Yeah...don't remind me!
News The Return of 90s Television: Murphy Brown is coming back, too. What show will return next?
- Thread starter The Nth Doctor
- Start date
I didn't realize that the sequel novel to Clarissa Explains It All had finally come out, series creator Mitchell Kriegman's Things I Can't Explain, about Clarissa in her late twenties. I guess the television series will take place after that.
Murphy's son has been cast.

Nope. I'd say there was a chance until Tim Allen had a hissy fit over Last Man Standing being canceled. Unless the show isn't owned by ABC then there is a chance on another network but I think he would want to much money.
NBC has extended it's season two episode order for Will & Grace and has already ordered a third season.
I guess it's safe to say, NBC is very happy with what they're getting!

I think NBC will not really be happy with this. Next season renew, sure, but a third? The ratings aren't that great anymore.
I’m still watching every week and loving it just as much as I did during it’s first run.
Same here. It was a little rough out the gate, but that was to be expected. It's been great since Nick Offerman's appearance.
Hollywood is out of ideas, and 80s/90s/00s actors whose careers have run dry are eager to jump on board. It's a little pathetic.
Revivals are just Hollywood's version of a retirement village.

Well, if we enjoy them, what's the harm?Hollywood is out of ideas, and 80s/90s/00s actors whose careers have run dry are eager to jump on board. It's a little pathetic.

I'm expecting a Buffy revival any time now. Whedon isn't doing anything, girl power is dominating at the box office and on TV, and Buffy is a beloved franchise. Have it follow a new slayer (or maybe a group of slayers a la Sailor Moon) in high school while the original cast can serve as mentors or special guest stars. Now that Disney owns the rights to the Buffyverse they could make a new show to kickstart their streaming service.
Original ideas went extinct decades ago. Even if it isn't a flat out continuation (Roseanne, Murphy Brown, etc) or a reboot (Hawaii 5-0) they're still reusing basic ideas.
There's even very few movies that come close to anything original, and for all I know they're still based on a book I never heard of. The Men Who Stare At Goats was a really great movie IMO, but still came from a book.
I watched that movie twice and couldn't stand it either time. My mom stopped watching it, and my best friend and I watched it years later, none of us enjoyed it.
I rather Hawaii 5-0 was a continuation. You might as well do continuations over reboots.
"Murpjhy Brown" had a appropriate ending and didn't need to come back.
"Roseanne" had a wonderful ending and should not have come back.
Shows with no good ending or no ending period, should be likely candidates. Take "Newsradio" -- no ending, just a cliff hanger of sorts. Take "Firefly" -- no ending at all. "Nowhere Man" -- no ending. "SeaQuest" -- no ending (in fact, it was set up to continue a full season, with a new protagonist race; but season three was shit, so I'd ignore it all together!).
And so forth and so on.

Yeah, to each their own. I thought it was a way different use for Clooney, Bridges & Spacey and a well made, if strange movie.
Wikipedia says reboot but I've never watched it. Those terms seem to be interchangeable most of the time.
I do know they CGI'd Jack Lord into a modern episode. Not sure what that actually meant re: reboot vs continuation.
