Would a Practice reunion disappoint people?

The Practice aired from 1997-2004 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 McDermott said he's not sure if the Practice would work today. “I don't want to see old Bobby Donnell,” he told a journalist (McDermott turned 63 in October). “Everyone’s going to have different vision of what the character is like, so to have that materialize is going to disappoint most people,” he added.

Still hoping for a Practice movie?

In a recent interview, Lara Flynn Boyle (who played Helen Gamble between 1997 and 2003) said she can't imagine a Practice 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 Aunjanue Ellis (who played Sharon Young in 1999) 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 Practice movie and it sucked, then it would, you know, blemish it.”

On the subject of whether there could be a Practice film, Linda Hunt stated : “I think it's a bit of a case of ‘the book is better than the movie’.”

What about a Practice reboot?

Recasting the Practice 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 Practice reunion, a Practice movie, or a Practice reboot, if you had to start filming today, who would you cast in what role?
