Vote up the shows from the '00s that you're the most excited to see return to television
It can be rough to realize, it but the 2000s were multiple decades ago. Even if your favorite shows from the turn of the millennia are as fresh in your memory as if they aired last season, the best and most popular shows of the '00s are old enough for a reboot. And soon we'll see quite a few reboots of 2000s television shows. Some '00s TV reboots are coming back to a whole new channel, thanks to all the shakups between networks and streamers in the past few years. Wherever they premiere, the '00s reality shows, animated series, and dramas we're excited to have back come with a built-in audience of folks who can't wait for their favorites to return, even if it doesn’t feel like they’ve been gone that long.
Some 2000s show revivals are keeping original cast members in the cast, like Criminal Minds or The Garcias. Others may have a few familiar faces but are passing the torch to the next generation, such as Party Down and The Fairly OddParents. A few shows are fully reimagining the original, from the gender-swapped version of Drop Dead Diva to an animated version of Everybody Loves Chris.
Whether they're updating the story for the modern world or staying on the well-worn path of the original show, the best '00s TV reboots will be on screens, big and small, soon.
