With retro-vertigo in full swing and everything old becoming new again, it's time to look at some of the best (and worst) TV show revivals.
With Roseanne circling back to ABC on March 27th, and the entire cast returning to the fold after almost 30 years, it seems as though networks are looking more to the past for potential modern-era hits. Will & Grace just found its way back to NBC after 11 years away, American Idol took a few years off before switching from FOX to ABC, and CBS has five-time Emmy winner Candice Bergen coming back for a new Murphy Brown series.
Keep in mind, we're looking at revivals here. So what's the difference between a revival and - say - a reboot? Well, a revival is the show coming back with all, or most, of the original cast intact (if not, in the very least, the lead roles). It's a years-later sequel featuring the actors you once loved playing the roles you loved them in. A reboot is, well, not that.
