'Tis a season for reboots: after "The X-Files," "Gilmore Girls," and "Twin Peaks" were announced to have their return schedules set for next year, it's about time an animated show is included in the mix. This time, it's in the form of "Samurai Jack," the warrior who woke up to find himself displaced in time.

Entertainment Weekly noted that the original show aired on Cartoon Network in 2001 -- 2004, lasting four seasons. Despite its quick run, it gained a lot of fans, thanks to its concept and creators of the animation style. Genndy Tartakovsky, who created the original series, is once again going to direct the reiteration. Adult Swim said that the new show is now in production at the Cartoon Network Studios in Los Angeles, however, the move from the loved channel to Adult Swim indicates that this may not be too child-friendly anymore, as it could be darker and more violent than the original storyline.

Nevertheless, "Samurai Jack" fans are still excited to see a new version of a childhood favorite, and if that's not enough reason tune in the reboot, here are 3 big reasons from Movie Pilot why you should be excited to see Jack all the same:

1. Genndy Tartakovsky is still involved in the show. He's one of the original creators, and he's got a pretty good track record: "Dexter's Laboratory" and "Powerpuff Girls" are among his projects, and if you want to see him do a 3D animated film -- he's already done so, as he also worked on "Hotel Transylvania 2."
2. It's been so long since the release of the final episode, so many will call next year's new ones as part of a reboot, but it's not really. Genndy spoke with Comic Book in September, and he said about Samurai Jack, " I feel like it's time to maybe finish the story. We've been trying to get the feature off the ground but maybe that's just fate's way of saying this is a television thing and maybe it should be a mini-series or something like that."
3. The move to Adult Swim might mean Jack, like his fans, grew up as well. While "Samurai Jack" was loved by children, he had a lot of adult fans as well. However, having the show on Cartoon Network will limit the show a lot to keep it in the General Viewing rating. On Adult Swim, the show can be more mature -- and it doesn't necessarily have to be bloody, gory, or sexual, either.
