People all long for the shows from their childhood. Shows like \u201cFull House\u201d, \u201cGilmore Girls\u201d, \u201cWizards of Waverly Place\u201d, \u201cThat\u2019s So Raven\u201d and \u201cCHiPs\u201d are just a few of the shows from over five years ago with released or upcoming reboots.<\/p>\n
\"\"Reunion and revivals have aren\u2019t a new concept in the realm of TV, but are always risky with the ever-burning question, \u201cWill this get views?\u201d echoing in producers\u2019 minds. Now that the internet has given voices to people that clamor for reunions and revival, producers can test the waters with news about former cast members getting together for a reunion, or something new.<\/p>\n
Netflix has entered the realm of reboots with its revivals of \u201cFull House\u201d and \u201cGilmore Girls.\u201d Both were met with mixed reviews from critics but positive feedback from viewers watching for nostalgia. With the viewer\u2019s input, these shows are seeing some form of longevity in potential for renewed seasons.<\/p>\n
After Netflix\u2019s success, Disney\u2019s notice of fan demanded revivals was something they didn\u2019t ignore. Originally giving \u201cBoy Meets World\u201d it\u2019s revival in \u201cGirl Meets World\u201d, now seeing to the reunion, confirmed by Selena Gomez, of \u201cWizards of Waverly Place\u201d and confirmation by Raven Symone that a \u201cThat So Raven\u201d revival is in the works with Disney. Fans of both shows are eagerly awaiting the revival and reunion of these shows.<\/p>\n
Movies aren\u2019t excluded from TV revivals. Though movies only provide a one time story for old TV shows, they could help spark potential interest in audience\u2019s reactions on bringing them back for a sequel, much like the fame of \u201c21 Jump Street\u201d and the sequel \u201c22 Jump Street\u201d.<\/p>\n
The newest TV revival movie comes in the form of \u201cCHiPs,\u201d a 1970 TV show about California highway patrol officers. The new movie will have Oregon\u2019s own Dax Shepard in the director\u2019s chair.<\/p>\n
Revival TV has become a trend within the past decade and could bring more old shows to a younger audience who might not have heard about them. With Netflix and Disney taking interest in the revival movement, more companies might take the same route in bringing back shows from their network history. With any luck, some fan favorite shows from childhood might come back to TV one more time.<\/p>\n
