i'm looking forward to this as i am a huge fan of the original series. mr. whedon is genius and it should rock. anyone else in here a Buffy fan having trouble believing it's been 21 years since the old Buffy days?!! http://www.justjared.com/...ss-whedon/

I'll pass. Also passing on the reboots of Charmed and Roswell

Why reboots? Why can't he come up with something new?

not sure what is driving the "re-boot" phenomenon which appears to be sweeping movie production industry. i don't really like re-boots but i do like mr. whedon so i'm keeping an open mind for this project.

Whedon is more than capable of coming up with a fresh idea. My son was a huge Firefly fan and I loved the original Buffy.

Don't like the reboots such as the new Magnum PI. But I don't mind bringing back tv shows which starred the original cast such as X-Files and Roseann (those are not reboots but just the next season). Murphy Brown is coming back with most of the cast so that is not a reboot so I might check that out. But yeah Death to the Reboot

They certainly waited long enough to bring back Murphy Brown.

don't be shy, tell us how you really feel

I never watched the show so I guess I won't be tainted. I'd give it a chance.

Since you never watched it then maybe you can enjoy it with fresh new eyes. I could enjoy this show if this was a prequel or having the story just continue on after Buffy and the gang, kinda like how Star Trek did.

Is Roswell the one with Dakota Fanning? I remember watching some alien show years ago with Dakota Fanning in it and it scared the hell out of me.

No. Roswell ran for 3 seasons on the WB and UPN late 90's early 2000's. I liked the show.

EmmaMcG said:

If he was rebooting anything I'd rather it be Firefly. Maybe with Disney buying Fox and setting up their own streaming service, they might be tempted to revive the show. Hopefully.

Honestly I think most of the cast of Firely would like to do the show if it came back to TV.

Was that war of the worlds movie? They had a War of the Worlds tv show but that was in the late 80's.

No, before the War of the Worlds movie. She was in some TV series with aliens. I didn't watch much of it because it scared me. It was the late 90s, I think. [Edited 8/4/18 16:14pm]

You got me stumped. Looking at her IMDB profile and nothing seems to fit. Are you sure it was Dakota Fanning?

100%. I just googled it and found it. The show was called Taken. Produced by Spielberg in 2002. Which means I was 12 when it was on. I feel kind of stupid now, thinking back about not being brave enough to watch it. I seen the Exorcist when I was 7. It didn't bother me. But this show creeped me out 5 years later.

oh I saw that and I thought Taken was those Liam Neeson movies

I'll peek at it. But after I made tbat statement i thought about it and remembered that a lot of these shows will be geared toward this newer generation of youngins the 12, 13,14 year olds maybe younger so these shows may not hold much interest for me anyway. The PC morality has changed, the technology has changed. Even Facebook is old to this generation I don't think I'll know what they're talking about. [Edited 8/4/18 19:50pm]

I 100% disagree with that statement. They wanted the 18-35 years old market. Yes younger and older people watched it but no network is aiming for a prime time show for the 12-14-year-olds market.

Maybe but the 18 to 35 yo now weren't 18 to 35 when the original was out so I believe they are still gearing it towards the newer generation per wiki it's generation Z

Yes that is what I was talking about. You were talking about the original series right??

The interesting part about the original Buffy was that the appeal extended beyond their intended age group (I was certainly older than that lol).

i still don't understand why there are so many "reboots" of shows that were done well the first time around. is there no fresh material out there worthy of development?
