Does anyone remember that TV show Reboot about the games characters living in a PC? And someone would play a game of Mad Dog McCree or something and if they died in the game they died in real life, but it was ok because the owner of the PC only played one game once a wekk and when they died once they just turned the game off?

Should that show get a Reboot? Video games have changed a lot since then, so instead of mad DocMcree Ezio and Dot and the rad as poo poo 90's kid would have to play some never endings MMO where they grind for pigs trotters for hours on end as the gamer orders dominos via an app.

Maybe they could be in Farmville?

The possibilities are endless.

I feel like the show could be redone to good effect. There's some weird anime already out that takes takes place in an MMO and found success in doing so. Reboot could only be an improvement on the narrative. thanks for the nostalgia Op.

Would the Reboot reboot use cheezy graphics to indicate that it takes place inside a computer, or cutting edge graphics because that's what the original show would have used if it could?

sure, but do it like TNG did and have new characters, a new setting, with some of the old characters giving the new ones their blessing. Bringing the old characters back for anything more then cameos would cause the show to bomb. the voice actors are either dead or too old now

and get rid of the whole games destroy sectors plot. Enough people are computer savvy enough to know thats bullshit

the show got pretty weird in the last season and ended with a musical number that summed it all up

Be brave.



According to the Wikipedia page it is getting both a new tv series and at least one movie, but details from the last couple years are pretty slim.

The show was a lot of fun but I torrented it about a year ago and it doesn't really hold up.

that wasnt the last season. they made a truncated season 4 in 2001 that ended with Megabyte returning. Then they made the webcomic which may or may not be canon

Then nothing for a few years. then Tony jay passed away so no more Megabyte. now its 15 years since season 4 so if they bring it back now they need new characters.

honestly the idea (tv show about anthromophized... things living inside computers) is still a good one and even more relevant today than it was in the 90s really, there's all sorts of crazy stuff you could do
