Reboots

http://deadline.com/2018/05/brooklyn-nine-nine-saved-picked-by-nbc-1202389168/

Update Brooklyn Nine Nine has been rebooted by NBC. Note Brooklyn Nine Nine was cancelled by Fox.
NBC, whose sister studio Universal TV produces the Andy Samberg-starring series, was one of the potential suitors for the comedy after its cancellation. NBC also was among the broadcast networks that bid for the Brooklyn Nine-Nine pitch from creators Mike Schur and Dan Goor when it hit the marketplace in 2012 before the project landed at Fox in a very competitive situation.

“Ever since we sold this show to Fox I’ve regretted letting it get away, and it’s high time it came back to its rightful home,” said Robert Greenblatt, Chairman, NBC Entertainment. “Mike Schur, Dan Goor, and Andy Samberg grew up on NBC and we’re all thrilled that one of the smartest, funniest, and best cast comedies in a long time will take its place in our comedy line-up. I speak for everyone at NBC, here’s to the Nine-Nine!”


NBC
NBC’s pickup of Brooklyn Nine-Nine follows 32 hours of groundswell of support for the show on social media the magnitude of which we have rarely seen, with regular fans — joined by celebrity ones like Lin-Manuel Miranda, Guillermo del Toro, Seth Meyers and Mark Hamill — rallying behind it. Acknowledging the big role fans’ social media campaign played in the show’s resurrection, Brooklyn Nine-Nine‘s creators and stars announced the NBC pickup directly to them on Twitter. (you can see some of their posts below).

Created by the Parks and Recreation duo of Dan Goor and Michael Schur, who are former college roommates, Brooklyn Nine-Nine centers on Peralta, played by Saturday Night Live alum Samberg, a screwball who happens to be a real good cop. His captain in the NYPD’s 99th Precinct is Raymond Holt, a seen-it-all and emotion-challenged captain played by Andre Braugher, who scored three consecutive Emmy noms for Supporting Actor from 2014-2016. Terry Crews, Melissa Fumero, Joe Lo Truglio, Stephanie Beatriz, Chelsea Peretti, Joel McKinnon Miller and Dirk Blocker also star.

Brooklyn Nine-Nine, which was Fox’s highest-rated live-action comedy series this season among adults 18-49, is produced by Universal Television, Fremulon, Dr. Goor Productions and 3 Arts. Goor and Schur executive produce alongside David Miner and Luke Del Tredici. The show won two Golden Globes in its freshman season — for best comedy series and best actor in a comedy series (Samberg).

NBC is not the first broadcast network that has come to the rescue of a series produced by its sister studio. In a similar way, ABC and CBS picked up ABC Studios-produced Scrubs and CBS Studios-produced Medium, respectively, after their cancellations by NBC. Like them, Brooklyn Nine-Nine has off-network/SVOD deals that make prolonging their run good business for the parent company. For Fox, which didn’t own Brooklyn Nine-Nine, it was expensive, with a license fee said to be around $1.9 an episode.

NBC’s pickup of Brooklyn Nine-Nine brings the number of Schur series on the network to three — he also has The Good Place, which was renewed for a third season and the newly picked up comedy Abby’s.

Dynasty has been renewed for a season 2 on The CW.

All things being relative, the raw numbers on nearly everything on the CW look bad, but as in many cases, there's more to it. Also factor in that the CW is adding a night this fall, necessitating several additional series--whatever starts the season, and some additional bench options.

Kiefer Sutherland is on both, but playing different roles. Other than that, I don't see the similarities.

The characters are virtually identical (government agent gone amuck - Hannah Wells), insiders trying to overthrow (VP in the case of DS), foreign agents planting bombs all over the place, 'IT' people who can break into any network, including mundane things like traffic signals, at the drop of a hat, people who are 'killed' only to reappear episodes later.
 
The article suggests it’s not a done deal yet. Moreover, it wouldn’t be a reboot. It’s the same series continuing elsewhere. Similarly, Roseanne, Will & Grace, The X Files etc. aren’t reboots. Hawaii Five O, McGyver and SWAT are.
 
Just thinking out loud here. I'm not thinking of a reboot, but more like a where are they now kind of thing. In 2022 it will be 20 years since the finale of the popular MTV animated series Daria ended. I would like to see them do a movie about where are they now.

Hilarious would be if Daria had a kid who acted like her sister Quinn and if Quinn had a kid who acted like Daria.

a movie about 30 somethings Beavis & Butt-head would be interesting

Yes Rugrats is getting a reboot

Attention, “Rugrats” fans! The popular animated series about a crew of adventurous babies is coming back ― to both the big and small screens.

The show is being revived with a new 26-episode season and a live-action movie featuring CGI, Nickelodeon announced Monday.

“Rugrats is hands-down one of the most celebrated cartoons in TV history, and we are thrilled for a whole new audience to meet these iconic characters in brand-new adventures,” Sarah Levy, the chief operating officer of Viacom Media Networks and interim president of Nickelodeon, said in a statement.

The Daytime Emmy-winning show debuted in 1991 and ran for nine seasons over 13 years, reaching millions of viewers and inspiring three movies.

The new “Rugrats” projects will reportedly feature the classic characters ― including Tommy and Angelica Pickles, Chuckie Finster, and Phil and Lil DeVille ― as well as some new ones.

Needless to say, many nostalgic “Rugrats” fans were excited to hear the news.
