I think this is absolutely hilarious, rebooting a show when it only ended three years ago? Madness. What's worse is if this is successful then it will pave the way for other services and networks to reboot their shows far sooner than is ever needed.
Seriously though......why?! Reboots are typically not needed, let alone rebooting after only three years. This smells of perhaps them asking the original cast to reunite to keep the rights of the show, them all saying no and so they are forced to reboot. This will flop. Big time. |

Yup. *nods* This is almost always the reason why you see things get rebooted this early. Someone up top is worried about losing the rights to the source material to a competitor. TV Tropes even has a name for this phenomenon.Bet you bottom dollar this wouldn't have been greenlit if The Perfectionists didn't flop. |

They should pass a law that states that they can't reboot any shows that are less than thirty years old.
It will never happen, this law, but a guy can dream, right?

You sure can dream Tim. I feel the same. It's freaking ridiculous to reboot after three years. Like come on, you are not trying to appeal to a new generation. It's the same one. Who is going to watch the PLL reboot when they all just saw the old one not too many years ago end.
Streaming is killing everything.
I hope to god Supernatural ending this year won't mean they'll reboot that very soon in 2-3 years.

Let me amend. Don't outlaw streaming, just put it back to its original purpose, showing old shows.

And put them all just on Netflix, no need to separate everything into different streaming services, it's crazy to think every single company has their own now, people don't want to fork out money for every one. If that is the case, Netflix needs to lower their prices from what is it $17-20, to $10, since they don't have much content these days, since they lose the rights to everything now. |

Just no more reboots, please. We've had enough.

Indeed, though one I might appreciate: High Mountain Rangers!  With some of the old cast. |

Well, they can't have Robert Conrad, for obvious reasons. However, they can use Shane and Christian.

Yep, but this might only be a dream. *sighs* Though it'd still be cool!  |

They seem determined to make shows out of her books. Why can't they go looking for new ideas, Hollywood writers these days have no imagination, everything is always based off a book. When was the last time we ever saw something that wasn't based or adapted from a book, old film, show or comic. Just makes you look back at the 80s and 90s, and see just how creative the writers were back then, since everything from those eras are being rebooted, adapted or revived. So clearly that is the era of television that was the best when you think of it, not that I disagree, since it really had the best shows. I just feel bad that the generation these days don't have their own shows instead they just get our leftovers being rebooted. Fully agreed. The overwhelming majority of the teen dramas of the 90s weren't an adaptation or remake of anything -- BH 90210, My So-Called Life, Party of Five, Dawson's Creek, Felicity, etc. Only real exception was Buffy, but the movie it was based on was still a fully original idea. (And, the show wasn't exactly cashing in on a popular or successful movie, anyways.)
Hell, even most of the early-mid 00s teen shows (Gilmore Girls, One Tree Hill, The OC, Veronica Mars) were also still mostly based on original ideas. The late 00s seemed to be when the current era of YA adaptations and reboots started, with Gossip Girl, Neo-90210, and Vampire Diaries. Along with this also seemed to come a trend of every teen show being either an edgy murder mystery or a genre show. The "regular" teen show in the vein of BH 90210 or Dawson's Creek seems to have gone extinct.
 Couldn't agree more with that decade, so many great shows, and I also agree with you on the 00s too. Yeah ,the late 00s, is when it all changed for the worse, and then streaming took off not long after, and that didn't help. I miss the "regular" teen show in the vein of BH 90210 or Dawson's Creek, good shows. It's funny but I never could get into The OC, not sure why, I found it so very over the top, I loved Veronica Mars though. |

There is no originality left in Hollywood. I mean if they have to reboot a show that ended less than a decade ago!

Indeed. Hollywood should look back in its great era and maybe find there new inspiration. It doesn't have to be a reboot of these shows back then, just an idea maybe. |

That would require original thinking, which Hollywood no longer has.

I get now lighter work. 
With some of the old cast.
