A lot can change in a few years. Feelings toward a potential reboot of a beloved early ’90s teen show, for one—and its dweeby co-star Screech could be arrested twice (once for stabbing a guy), serve his time and be placed on probation, for another. So is the story of Saved by the Bell. You might remember Tiffani Amber…
Rumors of a Charmed revival first surfaced in 2013 and immediately led to criticism and debate, as reheated versions of beloved programs so often do. That’s probably why confirmation of the “feminist” reboot wasn’t realized until last year, when the CW promised to bring the show back as a “prequel, reimagining”…
If there’s even a sliver of a chance that the former CW series Girlfriends—the show where we met and fell in love with Tracee Ellis Ross—can get a reboot or a movie with a proper ending, I’m giving Hollywood my blessings to make it happen.
MTV has announced a bunch of new shows that are mostly not new but still definitely shows.
Finally, a reboot that I support and will watch at least three episodes of before getting tired and moving along to something else entirely!
A rather shady post at The Hollywood Reporter alerts us to the reboot of Aeon Flux, an MTV cartoon from the mid-’90s about a sinewy hacker with a housefly that lived in her eyelashes (and some other stuff). I characterize this otherwise unremarkable news item as shady because in conveying its message to the world, it…
You may have heard that Parks and Recreation, a show that was still airing new episodes in 2013, is maybe, kinda POTENTIALLYYY looking at a reboot. I cannot emphasize “potentially” enough here: Amy Poehler and Nick Offerman were asked about the possibility of a Parks reboot on Ellen, and they both seemed genuinely…
There’s been turmoil in the air ever since the CW announced that it’s bringing back Charmed—the beloved series about three witches using their powers to fight demons while trying to live relatively normal adult women lives—as a “fierce, funny, feminist” reboot. Those three little F-words have not sat well with at…
Kevin Can Wait has officially been cancelled for (::looks at watch::) a little over a week now, which means it’s time to reboot it.
The Roseanne reboot had incredible ratings right out the gate, buoyed by nostalgia and curiosity about how the show would transpose the real Roseanne Barr’s Trump support onto her fictional character. The line between them has always been thin, but for former fans, it’s a bit baffling that Roseanne Conner is so…
Get ready to be uncomfortable all over again. Get ready to be re-fucked gently with a chainsaw.
The ’90s reboot to end all ’90s reboots is here—Nickelodeon is bringing back its iconic game show Double Dare this summer with 40 episodes. I’m not sure who asked for this, but sign me the fuck up.
The cast of Felicity is meeting up at the ATX TV 2018 Festival for their 20th anniversary, and the vibe is very: “Get your phones out for a big announcement.” It’s sort of like a marriage proposal on Christmas—everyone will already be there, so let’s do it.
For about 20 minutes of airtime, the first episode of the Roseanne reboot played catch-up. Arguing its relevance, it crammed in references to cultural touchstones that occurred in the 21 or so years the show was off the air. There were jokes about Obamacare, Harry Potter and 50 Shades of Grey, taking a knee, female…
In the past few years, we’ve seen the Tanner Family, the Conner Family, and Cory Matthews and Topanga return to television. And now Clarissa might be coming back, right on time to when scrunchies are officially cool again.
Is there any movie from at least a decade ago that Hollywood won’t remake? Pretty sure not. And that includes, obviously, movies that are themselves remakes. I’m fine with the concept of everything being a rehash of what came before, but at least try to fool me with new movie titles, Hollywood, please.
As fans learned in Season 6 of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, its darkest and arguably best season (don’t @ me), Buffy should be allowed to rest in peace. To resurrect her would be a cruel and ultimately selfish act. So, of course, network execs want to do it.
We can debate whether or not we need American Idol back so soon—it only went off the air two years ago, which means the gap between getting the boot and being rebooted is shorter than ever. One day that gap will cease to exist, and then what? Some version of the singularity where the computers take over but all they…
Paramount has delayed the premiere of its Heathers reboot, citing the Parkland shooting as the reason for the push.
