It is the day and age of reboots, reunions, and revivals. While some prefer original versions over these new ones and vice versa, it is nice that we all have more options when it comes to television and films.
Since there are so many rebooted TV shows, we thought it would be fun to compare the newer casts with the older ones by looking at photos of the two. We will also provide information on when these series started, who they star, and where they can be seen. Whether someone is a fan of one, the other, both or neither, we hope everyone enjoys!
