It seems almost silly to include "Outlander" on this list because most fans of the series have likely had the Season 3 return date marked on their calendars for months after a lengthy separation from their beloved show. Speaking of separations, the new season finds Jamie and Claire in the ultimate long distance situation, with Claire in the modern world of 1940s Boston and Jamie back in the 18th century piecing his life back together after the Battle of Culloden.

Will this reboot live long and prosper? That's to be determined. But if the buzz around this project is any indication, there are a lot of people hoping it will -- not the least of which is CBS, which is making the show one of the centerpieces of its CBS: All Access streaming service. The show will premiere on the broadcast network and then release subsequent episodes on the service.

This single-cam "The Big Bang Theory" spinoff centers on the younger version of Jim Parsons' Sheldon Cooper, played by standout Iain Armitage. This show, which seems to draw its DNA from the likes of "The Wonder Years," is not filmed in front of an audience and leans more heavily into the emotional aspects of the story than its predecessor. A theory: This was likely done in an effort to make "Young Sheldon" stand apart from its mothership, and it was a smart move.

Producers, however, have left behind other aspects of the legacy -- they have a more diverse cast, for instance -- in order to bring this iconic tale into the modern era.
