Occasionally, a TV reboot actually improves upon the original show. A prime example is the 2004 revival of a 1978 science fiction series. Initially intended as a limited miniseries, it became a four-season hit, widely considered one of the greatest shows ever made – even by viewers who aren’t long-time fans. The show transformed from a relatively obscure sci-fi program into a mainstream success, much like Star Trek had done previously. Battlestar Galactica raised the bar for reboots, proving that they can be ambitious and exceptionally well-made.
