a lot more reboots are planned. I don't watch them, I think they are an insult to the originals. It is my personal opinion they ruin everything they reboot. I agree with the previous poster, Hollywood is out of idea's. I'll also add they are apparently brain dead because the new shows they do come up with aren't worth watching. In addition to the list below per link, I hear that ReBoots Of 'Happy Days' And 'Laverne & Shirley' Are 'Very Possible too.

What's bad about that is those reboots, if they are made, will be set in the 90s not the 50s which will be bad. Another thing is that Garry Marshall wouldn't be around to produce the two shows since he died a few days ago

I ask...

What the **** will they reboot next...The Norman Lear Shows like "All in the Family", "The Jeffersons", and Maude?!

I'm on the other side of the fence sort of. I am looking forward to the reboot of the Gilmore Girls coming up in November. The show ended/cancelled with so many questions hopefully will be answered with the reboot. However I don't like reboots of movies like Ghostbusters, Karate Kid, etc. Somethings should just be left alone.

Gilmore Girls isn't really a reboot, it's a continuation. Reboots are generally remakes with a different cast like Hawaii Five-O, The Odd Couple, and MacGyver.

Nordy · 07-25-2016, 08:26 PM

Well true but they did add new cast members that weren't a part of the original series I've been told

Maybe. There's already word that a One Day at a Time reboot with a Hispanic cast is coming to Netflix I think in 2017. It would be great if they keep the original theme music.

All Valerie Bertinelli's fans will boycott this show. (ahem myself)

About the only genre that does well with reboots are game shows. $100,000 Pyramid and Match Game have been my go-to shows on Sunday nights this summer.

I've watched some of the new Hawaii Five-O here and there, but give me Jack Lord anyday. Most of the other reboots are in name only, and I see why they get canceled so quickly.

I too hate it when Hollywood has to remake a film. I ask myself, what next...a remake of "Citizen Kane" or "Gone with the Wind"?

I'm a big fan of the old classic game shows and I love Match Game with Gene Rayburn. Nobody can replace him.
The reboot of Match Game....

I wouldn't put it past them, look at all the remakes of The Wizard Of Oz, none of which hold a candle IMHO.

And the three-season TNT Dallas was more of a continuation than a reboot, as many of the original-recipe players were still in there-- Hagman, Duffy, Gray, Kercheval, et al.
