   Why A Buffy The Vampire Slayer Reboot Should NEVER Happen   
      
   In every generation...   
      
   Coming back from the dead is kinda Buffy's thing.   
      
   When The Master bit her and left her to drown, she was resuscitated by   
   Xander. When she jumped to her death to close the portals between worlds,   
   she was brought back by Willow. When the show was ended after seven seasons,   
   it was eventually rebooted by Fox.   
      
   Wait, what was the last one?   
      
   Ok, so a reboot of Buffy the Vampire Slayer hasn't happened yet, but it is   
   being talked about. Fox's TV Group Chair, Gary Newman, recently spoke about   
   the potential of bringing the show back (via Variety):   
      
   “I think if you look in our library, ‘Buffy’ is probably the most ripe   
   show   
   we have for bringing back. It’s something we talk about frequently, and Joss   
   Whedon is really one of the greatest creators we ever worked with. When Joss   
   decides it’s time, we’ll do it. And until Joss decides it’s time, it   
   won’t   
   happen.”

   Buffy recently turned 21, meaning it's now old enough to head off to the   
   Bronze and drink all the Black Frost in sight. And yet despite the years,   
   the series' appeal has never worn off. Sure, not all of the effects are   
   great, but it remains engaging, entertaining, hilarious, and smart   
   television that plays well to both new audiences and those after a nostalgic   
   re-watch.   
      
   Part of its success - and why a reboot might not work - is that the show is   
   extremely rooted in the 1990s, from its references to its fashion-sense.   
   That's a massive part of its charm, and while a new series could update the   
   setting, something would be lost in the translation. At the same time,   
   though, the show was ahead of its time as much as it was of it, which   
   renders a new version is pointless.   
      
       [snip]   
      
   There are other shows that can be made about teenagers and demons, but they   
   don't need to bear the Buffy name. The show saved the world. A lot. Now Fox   
   needs to be prepared to let it rest in peace.
