Should reboot get a reboot?
Jan. 12th, 2010 11:09 amWired had an article about shows that should be rebooted.
Their readers suggested their own ideas.
I'm not quite sure their readers quite see the point. The reason to reboot is if a show is looking tired and dated and worn out but has redeeming aspects. Firefly is too new for this. Babylon 5 is a self contained epic Firefly doesn't need a reboot. It needs to be renewed fro a second season. Lexx is a timeless clasic that did what it did perfectly.
The whole thing though reads as a "shows I loved as a kid" list.
Some good ideas there though. Greatest American Hero was a great series and the Superhero trope is sufficiently timeless that it should work. Max Headroom - It would be nice to have some decent satire again. Quantum Leap could work. All a little too episodic for post 1990's TV though.
Is there a difference between a reboot and a remake?
And why is there no Reboot:)
