The correct answer, if we are also including remakes (and we should be), is obviously “Battlestar Galactica.” The original series was kitschy, but the re-imagining was a deeply emotional exploration of what makes us human wrapped up in all the action and excitement of a space opera.
“Twin Peaks” is a square peg of round hole programming that is the exception to my “reboot haterade” hard and fast rules.
Lynch laced the new series with plenty of original classic characters, and he artfully paid homage to the ones that passed away. Appreciated in the newer rebooted spectacle was that Mr. The “best” exception for my aversion of both reboots and revivals goes to Showtime’s run of “Twin Peaks.” This captivating show is so non-linear, visually Dali-esque and absurdist in its storytelling, almost annoyingly so… but I loved it, There are very few people of David Lynch’s artistic caliber working in the medium, and even if you hated the series, you had to admire the evocative moods and flights of terror it delivered as well as the variety of the actors in his soap opera yarn. The real answer is that the best reboot or revival is NBC’s “Coach” because they announced it, attempted to develop it and realized it wasn’t necessary and so they just moved on. “ Twin Peaks” is definitely a revival and its Showtime season was mind-bending enough that I was very grateful it existed, even if I don’t need any more “Twin Peaks” at least for another 20 years. I’m not going to say people who choose “The Comeback” or something are wrong, but that just wasn’t a show I loved in either incarnation. Can a spinoff be a reboot if it’s like “Better Call Saul”? I guess it’s just a prequel spinoff and that’s not the same thing.

We were told that “Fargo” didn’t count as an overall series because it’s based on a movie and that’s fine, but is each individual season, given the shared DNA between the seasons, a reboot? I could make that argument and I love “Fargo,” so I kinda want to. I wasn’t going to answer “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” because the last season was a huge disappointment. Does “Curb Your Enthusiasm” count or was that just a long hiatus for a show that was never really dead? It doesn’t matter. I wasn’t going to answer with “Doctor Who” anyway. But does a show going to a different network count as a revival? So is post-UPN “Buffy” a revival? Are seasons 3-5 of “Friday Night Lights” a half-a-revival? Does it count as a reboot or revival when the structure is built around rebooting or reviving? Like does “Doctor Who” count? And does every Doctor count as a reboot or just the post-Eccelston reboot? It doesn’t matter. A remake is not a reboot or a revival, so anybody saying “Battlestar Galactica” is wrong. The question is hinged around “Roseanne,” which is a revival. (Plus, it’s such a delight to get Jonathan Van Ness on screen for more than five minutes of “Gay of Thrones.”) Daniel Fienberg The Hollywood Reporter I was a fan of the original, and the new version scratches all the same itches in an updated way.
Nice people trying to improve the lives of others, from home to hearth to heart? It had a major impact on me, and I found myself carefully doling out each episode over the next six weeks, watching episodes only on the toughest days, when I needed the Fab Five most. About life, about people, about the world. Wow, I started paging through Mike Schneider’s gallery of remakes and reboots (see above), and the pickings seemed pretty slim! That said, there were a few things I had more than fond feelings toward - specifically, the new Netflix iteration of “Queer Eye.” When we first received screeners for the show, back in late December, I watched the first episode and just felt… better.
