TV reboot challenge: We ask millennials what a 'Magnum P.I.' is
Posted in: Uncategorized
Once again, TV networks are reviving old series for their new seasons, a strategy designed to capitalize on built-in fan bases of the originals.
The tactic has yielded some serious successes. NBC just renewed its revival of “Will and Grace” for two additional seasons after the sitcom debuted last fall to more than 10 million viewers. ABC’s reboot of “Roseanne” arrived in March to over 18 million viewers (not including delayed viewing) and will be a centerpiece of the alphabet network’s fall schedule.
This year’s crop of reboots include “Magnum P.I.” and “Murphy Brown” on CBS, as well as “Charmed” on The CW.
