Oz, The Wire & How To Make It In America (took 39 posts before that was mentioned smh!)
What cancelled/ Completed TV Shows should be brought back?
- Thread starter Randall Flagg
- Start date
-
In the latest episode of the United Hour Podcast, Nik (@Rood) and Imran (@Annihilate Now!) are here to discuss three 1-1 draws.
The first got us knocked out of the FA Cup, the next puts us in a good position in our Round of 16 Europa League game, and the latest was an actual decent performance against Arsenal at Old Trafford.
All hopes for the season now rest on the Europa League - does Amorim have the squad to win it?
It is mind blowing that after just one season these shows were cancelled and yet we have some shocking shows renewed season after season, in particular these grotesque "reality" shows.
Saved by the Bell.
It's time.
It's time.
Arrested Development
MacGyver
MacGyver
Brookside.
Freaks of Geeks would work even more now which is why it's far more popular now that it was say 5 years ago....and especially when it was actually. Judd Apatow comedy is the in thing, throw in that with 80's culture and you got it all.
Brave to say that on here, but I did think that program deserved more than one season.
I'd love to see Prime Suspect come back but then it was finished brilliantly and never got to the point where it produced a bad episode, so I don't think they could have carried on or could bring it back feasibly.
It was terrible.
Firefly
The OC
Camelot
*Community
I can't believe some people want more entourage. It should have ended after season 6.
*pending inevitable cancellation.

It would have to be set in a high school 10/15 years ago, otherwise I'm not sure it would make sense or be relevant... and obviously would require a whole new cast, which would surely effect the charm and quality of the show.
Also, are the youth (yoof) of today as disillusioned as they were 10 years ago?!
Empire Road
Mind Your Language
Mind Your Language
Hippies
Heroes. WIth different writers. It had so much potential in the beginning and they turned it to shit 
Oh, and with vampires becoming increasingly popular right now, buffy/angel. Dont know how it would work, mind.
The Unit.I loved that show
I'd have both shows coming together for a final season as one, and get all the characters on it (well the ones who are still alive!).
Buffy completely rids the world of vampires, demons and evil. She lives her life as a normal woman with Angel who has been made human (yes I'm a Buffy/Angel shipper).
I love a happy ending
Terriers.
How on earth could that show get cancelled after one year?

Loved the first two seasons. The third was a train wreck. It's like the writers were trying to get the show cancelled.
Space: Above and Beyond - This was a stupid show at it's core (a few episodes where vague allegory of the Pacific section of WWI even though it made no fecking sense) but I loved it, It's probably the closest I'll ever get to a Mechwarrior live action TV show.
Battlestar Galatica (2004) - Best Sci Fi show of all time, imo.
LOST - I whine(d) about it a lot but I miss it, even at it's worst it's still better than 90% of the TV today.
The Wire - Epic show, good ending but still want to find out what happens next damn it.
and True Calling (just because I enjoy watching Eliza Duskhu running around the place)

Two slightly less obvious ones,
The Event - Just so I can see how it ends.
Better off Ted - Not sure why they cancelled this.

Highlander. Recast.
Imo, best fantasy/sci fi show ever. They staged over a hundred swordfights and they were all good. And Highlander won them all!

How to make it in America
In that show, there were two of them right?
Outsourced
Entourage?!
Are you fecking kidding me? They shouldn't even have given the go ahead for the last season. It has become stupid and monotonous.

Bring back the Romans.
Bring back the Romans.
What have the Romans ever done for us?
The whole 'Vince the druggy' thing was shite and pretty much that whole season was just not what the show was supposed to be at all. The final season was better without being as good as the earlier ones, I agree, but the post credits scene on the last ever episode set up what could be an interesting turn.
It's almost certainly just with a movie in mind, but I reckon they could do more if they concentrated on Ari more. And perhaps killed Eric off just for a laugh.
They should do another Dead Set... or something similar at least.
I still think that Flashforward should have got a second series for no other reason that the finale left me wanting to know what happened next.
Prime Suspect, while not really much to do with the original, was an excellent police procedural that was beginning to hit it's straps when they canned it. And canceling Awake was ludicrous. It was very well acted in the main and very interesting.

Winner. Was the funniest show on TV, I thought. Ted Danson was brilliant.
Cancelled:

Bring back the Romans.
Definitely agree, there should be about 100 seasons worth of material from the Roman Empire, they had an awful lot of political conspiracies in their time.
Deadwood should be extended, at least follow Al Swearengen to San Francisco or any of a dozen fascinating places in the old west.
Quantum Leap is worth a shot though I worry I'll hate the people they choose to replace Sam and Al.
Life on Mars/Ashes to Ashes
The Twilight Zone
Steven Spielberg's Amazing Stories
They also should probably try to make another Star Trek tv show, they've been terrible since the first two, but there's too much money there to keep it dead forever. I suggest making them cheesy, thinly-veiled morality tales with a new alien every week.
Terrible since the first two? Mental. DS9 was great, Voyager also had it's moments.
Also, they need to bring back Carnivale.
Firefly - Even talking about this being canceled makes me angry.
Arrested Development - Hilarity
Chicago Code - One of the best drama's to be canceled
Pushing Daisies - Brilliant and quirky
Dead Like Me - see above
Lie to Me (if the ignored s03 and did it properly).
Boston Legal - Was still brilliant when they canceled it.
The West Wing - A new one would be brilliant.
Veronica Mars - Because Kristen Bell is smoking hot.
Wire in the Blood - Best ITV Drama for years.

They are bringing this back.
I heard they were considering a movie.
They bringing it back as a series or a movie?
Edit: Also I'd bring back BSG so I could change the fecking shitty godawful ending that made me facepalm so hard.
