reboots rarely work out, especially done so "soon" after a series ended. reiminagied series can be good though, like with BSG, but still fall shorts on many things, due to showrunners personal agenda.

[-] LadyButterfly@lazysoci.al 1 points 17 hours ago

Yep I just can't see this working

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 points 9 hours ago

especially with the executives or another showrunner trying to push a agenda based on current issues, it almost always ruin the show.

to emphasize, what they think thier current audience is offended of.

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 39 points 1 day ago

I think I will reserve judgement until I see it. A getting-the-gang-back-together series or two could be a good time, or it could be another "Scrubs: Med School".

[-] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 10 points 1 day ago

When has one of these reboots worked?

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 13 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

Futurama reboot(s) are good. Not quite up to original run but good.

Trailer park boys had a decent season or two with Netflix

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 9 points 1 day ago

I don't know about others, but I kinda liked Picard. It was clear it was just an excuse to get the old gang back together, but it was enjoyable to watch.

I'm not sure how enjoyable it would have been to someone unfamiliar with TNG, but I enjoyed it.

[-] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

Honestly I did get giddy setting the TNG crew back together in season 3 of Picard. I could leave the rest

[-] Dave@lemmy.nz 5 points 1 day ago

Now that you mention it, it probably could have done without season 2.

[-] Ledericas@lemm.ee -1 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

picard was terriblely written series, the "nostalgia" gimmick was just to save the dying show.STD and snw wernt that great, and snw ranked about the other 2 series. however, LOWER DECKS AND PRODIGY were much better series than the other 2.

kurtzman being involved dint help anything either.

The Connors has been successful.

[-] reddig33@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

Guess he and his Scrubs buddies got tired of doing T-Mobile commercials.

[-] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 9 points 1 day ago

Then Zach should play Bob Kelso in the reboot.

[-] kandoh@reddthat.com 15 points 1 day ago

I don't think ending each episode with a monologue over an indie song will work today

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 5 points 1 day ago

Or is that just what we tell ourselves to cope with your broken promises and dreams?

[-] Jake_Farm@sopuli.xyz 16 points 1 day ago

I was going to say, wait another reboot?

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 day ago

A reboot, you say?

[-] abdominable@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago

Half this show was about gay, dick, and fart jokes. Will be an interesting reboot.

[-] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

Not everything was like that. In fact, the first season had almost none of that stuff, arguably my favorite season before they started making sillier and sillier jokes.

[-] njm1314@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

Well yeah he said half

[-] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 8 points 1 day ago

I hope he comes back as JD, but now he's older and wiser and just as jaded as Dr. Cox, basically fulfilling the same role Cox did.

[-] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I want him to play JD playing Dr. Cox

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 8 points 1 day ago

And cox pops in once in a while eating muffins?

[-] xylol@leminal.space 7 points 1 day ago

Scrubs but in the setting of The Pitt

[-] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I’ve never watched scrubs but if they rebooted the show with the same cast and characters but it was super serious and dramatic, I would definitely watch the original series and then the new one to compare because it would be so totally unique

[-] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 9 points 1 day ago

The original series is well worth watching today, as someone who just watched it for the first time a few years ago.

All 8 seasons are great

[-] Zorque@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

I liked the spin-off but it felt like they never really gave it a chance to be its own show for some reason.

I hear he’s a never-nude.

[-] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Oh fuck you dude, now I need to start another rewatch.

[-] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 1 day ago

Should be fun. Lean into the difference in experience as a mature professional. Get some perspective on why Dr. Cox is Like That.
