I mean, I still have fond memories of watching that show- a company making a reboot is not going to change that. Just because it's an update to (what I consider) a classic, doesn't mean my childhood is "ruined". I still have fond memories of the old series, so I don't think it's that huge of a deal- especially if a new generation can enjoy it.
If they changed an iconic-ish children's character into something awful, they indeed ruined our childhoods. Imagine if Pikachu turned green, fat and creepy, wouldn't that make you upset? This is the same thing.
Pikachu was way better when he was fat.
I second that.
In any case, it actually does not ruin our childhoods. We have fond memories with the original things, yeah. But, having a reboot does not change those memories. The studio doesn't suck up the fond memories of the original and replace them with the new show, right?
So how can it "ruin" our childhood/childhood memories, since those are something we each carry inside. We should instead be happy a new young generation can enjoy Bob the Builder, rather than letting the franchise die. It's like Transformers- though each series is different from the other, people love it or hate it, it doesn't ruin the series a fan liked as a kid.
