Reboots

T

TVCOOL

Is there an chance that Fox, ABC, CBS or NBC plan to relaunch Good Times, All in the Family, Married with Children and The Jefferson's can be revived from the dead like One Day at a Time, Murphy Brown and Roseanne.
 
Three of the four shows you listed are owned by Norman Lear, so I imagine it's up to him and any other people who control the copyrights. Lear is listed as an Executive Producer on the One Day At a Time reboot. I assume that's to pay him for use of the name and characters. They got Gloria Estefan to re-sing the original theme. That show is on Netflix, which seems to have a lot of money to spend these days.
 
Home Improvement? Growing Pains? Brady Bunch like Fuller House? West Wing? ER? Selena Ward show that was on ABC? Mary Steenburger show that was on CBS think Ghost Whisper? Parenthood? Next installment of a made for TV Disaster Movie on NBC or CBS? Seinfeld?
 
Who are all these people who want to re-live the 90s?

Chicago Med is a 21st century ER.

In case you didn't notice, TV and movies recycle concepts constantly. Chicago Med is not the first reboot of ER, and it won't be the last. In fact, other than the concentration on emergencies and trauma cases, ER was a reboot of dozens of TV medical shows that preceded it - Ben Casey, Dr. Kildare, The Nurses, Medical Center, Marcus Welby, etc...

It's like the 70's detective shows, you know - the fat detective (Cannon), the blind detective (Longstreet), the elderly detective (Barnaby Jones). Recently, we have had different eccentric doctors - the drug addicted and egotistical doctor with emotional baggage (House), and now the genius young autistic doctor (The Good Doctor).

If this website exists in a decade, we'll be talking about reboots of those newer shows. The reboot of Hanna Montana with Miley Cyrus's daughter? Wait for it...

Well one of the Back to the Future movies was right with one thing though that back when the movie was in the planning process the staff mentioned that 1980's trends would be big again in this decade like the cafe 80's reference and that turned out to be true when Bruno Mars and staff had some songs that resembled the 1980's. Plus some TV Shows like Fuller House on Netflix went along with that trend though.

Update Seinfeld reboot speculation is at play here.

He wants to be a re-gifter.

Jerry Seinfeld won’t rule out a revival of his beloved sitcom “Seinfeld,” the comedian revealed Tuesday on "Ellen."

"It's possible," he teased after host Ellen DeGeneres asked him about the potential of a “Seinfeld” reboot.

Seinfeld, 63, didn't expound further, but his acknowledgement that even a slight chance exists that the show could return was enough to earn a raucous reaction from the audience.

Of course, there’s been plenty of yada, yada, yada from hopeful fans begging for a “Seinfeld” reboot for years, and Seinfeld did not seem eager to bring the series back when he discussed the matter several months ago.

"Why?" Seinfeld told Entertainment Tonight in September. "Maybe it's nice that you continue to love it instead of us tampering with something that went pretty well."

A "Seinfeld" reunion was a storyline during the seventh season of "Curb Your Enthusiasm" — "Seinfeld" co-creator Larry David's show — in 2009.

Bad idea, as far as I'm concerned, and the Seinfeld reunion episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm covered it well. It's better to imagine what happened to the 4 characters when they got out of prison for being jerks, than to have it explained to us. And there is a point where fiction and reality emerge, and it would be strange to have to compare the character of the 60 year old balding Jerry of the show, who presumably had some minor success as a stand-up, then became...I don't know...a lawyer, or something - to the real Jerry who is a billionaire who got to take it easy these past 20 years, and just do fun projects.
