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 8 hours ago (1 children)

Yep I just can't see this working

[–] Ledericas@lemm.ee 1 points 27 minutes ago

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

Then Zach should play Bob Kelso in the reboot.

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

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?

[–] Dave@lemmy.nz 7 points 22 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.

[–] Stillwater@sh.itjust.works 4 points 21 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 5 points 21 hours ago

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

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.

[–] kandoh@reddthat.com 14 points 21 hours ago (1 children)

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

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 16 hours ago

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

I was going to say, wait another reboot?

A reboot, you say?

[–] abdominable@lemm.ee 14 points 1 day ago (1 children)

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

[–] NocturnalMorning@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day 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 5 points 22 hours ago

Well yeah he said half

[–] xylol@leminal.space 7 points 22 hours ago (1 children)

Scrubs but in the setting of The Pitt

[–] misterdoctor@lemmy.world 4 points 20 hours 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

[–] PillowTalk420@lemmy.world 7 points 22 hours ago (1 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 4 points 15 hours ago

I want him to play JD playing Dr. Cox

[–] 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.
