when it comes to TV shows. The only acceptable use for reboot should be when re-starting a computer. TV shows like that are either revivals that have mostly the same cast like Murphy Brown and Mad About You, remakes of older shows with a new cast like The Wonder Years and S.W.A.T., and spin-offs with a mix of original and new characters like Girl Meets World.

Now that you mention it, that is getting really worn out.

Maybe Any TV Reboot in the 21st Century will be never be as long as the original versions that were aired during the 20th Century

Reboots seems to be the new trend nowadays for now..

There are some that work and others that don't. The 2010 Hawaii 5 0 is a great example that worked because it has a fresh new cast and it had a modern take.
