It’s obvious to you and I, to be sure. But I’m not so sure this is obvious to ABC. These are the same people who thought Castle would be *totes okay!* without Stana. I don’t even watch the show and even I knew that would blow up in their faces.
I’m guessing in this case the reboot idea was Adam and Eddy’s, rather than ABC’s. It sounds more like something they would try to pull. I’m not sure how on board ABC really is about this idea.
