What was it about the early 2000s/2010s that forced all these programs to end/shut down, that has now gone away in the 2020s? What changed? >_>

I Love Lucy already did every plot possible, and Hollywood has been out of ideas since.

Eh, not so much, but if you combine Lucy, Mash and Happy Days you're probably covered.

I think it's because a lot of millenials are now entering into those decision making positions and they just want to bring back the stuff that make them nolstalgic.

It's about the money. A show or channel with an already established fanbase has a higher chance of success than an entirely new idea.

remakes aren't anything new. a lot of the movies and shows we watched growing up were remakes or re-imaginings of older shows...its just that in our time there was a lot less to remake than there is now.

New fanbases don't necessarily follow reboots. It's more about having an established formula with name recognition. Sure, reboots try to court the established base, but it's hardly with betting on.

It's always hot. You just don't notice until you're old enough to have experienced the original.
