Reboots ain't nothing new. They rebooted Beau Geste like fifty times.

Fine
I don't mind a new actor and new creative vision and putting him back in high school but I'll be damned if I'm gonna sit through the fucking origin story for the hundredth time.

They're all just really awful shows.

Devo 2.0, Disney, etc.

If you want a REAL creepy middle-aged-guy sings about getting laid 20 years ago song, I'd check out "Oh What A Night."
