    How is this a reboot? Isn’t it just a continuation? Reboot implies they’re starting over…

      “Reboot: A new direction taken on by a pre-established story or character. Remake: A retelling of a story audiences have seen before, but typically with a difference.”

      This is definition of film reboot. I think you’re referring to a software/hardware reboot.

        Ooh gotcha, thanks for the reply. I would ask though, is this a reboot by that definition? Doesn’t seem to be taking a new direction.

          In my opinion it is a reboot.

          Show is obviously not “changing” but it’s under new direction (literally) and I wouldn’t be surprised if they didn’t inject more modern situations and humor into the show.

          Reboot implies starting over

          turning it off and back on again

          Correct
