Virtually every reboot of long-departed show has simply tried to recapture magic of original, and that fails every time. Only possible way to do this well is to interrogate what show was and how time has changed that, and how time has changed characters and their relationships to each other.
And only revival show that has even attempted to do that, that me aware of, is season three of Star Trek Picard, which me was dreading as cloying fan service and ended up pleasantly surprising me. (Not that it not have fair amount of nostalgia, but it was far more interested in how these characters and their relationship to Jean-Luc Picard has changed, which made whole... wait for it... enterprise worthwhile.)
I have several issues with this show, most of them pointed out in this review, but despite it all I’m just glad Scudworth still hits. not enough of him as mentioned, but man he’s the one element they recaptured perfectly.
I thought the rest of the material was fine, but even if it was flat out bad I’d still keep coming back for him.
When Bloody Mary joined the sleepover, I laughed and laughed and laughed. I hope you're right about her just popping up randomly throughout the show, I'd love that.
Silly question given how short the original run is; but, if you haven't seen the original Clone High can/should you start with the rebootquel series or is it too early to tell. Doctor Who (2005-Present) is a great example of creating a clean entry point for newbies while also rewarding long-time viewers.

Wait, they cancelled Venture Bros while rebooting *this*?
