Why in the world did Joan of Arcadia end?

Would a Joan of Arcadia reunion disappoint people?
Joan of Arcadia aired from 2003-2005 and is considered one of the most influential TV shows ever on pop culture. Although no original episodes have been shot since, it has remained a regular feature on many station's schedules. But Tamblyn said she's not sure if Joan of Arcadia would work today. “I don't want to see old Joan Girardi,” she told a journalist (Tamblyn turned 41 in May). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” she added.
Still hoping for a Joan of Arcadia movie?
In a recent interview, Joe Mantegna said he can't imagine a Joan of Arcadia reunion hitting the big screen. “I'd rather people go, ‘Oh, please! Please!’ than ‘I can't believe you did that. It was horrible.’”
Co-star Wentworth Miller (who played Ryan Hunter) has also previously explained, “It would be terrible to do something and have it not be good,”. “It was so terrific ... If we did a Joan of Arcadia movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”
On the subject of whether there could be a Joan of Arcadia film, Aaron Himelstein stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”
What about a Joan of Arcadia reboot?
Recasting Joan of Arcadia for a modern reboot. Hollywood is known for remaking remakes of films or tv series and the studios might think it would be great to bring the story back with a new set of characters.
Be it in the form of a Joan of Arcadia reunion, a Joan of Arcadia movie, or a Joan of Arcadia reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
