I once asked what media franchises need to just stop, that have run their time. Now I want to know which ones DID stop, and could be restarted with new content.

I was more referring to the Tommy Westphall Universe theory where nearly all American TV shows exist in the same universe within the mind of the St. Elsewhere character Tommy Westphall.
In case you weren’t aware of this phenomenon:

I’ve never actually seen St. Elsewhere lol
Oh okay, yeah I remember my parents watching it when I was a kid, I had to look up that character I didn’t really know it was a trope. That makes sense for those 80s shows they were certainly all in another world lol.
Oh it’s not just 80s shows, it’s like every show. Including The Wire.
It’s actually a pretty entertaining thing to read about.
