The new Will and Grace is a reboot to me. The new Party of Five isn't. And it's disappointing. I was wondering around which Salinger's death the remaining Salingers (plus one) would be gathering in the reboot. But I didn't need to wonder. They're presenting a show that has apparently nothing to do with the Salingers. I'm with Roselvr.
I hope they don't do The Jetsons without the Jetsons, The Munsters without the Munsters, or Starsky and Hutch without Starsky and Hutch.
Agree Jay, Will and Grace, Fuller House. Shows using the same cast are what I'd assume a reboot is not using an old shows name to make a totally new show. Crazy. Just rename the new show. I'll stick to reality TV. At least I know what I'm getting.
You can certainly disagree but per the below, this fits the definition perfectly:
to produce a distinctly new version of (an established media franchise, as a film, TV show, video game, or comic book):
The studio is rebooting Spider-Man.
I'm not a Spider Man fan. Was there a version that eliminated Peter Parker as Spider Man?

I don't even mind a new cast, really. But all new characters equal an all new show.

The Spiderman part was their example of the definition., not mine.
Like I said, you can disagree. Call it a "reimagining" if you want. The show will still be five siblings navigating life without their parent.
It was one of my favorite shows at that time, probably because I was their exact target demographic (teenage female, white, actually from SF). But can't we leave well enough alone? Plus I agree with the others - it's not really a "reboot" with a new cast of characters. That's more like a remake, imo.
P.S. Does anyone remember the awful spin-off with JLH, called "Time of Your Life?" I watched it, of course, just because I was such a Po5 fan... but I recently streamed an episode out of curiosity, and realized just how bad it was.
