Arrested Development and Firefly. Fox has a knack for cancelling good shows.
i think In Living Color, should be given another go. besides that hmmm maybe Small Wonder?
If it prevents the Wayans brothers from making any more movies for even a little while I'm all for it.
Well that and the Fly Girls.
Amen to that. Last thing we need is them spawning off a Little Man sequel.Quote:

I agree with the Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles call and I also cast a vote for Dollhouse.
Yeah, Terminator should be brought back.
Firely, Veronica Mars, Deadwood, Dollhouse..
If anyone of these shows return, will be perfect, but is hope so small. =/
fuckin' FOX. burn in hell!1
Ed Sullivan.
Kolckak: The Night Stalker
Predicated upon the resurrection of Darren McGavin
Another one I would like to see again is Wonder-Showzen. Oh Chauncey! I miss you!
I have to agree with Deadwood and Firefly... really enjoyed both those series :)

Superstar USA was hilarious IMO. It was a parody of American Idol. They were really just looking for the worst singer.
btw, if anyone has the one season it was on please pm me.
edit: Wonder Showzen was pretty awesome too.
Besides the fact that in Hollywood ,when there is money to be made , nothing is impossible you never 1.actually saw Micheal die 2. even if he did there is a good expanse of time between the end of the events of the final season and the date on his tombstone so they could fill that part in 3. if nothing makes sense and all else fails there is always the prequel.Quote:

And it was BJ and the Bear.:unsure:
I think I'd be disappointed if any of my favorite shows was to be reanimated.
Both Cracker* and Prime Suspect tried to do it and although they weren't terrible, neither was up to the level of the originals.
Great shows capture magic in a bottle and trying to recreate that is well nigh impossible...better to look back fondly than risk the almost inevitable disappointment.
Part of the problem is that truly innovative work is not self aware...the folks of Firefly might have thought they were doing good work (and I think they were) but they weren't operating under the pressure of being a cult favorite, so they had no one to please but themselves.
This fondness for looking backwards is what gives us such execrable crap as the new A-Team movie and the upcoming Yogi Bear film and it simultaneously throttles new thinking...why come up with a new idea when it's so easy to mine the past?
Look at shows that managed to survive- SNL and The Simpsons- both arguably great in their heyday, both now long past their prime.
Just like Brett Favre, they keep coming back- even when no one particularly cares.
I fondly remember when I was a South Park fanatic but haven't seen a new episode in probably five years...times changed, I changed and even though I think it was groundbreaking TV, it just doesn't interest me anymore.
Is that how I want to remember Firefly or Arrested Development?
No.
*Not talking about the gawdawful American version that stank up the place for a few episodes...
Both, then. And make sure they rehire that "Meathead" guy. He probably needs the work these days...
Maybe BJ to you, but those of us who knew him well, called him, "Buddy". :dry:
While I'm thinkin' about it, somebody should give Laverne and that little Cunningham kid work too...
They did and the result was Far and Away and Riding in Cars with Boys.:(Quote:

I think that Andy Griffith might play a good lawyer, too.
You're total lack of insight is refreshing.Quote:

I am reasonably sure I don't want to know what the "sides" part of that refers to. :no:
It's really Ironside but I hate to think of him as having been lop-sided .Quote:

Yeah, that talkin' horse- still gets me...
I think you would have a reality show hit with the "Golden Shower Girls" as long as you brought in Mr. Ed from time to time...
I especially liked the little mouse that said "Willlberrr...."Quote:
