I felt about that for thr Flash (2014) when I used to watch the Flash (1990) Well that's kind of a special case since it'd very difficult for then to continue that show when all the actors have aged so much. Not to mention that 2014 Flash has actually done a pretty good job at acknowledging and respecting that show by having the veteran actors appear in this version of the show. They even had that scene in the pilot with John Wesley Shipp and Grant Gustin which was meant to represent the older Flash passing on the torch to the younger Flash.

What I was talking about with reboots is when one show ends up in development hell and instead of trying to fix that one, they completely scrap it and recast everyone without even offering to let old cast members return. Most of CN's atrocious reboots fall under this category.
