The Resident, Good Doctor and Riverdale are my favorite guilty pleasures.:)🙂

Lots of heat on Fox for not renewing Lucifer.

I can’t believe the Hawaii 5-0 reboot has been on this long. I jumped off season two when the plot went off the rails.

You lost me here. I thought a remake was re-using the same concept with a new cast, while a reboot was what Roseanne and Murphy Brown are doing. Charmed has no ties to the original (mediocre) show, as far as I’ve heard.

1. Yeah, I was using the network’s term, which is silly.

2. There actually might be some distinction. A remake indicates you are basically going to retell the same story. A reboot suggests starting over with the same initial premise but new stories. E.g., DC reboots but generally doesn’t remake.

_Roseanne_, _Murphy Brown_, etc. are considered revivals/returns.
