{"product_id":"9780739183342","title":"Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use, Recycle","description":"Remakes are pervasive in today’s popular culture, whether they take the form of reboots, “re-imaginings,” or overly familiar sequels. Television remakes have proven popular with producers and networks interested in building on the nostalgic capital of past successes (or giving a second chance to underused properties). Some TV remakes have been critical and commercial hits, and others haven’t made it past the pilot stage; all have provided valuable material ripe for academic analysis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIn Remake Television: Reboot, Re-use, Recycle, edited by Carlen Lavigne, contributors from a variety of backgrounds offer multicultural, multidisciplinary perspectives on remake themes in popular television series, from classic cult favorites such as The Avengers (1961–69) and The X-Files (1993–2002) to current hits like Doctor Who (2005–present) and The Walking Dead (2010–present). Chapters examine what constitutes a remake, and what series changes might tell us about changing historical and cultural contexts—or about the medium of television itself. \u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Lexington Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47067819147504,"sku":"9780739183342","price":44.5,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/9780739183342_p0.jpg?v=1769916890","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780739183342","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
