This volume will appeal to media scholars, as well as to those looking for material to generate discussion in the undergraduate classroom. Remaking Television convincingly makes the case that the television remake has been under-theorized and under-appreciated. * Literatur in Wissenschaft und Unterricht * In a moment in which remake and reboot have been reduced to synergistic buzzwords, Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use, Recycle offers a more expansive and historically rich understanding of these terms. By considering how television remakes itself through adaptations, in media res reboots, and fan discourse, this collection offers a dynamic and detailed consideration of television's capacity to respond and adapt to culture. -- Suzanne Scott, Arizona State University Remake Television is an engaging collection of essays inhabited by spies, chefs, time-travellers, detectives, angels, and beasts. The various chapters use popular television programs to examine complicated concepts like fidelity, nostalgia, and shared memory and often provide illuminating insights into the process of retelling and retooling familiar stories to fit changing times. This book should be on the shelf of anyone interested in television, culture, and media studies. -- Daniel Downes, University of New Brunswick at Saint John
