TV reboots: Is Hollywood just out of ideas?

Holly Marie Combs (from left), Alyssa Milano and Rose McGowan aren't charmed by the idea of rebooting their former show.

 Has nothing been learned from "Ironside?"
The recent NBC reboot of the classic crime drama featuring Blair Underwood in the role made famous by Raymond Burr in the late 1960s and early 1970s was one of the first of the fall television shows canceled. But don't think that will stem the tide of reboots yet to come.
Get ready for new versions of "Remington Steele," "Charmed," "Boy Meets World" (which will be updated to "Girl Meets World"), "Love, American Style," "Lifestyles of the Rich and the Famous." And some of the former cast members of "Falcon Crest" have been sayingthey've been approached about a possible reboot of the nighttime soap.
So everyone should be excited that these popular shows will be getting new life, right?
Wrong.
Rose McGowan, one of the stars of the original "Charmed," tweeted "they really are running out of ideas in Hollywood" while her former co-star Alyssa Milano tweeted "the thing about them doing a #charmed reboot is ... it just ... it feels like yesterday. It feels too close."
