Remaking classic TV shows is the trend nowadays, and we're not complaining. Our friends at Common Sense Media [1] have rounded up the most appropriate options for families.

Everything old is new again; at least, that's what the current onslaught of reboots would have us believe. From Fuller House [2] to new versions of Teletubbies [3], Duck Tales [4], Inspector Gadget [5], and more, reboots rule the screen. Here are a handful of shows we think it'd be fun to see in fresh incarnations. Some just didn't get enough time on air, while others ran for ages but were so good we demand more, and some dated ideas could be revived by a contemporary spin. So start your imaginations: Who would play Jo and Blair in your The Facts of Life [6] reboot?
