I guess there is another reason for this wave of reboots and remakes, not just creative stagnation. Instead, I think the advertisement indstry has switched from targeting (very) young people to older ones. The former don't watch TV anymore, and are lost to them. The latter are now the new target audience. ANd they (=we) are best targeted by providing us with more of the stuff we used to like. I really don't think it's a coincidence.
