Day 2: What show or movie would you like rebooted? Same premise and storylines, but all new actors, showrunners, writers, technology, and social awareness?

I actually don't think I have one. I like my favorite shows as they are, and I'll happily re-watch them as they are. ♡ And in new shows I'll equally happily see new characters and stories. :) (Now, spin-offs and/or tv adaptations of other media? Count me in! :D)

Yeah, I don't know why anyone wants a movie of things, honestly, because I feel like half the time you finally get a movie or a reboot, it misses the mark. Not always, I think The Conners is one exception (I've never seen it, and I never saw more than one or two episodes of Roseanne back in the day), but it's hard to match something people love.

Plus, there's always fanfic. ;)

I would love more spin-off and TV adaptations, though. See, that's the other thing, I think a movie for a show is hard because you have 1.5-2 hours to tell a story, rather than however many episodes, whereas a TV version could actually expand the story. Although those haven't necessarily been successful either? But I'm sure there are exceptions. Maybe that's where spinoffs come in, both for movies and for shows.

I'm actually watching Young Sheldon, which is a spinoff of The Big Bang Theory, but it's much more serious than TBBT. I don't really like TBBT - it's not for me. But I love Young Sheldon. Go figure.
