Television

The title "Scrubs: Med School" is fine for me as a spinoff. Different performance of the intro song, fine. We've got a new POV character, a new gang as it were, younger, even younger than the original crew, they're not first day interns, they're med school students, so they're even more raw and incomplete as people, they've got earlier lessons to learn.

They didn't give the first series time to rest, they had no faith in the new concept or the new cast, so they bring back a lot of the old cast to...exist? They had all gotten one of TV's biggest "and they lived happily ever after"'s, so they're not really able to have growth moments and drama of their own, they mostly serve as rocks for the new cast to bash themselves against.

If they'd given it a few years to let the audience start wanting more, and then focused entirely on the new crew with maybe one of the original actors in a recurring role (like have Cox or Turk as the hospital administrator, Kelso's role) and maybe have other characters return as single episode guest stars the way Michael J. Fox and Dick Van Dyke did, and you know, have any faith in the concept at all, it would have gone 4 seasons.

When has one of these reboots worked?

An example that comes to mind is the "reboot as new show but with blatant fan service cameos" formula used by "The Big Bag Theory", "Young Sheldon", and "Georgie's First Marriage".

Scrubs could be done well in the same style. Of course, I also liked the last time they tried it.

Another example that worked - "Mission Impossible" - the first movie was a good movie but a bad adaptation of the original show, but the series has gone on to become a completely worthy extension of the original show.

And...well...That's two. So I night just be sharing the exceptions that prove the rule.

Futurama reboot(s) are good. Not quite up to original run but good.

Trailer park boys had a decent season or two with Netflix

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.

The Connors has been successful.

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

I could have done without all the flanderization.

I always just watched it when nothing else was on lol

A reboot, you say?

Well yeah he said half

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
