We’ll concede that the reboots of Doctor Who, 90210 and Degrassi are more popular than anyone could have guessed. But that doesn’t mean every semi-successful show should be given the same treatment, no matter how popular they are on video-on-demand services. (Looking at you, Charmed.) Some series are just fine the way they are, thank you very much. We’re already wary of Girl Meets World; we don’t need any more reboots of shows we hold dear.
The WB/The CW
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Sure, maybe witches are in again because of AHS Coven and The Vampire Diaries, but let’s not bring back Sabrina the Teenage Witch. There was a movie, a TV series, and an animated series. Sabrina needs a break.
My So-Called Life
Although My So-Called Life was axed a little prematurely, the show is so undeniably ’90s that bringing it back would be an affront to the decade. Besides, the whole show would consist of Angela Chase Facebook-stalking Jordan Catalano, not that we would blame her.
Dawson’s Creek
The love triangle of Dawson, Pacey, and Joey was a rollercoaster for anyone growing up in the ’90s. Now, however, it seems like there’s a love triangle everywhere you look thanks to Twilight. So let’s let this story rest.
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
The television show itself was a reboot from the 1992 film of the same name. You can’t reboot a reboot! That’s crazy talk! (We’re willing to give up Angel though.)
Friends
You can’t bring back Friends, unless it’s fifty years in the future for a cool mash up of Friends and The Golden Girls. Because we’d totally watch that show.
