Summary Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use, Recycle, edited by Carlen Lavigne, examines multiple definitions of television remakes, from reboots (like Charlie's Angels) to adaptations (The Walking Dead) and sequels (Doctor Who). It addresses cross-cultural issues while also interrogating the changing contexts and challenges posed by generational and media format shifts
