Just look at the success of a lot of movies these days. A lot of them are part of a series such as the Marvel movies, deadpool, Fast and Furious, Misson Impossible and many others. While the movies in the series are not the exact same every time. It's easier for the studio directors/producers to follow on from a previous movie rather than create a completely new movie that doesn't follow on from an earlier movie in the series.

Love Island suffered the same fate but they brought it back anyway. Why do they keep rebooting reality shows that no one watched in the first place? What's next, Celebrity Wrestling?

It's been headline news, they were talking about some of the biggest viewing figures ITV 2 ever recorded, it was one of the most successful tv shows of all time. They said noone would have imagined these figures.

paleoperson wrote: » What do you mean "Exactly."? The whole point of this thread is why are they bringing them back "when noone watched them in the first place". Clearly people are watching Love Island now, so I guess they know something you don't? "Exactly".... like it's not that you try to explain the counterpoint, but you say "Exactly." as if that somehow reinforced your point. Please try to make some sense. I've seen people say "exactly" in similar positions before to good counterpoints against their argument and it's very obnoxious. You don't get to say "exactly" unless something is proving your point. That is not the case here in any possible way.

They had The Villa as well which was very like Love Island where they sent 4 girls and 4 guys with each having a match unbeknownst to them in there. One episode had 2 girls stripping a passed out fella ... that will go down well if it's shown again!
