The 23 Top Time TVs
All restarts do not make mockery of originals. May we present the best TV restarts ever.
People always talk about the dryness of creativity in Hollywood these days. Each production seems to be a sequence,an adaptation, A spin-off or a restart (the type that is the most delicate). The restart, defeatist say, is a poltron capitalization on nostalgia intended to bring in the big males and the quality is a reflection afterwards. (Exhibit A:FULLER HOUSE, Whose first season has 35 percent on morneRotten tomatoes.) Well, not all restarings are quite also soulless and stale. In fact, some are real level-ups, drawing inonly The right amount of nostalgia while bringing a new perspective at the table. These 23 television restarts are the cream of culture.
1 Queer Eye
WhenQueer Eye for Straight Guy Bravo created in 2003, one year before all the state had legalizedgay Wedding The show was revolutionary in his own right. Here are five were homosexual men on premium Time television, tearing off the cultural boundaries while making all the ways, hair food to clothing decoration to straight men who desperately needed them. After two seasons, the show has expanded its scope (to those of all genres and sexual orientations) and shortened its title, simply,Queer Eye. Then he finally ended after his fifth season in 2007.
More than a decade later, in 2018, Netflix restartedQueer Eye. And just like the original, the recent redup is nothing of a phenomenon. Teamy stories of human interest are at the heart of each episode, taking the original formula to new depths. In addition, the new actors themselves have catapped in a particular status listJonathan Van Ness-With their charism and undeniable chemistry. have been released four seasons of eight episode until acclaimed by criticism (the restart, overall, has an average rating of 91 percent onRotten tomatoes)
2 Tick
The first Tick entertain the American public as the protagonist of a parodiccomic superhero in the 1980s late. He was stupid and campy in the neth degree, there is a bad guy named Chippendale Chairface, for example, but it was quite popular to make the trip on television. The Tick first struck the small screen in 1994, in a slightly successful lively series on Fox, and again in 2001, in a live-action not so successful. (He ran for only eight episodes before Fox shot.)
Then, in 2016,Amazon video premium restartedThe tick.While the first two adaptations leached hard in the ridiculous source material, the restart takes a little more seriously. It did not miss it with hilarious pitrerings, you mind, but it was a little more nervous; The characters fought on a dough, the Camerawork was often dark and in a bad mood, and the special effects are of first order. He got stellar comments-the second season has 100 percent onRotten tomatoes-But Amazon Premium chose not to renew the show for a third season.
3 The twilight zone
The twilight zone, In its five seasons of origin, possessed a thematic and tonal range that some shows could imitate: each episode was narrative autonomous, but they all shared a feeling of deep mystery and black humor, and most often offered a surprising twist . (Not to mention, they were quite terrifying, too.) Hosted and narrated byRod SerlingThe 1960s program dazzled critics and viewers on their guarded toes.
Over the years, anthology format has inspired a lot of shows, including the very popularBlack mirrorSo it makes sense that someone would resurrectThe twilight zonefor the 21st century. The best part? The restart is 2019 barred byJordan Peele, Hot on the success ofGo out. If anyone haspsychological horror chops To bring heritage such a, he is him.
4 Roots: Miniseries
Alex Halex 1976 ROMANRoots: The saga of an American family spent a 46 weeks staggering onThe New York Times Bestsellers List When it was published, so it was not a surprise when, the following year, the book was transformed into a mini-TV series.

5 Girl meets the world
Of course, it is difficult for a romance of the college to count among the biggest love stories of television of all time, butBoy meets the worldCory and Topanga are up there with Ross and Rachel onFriends and Sam and Diane onCheers. SoThe children of the 90s were absolutely on the moon when the Disney chain announced that they would restartBoy meets the world With the girl of Cory and Topanga, Riley (Rowan Blanchard) The restart,Girl meets the world, ran from 2014 to 2017 on Disney Channel and, although facing a new generation, she struck many of the same sweet notes and tackled many problems related to the same relatible relationship.

7 Mystery Science Theater 3000: the return
The '90 seriesMystery Science Theater 3000-A show science-fiction sketches with high concept that ran for 12 seasons - could never be replicated ... or so we thought. Then, in 2015, fans announced more than $ 5 million to a restart onKickstarterAnd Netflix ran with her.

9 Hawaii five-0
Once upon a time before theLaw and ordersandCsiS has resumed the world,Hawaii five-o Was the longest and executed police procedure from 1968 to 1980. Basically, it was exactly like every show of this type except on Hawaii's dream beaches. Well, the restart of the CBS 2010 - which has as many beautiful pictures of sandy vistas, but infinitely fewer oversized brown costumes - is hot on its heels. The 10th season was created in September 2019 and given stable assessments, it shows no sign of stop.
10 Battlestar Galactica
The first iteration ofBattlestar Galactica, who ran in 1978 for a season before getting the ax, was both campy and capped in an equal measure - a convoluted space opera that could not differentiate from other complicated space operas of the time:Stars wars andStar Trek. But the show has collected a cult and generated a multimedia franchise that resumed so much vapor that Syfy restarted in 2003 as a miniseria. The minsteries were sufficiently successful for the network to control a complete series, which ended up working for four seasons. He picked up the booty of a critical praise pirate: in 2019,The New York Times even called the restart of one of the best TV dramas sinceSopranos. Not bad for the small science fiction that could!
11 Carmen Sandiego
At the origin of avideo game, then a play show, then a series of cartoons,Carmen Sandiego has had so many new businesses as the character has passports. So it's not a surprise that she is back, in a second animated series. Where is in the world this time? On Netflix!One day at a timeMoreno expressed animated original Carmen in the 90s, and although hers were big shoes to fill,Gina Rodriguez, ofJane La Virgin Fame, does an admirable or even worthy job in the iteration 2019. (Doing: Moreno played the grandmother of the character of Rodriguez onJane La Virgin.) A second season starts in October and we can not wait to see where our superfutinum holder ends next.
12 Voltron: Legendary defender

The first restart season came out on Netflix in June 2016. The eighth and last season were published in December 2018. In total,Voltron: Legendary defenderCouru for 76 episodes, just barely surpass the originalVoltron72-EPISODE.
13 Flash
When the Flash (Alias, Barry Allen) had its first Solo exit on CBS from 1990 to 1991, it was a simpler period for comics adaptations. There were no crossovers and no "cinematographic world". But today, the flash can thank the supersization of small superheroes - more precisely, the "arrowverse" - for its existence.
Allen (played byGrant Gustin) appeared for the first time on the show CWArrow In 2013. The network then used this as a jump jump point to reintroduce the world toFlash In 2014. Restarting has become strong for six seasons. Oh, and by the way,Flash Has not forgotten its roots of small roots:John Wesley Shipp, who played Allen on the original CBS series, plays Allen's father on the restart.
14 Sabrina's shivering adventures
The years 1990/2000Sabrina teen girl witch leaned in the character Goofyteenager Persona, but Sabrina finally embraces his dark side on the reboot of Netflix of the show,Sabrina's shivering adventures. The pasteryKiernan Shipka (Mad Men) Stars like the holder and is authorized much more space for the emotional complexity thatMelissa Joan Hart Never been on the original ABC / The WB. And thanks to the freedom that Netflix allows it, it is a truly terrifying program, especially in relation to the silly humor that traveled the original. The first season was a crushing success and a second is on the way.
15 Riverdale
On the CWRiverdalewe will review all our favorite characters from theArchie Comics, which have been transformed into a series of short-lived cartoons in 1968 calledThe archie show. This adaptation followed proper creak scenaroises about Archie and Pals (Betty, Veronica and Jughead) and features optimistic musical sequences where they performed theHit song "sugar, sugar."
CornRiverdale, the dark reimagination, in a bad mood, dramatic of archiaid, diverts the veneer of the perfection which surrounds the hometown of the children of Riverdale. There is a murder, there is betrayal, there are secret affairs. It goes without saying,Riverdale is not your mid-centuryArchie.
16 The magic school bus rides again
The magic school bus was late for renewal, especially because of all fascinating advances that occurred in science from the original PBS series completed in 1997. (Artificial intelligenceSomeone) under the direction of a new Mrs. Frizzle-The Original has now completed his doctorate.

17 Star Trek: discovery
AfterStar Trek: Enterprise Enveloped his race in 2005, the franchise disappeared in a deep space. (Yes, three blockbuster block movies came out in the meantime, but they are not part of theStar Trek chronology.) Then, in 2017, CBS brought the franchise of stars exploration space withStar Trek: discovery. Define 10 years before Captain Kirk and the crew go where nobody has passed before,Discovery Follows the crew of a Starfleet ship that is involved at war with klings. The restart, which has a third season to come, has been so successful that the CBS has broadcastanother New Serie. In 2020, keep an eye onStar Trek: Picard, who will playSir Patrick Stewart resumed his role as Jean-Luc Picard (the captain ofStar Trek: the next generation)
18 Dallas
The originalDallas, About a family of oil barons, was so soapy, the Sudes practically paid televisions. And it was, without question, the most successful spectacle of his time. He first broadcast in 1978 and crossedThe entire 80sBefore wrapping its astonishing of 357 episodes of the episode in 1991. And some of these episodes have shot in numbers that would have today's television expections with envy. For example, after season 3 ended on a cliffhanger with J.R. ewing (Larry Hagman) Getting flicked with an unknown assailant, the first season 4 drew in a real drop in the jaw83 million The viewers, all curious to finally discover who shot at J.R. after a long-standing hiatus.
Given hisTexas size heritage, the result is thatDallas was ripe for restart. The newer version of the show, which made its debut on TNT in 2012, followed the children of the main characters of origin. Former distribution members also returned, including Hagman, but the reincarnateDallas did not work as well as the original. In 2014, TNT canceled it after three seasons, but some might say that it started the "80s and the 90s restart the trend.
19 American idol
American idol has been on the air for so long that it is easy to forget that some of the most successful Pop stars in the history of music - likeCarrie UnderwoodandKelly Clarkson-Got their start on the scene of the show of reality. The singing competition ran for a height of 15 seasons before Fox decided to cancel it in 2016. But, of course, people could not stay away and abc brought the singing competition just two years later . Although the restart is still hosted byRyan Seacrest, None of the old judges returned. The new panelKaty Perry,Luke Bryan, andLionel Richie-The two winners crowned and will name another in 2020.
20 Roswell: New Mexico
InRoswell, theurban legend 1947UFO The accident is reimagined as a basis for a modern love story between a young server of young dinner and a brown stranger on earth. The original television series appreciated the popularity as a guilty pleasure soap on the WB from 1999 to 2002. The new iteration,Roswell: New Mexico, away from purely melodramatic and in the political role. In this restart, foreigners are considered with hatred and fear, allowing a good dose of non-subtle political comments on the current state of immigration in America.
21 My friendship with my little pony is magical
We could say that the 1980sMy little Pony had afeminist Slant, but the 2010 restart,My friendship with my little pony is magical, celebrates the power of the girl on a brand new level. The characters are much more exterior than in the original, and they (but not heavy) have all the virtues of the fraternity and the true female friendship. Stories are much more committing because adventures have higher stakes and dialogue is faster and more expected than the original has never been. Even adult men, known as "Bronus, "Follow the series of the Discovery Family - who ran nine seasons so far away from irony.
22 90210
After years in the shadow of nostalgia, the most famous postal code of all time returned to the limonest when90210 was resurrected on the CW in 2008. The restarted series followed a new harvest of privileged high school students on the California coast, including Erin Silver (Jessica Stroup), the half-sister of Kelly Taylor (Jennie Garth) and David Silver (Brian Austin Green) from the original series. (Garth, withShannen Doherty andTori Spelling, appears on the reboot.)
While it may not contain a candle at the'90 Original, the five-year performance of the show has proved that young people always want a show that semiped the disordered dramas of teenage life with a heavy dose of this young, rich and glamorous lifestyle. Oh, and the fine sandy beaches and the beautiful sunsets were not injured, either.
23 Doctor Who
Doctor Who Was went so long since people often forget that this has been restarted at all. The British Sci-Fi series started in 1963 and was broadcast until 1989. After a seven-year-old, it reappeared a single season in 1996, and then stopped again for almost ten years until The 2005 awakening on which the body doctor has been traveling through space and time since. During the series, 13 different actors played the leading role of the tourist doctor. Most fans agree on this peakDoctor Who Has already been during this last Incarnation of the 2000s, although we can discuss Infinitum advertising on who made the best doctor. (For our money,Jodie Whitaker, the first female doctor, is fantastic, but David Tennant andMatt Smith can not be reduced.)
