The positives are, like it or loathe it, in 2026 they are still
making new episodes as part of those franchises...
Or we'd all be creating online petitions and demanding they
bring them back!!!
Personally I think the 'modernisation' of these types of show
will rebound on the producers, writers and studio executives and
they will eventually go back to what made those shows worth
watching in the first place. The fact that we get new episodes
though means there's always the odd diamond in the dust that we
can enjoy... even if they are few and far between.
