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 1 hour ago

Yep I just can't see this working

[–] VaalaVasaVarde@sopuli.xyz 9 points 11 hours ago

Then Zach should play Bob Kelso in the reboot.

[–] reddig33@lemmy.world 16 points 14 hours ago

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

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 3 points 9 hours ago

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

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 36 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

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".

When has one of these reboots worked?

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 12 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours 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 6 points 15 hours ago (2 children)

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.

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.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 3 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 3 points 14 hours ago

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

[–] Albbi@lemmy.ca 1 points 13 hours ago

The Connors has been successful.

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 15 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

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 16 hours ago

Well yeah he said half

[–] scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech 7 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I was going to say, wait another reboot?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 4 points 17 hours ago

A reboot, you say?

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 7 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

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 3 points 8 hours ago

I want him to play JD playing Dr. Cox

[–] zipzoopaboop@lemmynsfw.com 7 points 13 hours ago

And cox pops in once in a while eating muffins?

[–] xylol@leminal.space 6 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Scrubs but in the setting of The Pitt

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 4 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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 8 points 13 hours ago (1 children)

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 3 points 12 hours 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.

[–] mindbleach@sh.itjust.works 7 points 17 hours ago

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

[–] SatansMaggotyCumFart@lemmy.world 6 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I hear he’s a never-nude.

[–] InverseParallax@lemmy.world 3 points 16 hours ago

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