The Big Problem That Ruins Teen Show Reboots & Revivals 🤔 iCarly, Gossip Girl, Gilmore Girls & More

From Gossip Girl to iCarly to Gilmore Girls to Boy Meets World to (almost!) Lizzie McGuire and beyond, having our favorite characters from our tween and teen years come back as adults sounds like a great premise, but it often doesn't work out the way we'd hope

Okay I'm doing an ONTD doesn't watch because I just want to get on a soapbox to rant about the Gilmore Girls revival lol. it didn't work because ASP didn't watch/want to deal with season 7 because she didn't write it, so the revival was almost a do-over for her. but it doesn't make sense. Lorelai and Luke only NOW talking about having more kids when she's almost 50 (even though she said multiple times in the original show that she wanted more kids and so did Luke), them not being married, Logan engaged to a girl his family set him up even though season 7 Logan had so much character growth that he would never, and Rory sleeping with Logan even though he's engaged and she's dating someone (not that that's super out of character for her LOL, but it just doesn't ring true with where they left the story in season 7

the revival was SO FUCKING BAD

It's not just that she ignored season 7, it's that she acted like the revival WAS her s7 and brought us characters that had not progressed at ALL in 15 or whatever years. It was honestly depressing.
