We’re certainly at Peak Reboot, with this fall’s Magnum P.I., Charmed, and Murphy Brown reimaginings hitting the air, and talk of rebooting everything from Frasier and Mad About You to Alf and The Twilight Zone. Few will argue passionately in favor of another round of Alf, but perhaps our griping about reboots has also gotten out of hand.

In this episode, Pop Literacy talks to Charmed executive producers Jessica O’Toole and Amy Rardin about the pleasures of updating the inherently empowering witch-sisters drama at a time when women are flexing their power against some serious political threats.

We also rhapsodize about the nostalgic pleasures of the Will & Grace revival and tell you about the best reboot you’re not watching. Hint: The Karate Kid is involved.
