Remakes are pervasive in today's popular culture, whether they take
the form of reboots, "re-imaginings," or overly familiar sequels.
Television remakes have proven popular with producers and networks
interested in building on the nostalgic capital of past successes
(or giving a second chance to underused properties). Some TV
remakes have been critical and commercial hits, and others haven't
made it past the pilot stage; all have provided valuable material
ripe for academic analysis. In Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use,
Recycle, edited by Carlen Lavigne, contributors from a variety of
backgrounds offer multicultural, multidisciplinary perspectives on
remake themes in popular television series, from classic cult
favorites such as The Avengers (1961-69) and The X-Files
(1993-2002) to current hits like Doctor Who (2005-present) and The
Walking Dead (2010-present). Chapters examine what constitutes a
remake, and what series changes might tell us about changing
historical and cultural contexts-or about the medium of television
itself.
