Trying to think of what the best attempt at a comedy reboot would be:

I've not seen much of them, but I think the Red Dwarf reboot is generally quite well received by red dwarf fans - although not as beloved as the original series, and that has the whole sci-fi angle as well, which gives it a lot more opportunity to take it in new directions.

Arrested development was an incredible series, that didn't get anywhere near enough recognition, the reboot they did on netflix was kinda similar, just missing something. I loved the original series, I don't think I even watched the netflix one until the end.

I supose likely lads / whatever happened to the likely lads is probably a good example of a successful reboot - any others?
