And it is not a must to start off with the origin. The reboot established Ben's character and Gwen's in the first episode, and shows Ben is reckless and headstrong. They can retell the origin story in a different episode, because most old fans are aware of it at this point and it's better to start off on a strong foot rather than having to chug along with the boring origin story. What about the generatrion who didn't see the orignal show?

http://zak-storm.wikia.com/wiki/Zak_Storm:_Super_Pirate Did you not read the entire paragraph where I talked about the origin story, and said they can retell it later on? TV shows don't have a universal formula, and many shows prove that. An example would be Teen Titans, where its origin story appears in the final season. They still manage to establish every character's personality in the first season, and expand on it further in later seasons.
