A television revival is an attempt to revive a defunct series by producing new episodes created for broadcast. Network executives may decide to attempt to revive a television program when they feel that a market once again exists for it. Revival is one of several programming strategies television networks employ to capitalize further on successful programs; among the other methods are spin-offs, cast reunions, and television movies based on the original program. Unlike spin-offs—in which a television network creates a new program around one or more familiar, popular characters from a different program—a revival involves the reintroduction of most, or at least many of the original program's storyline, characters, and locales. Revivals should also be differentiated from remakes and continuity reboots where the characters and/or central concepts are retained, but the story starts over from the beginning again. Revivals differ in that they pick up either from where the older show left off, or at some time after that point. ==Successes== Some examples of successful revivals in the United States are: ''Dragnet'', ''Star Trek: The Next Generation'', ''Perry Mason'', '' Arrested Development'', ''Beavis and Butt-head'', ''American Dad!'', ''Columbo'', ''Ed, Edd n Eddy'', ''The Fairly OddParents'', ''Futurama'', ''Family Guy'', ''Battlestar Galactica'', ''Doug'', ''SpongeBob SquarePants'', ''Degrassi: The Next Generation'', ''The Shapies'' and ''Invader Zim''. Most of these were revived at least several years after the original broadcast, often with a different cast. An example of a successful revival outside of the US is the 2005 British science fiction series ''Doctor Who''. Other examples of successful revivals outside the United States are the Mexican comedy series ''Operacion Ja Ja'' and ''Que Nos Pasa.'' 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Revival (television)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
