    When has one of these reboots worked?

    An example that comes to mind is the “reboot as new show but with blatant fan service cameos” formula used by “The Big Bag Theory”, “Young Sheldon”, and “Georgie’s First Marriage”.

    Scrubs could be done well in the same style. Of course, I also liked the last time they tried it.

    Another example that worked - “Mission Impossible” - the first movie was a good movie but a bad adaptation of the original show, but the series has gone on to become a completely worthy extension of the original show.

    And…well…That’s two. So I night just be sharing the exceptions that prove the rule.
