12 TV Reboots That Actually Worked

Not only are we experiencing a golden era of television with juicy miniseries and awesome fan-favorites, but we are also living during a gold rush of television reboots and revivals. The popular trend of TV reboots has allowed us to revisit some of the most beloved characters from shows like Full House and The Conners - and their returns have equaled ratings gold.

But rebooting our favorite television properties isn't always a surefire bet. The CBS attempt to bring back Murphy Brown in 2018 landed flat on its face and was immediately canned (and forgotten) after just 13 episodes. The Jay Hernadez-led Magnum P.I. revival stopped solving crimes after just two seasons. And, not to mention, the new family in Freeform's Party of Five reboot couldn't make it work, so the network canceled the series after just ten episodes.

However, these few failures haven't stopped networks from seeing what other stories they could bring back to life, as here are a slew of shows set to return to the small screen sometime in the near future. Everything from Fixer Upper and Frasier, to Bewitched, Punky Brewster, WonderThe Wonder Years, Years, and even The Jetsons is expected to make a comeback. But until the time comes to revisit those TV favorites, let's dive into the best TV reboots we've gotten so far.
