Which TV Show Should Get a <i>Futurama</i>-Style Rebirth?  

The triumphant (Well, I liked it) return of Futurama this week shows the value of giving shows another chance – As well as rubbing in just how many series have been canceled while they still had so much more to give. So here’s an obvious question for you all: Which canceled show deserves a second chance?

As ever, feel free to explain your choices in the comments section below…

    No one mentioned Threshold. That was a GREAT show and had so much more to offer.

  • JesusChristPose

    Arrested Development, Clone High and Firefly.

  • Y_bareket

    Whoops… Still – Just makes my point even stronger…

    as the pop phenomena that it become, BUFFY THE VAMPIRE SLAYER deserves, more than a second chance a new life.

    and we NEED Joss Whedon back on tv. ASAP.

  • Da_illest1

    veronica mars!!!!!

  • Da_illest1

    and middleman

  • Chris

    What's wrong with you people!?!

    CARNIVALE!!!!

    !

  • Sharpfox18

    Rockos Modern Life

  • Chip

    Farscape. There are so many more stories that you could tell in that universe.

    At least we have the comic series right now.

  • Mark_whittington0607

    I don't get Life on Mars being on the list, as it ended properly and and hanging plots were cleaned up in Ashes to Ashes?

  • James

    Veronica Mars – one of my all time favorite shows!!! ;)
    Pushing Daisies (plus Dead like me and Wonderfalls!!)
    Sliders
    Quantum Leap
    The 4400
    Tru Calling

    :)

  • philfromgermany

    Mystery Science Theater 3000
    Twin Peaks
    The Wire
    Pirates of Dark Water

  • JoshW

    Reaper! :) A show that should have never been cancelled!!!

  • Cyberv

    Veronica Mars. Best detective show in ages.

    I miss it. It was a long time ago, and I still want to be friends.

  • http://profiles.yahoo.com/u/SM4CMA3W7ATUSRC322Z3MCBHY4 Charles

    The Simpsons seasons 3 through 8

  • theConundrumm

    instinct had me click on Firefly, only to realise Middleman should have been my first choice… though i like the idea of an animated Middleman…

  • Koltan

    Terminator: SCC has gone too early. I want to see the continuation.

  • dnluser

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

  • Alien

    Bring back TSCC !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  • RunnerX13

    Um, none of these; I vote for Flashforward.

  • Jesse Torrey

    Actually, I vote for Legend of the Seeker, dammit!

  • Wayne Ligon

    Firefly, first and foremost.
    Pushing Daisies
    The 4400 (AKA WHat Heroes Should Have Been Like)
    Heroes, particularly if you have Peter step out of Pam's shower and say the last three seasons were terrible dreams.
    Veronica Mars

  • Halcyon

    Farscape. The best Science Fiction tv series ever made IMO.

  • Kombat Wombat

    Flashforward, yeah it was slow but let them finish what they started.

    All series should be allowed a minimum of 2 seasons that way they would know during season 1 that they will be cancelled & can at least reach a conclusion for the people that do watch.

  • e.

    Movie is being shot this year!

  • Martin

    The 2nd season of Jericho showed that there was a way of bringing back a cancelled series to give closure to open topics. Personally I think the the 2nd season was way better than 1st one.
    Of the options I voted “Pushing Daisies” but I wanted to see also in the list “Geeks and Freaks” and “Arrested Development”

  • Jbartley67

    i picked sarah connor chronicles because of how it ended with so much potential still to go. but, firefly, heroes, invasion, and flashforward all need to come back.

  • Vincentcostumer

    Not a strictly sci-fi choice, but mine would be “Beauty and the Beast”. Everyone in the fandom hated the way CBS slaughtered it. Ron Perlman could easily return as Vincent, though I'm not sure about Linda Hamilton. Maybe a reboot with new casting all around…

  • Mitch

    Forever Knight? Twin Peaks?

  • Bill4935

    Firefly. AND NOTHING ELSE.

    Oh, and the following 25 people who are definitely not alts of mine also vote for Firefly.

  • hal jordan

    justice league, transformers animated, batman beyond, reno 911, huff, my name is earl (even though the last season sucked)

  • Mr. M

    “All series should be allowed a minimum of 2 seasons that way they would know during season 1 that they will be cancelled & can at least reach a conclusion for the people that do watch. “

    I think that would be an economical disaster!

  • Paul1963

    Even though the successes of “Chuck” and “Castle” create major casting issues, I still had to pick “Firefly.”
    “Heroes” was an overdue mercy-killing. Never got into “Enterprise.” “Bones'” success bars an “Angel” revival (I miss “Firefly” more, so it got my vote).
    I'd watch another year of “Mission Hill,” “Life,” “Arrested Development,” or “Better Off Ted.”

  • lolol

    I like TV Show Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

  • Dfo

    Veronica Mars

  • Impreze

    Save tscc!!!

  • Crml_vllnv

    Arrested development!!!

  • Sh0gg0th

    TERMINATOR: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. No contest.

  • Tofer1967

    Firefly should get the reboot. SyFy, TNT or Spike should step up to make it happen! Show was never given a chance considering how bad Fox screwed up its time slot and messing with the episodes release schedule.

    AND WE WANT DEADWOOD SEASON 4!!!

  • http://keydemographic.blogspot.com/ Zig2K

    I would have to say NONE of the shows listed should be brought back. They were ALL horrible.

  • a2veg

    As the World Turns

  • Miksamkhin

    Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mast be save!!!

  • Ostrakos

    How to choose just one? Firefly, Dollhouse, Pushing Daisies and outside of genre television I'd like more King of the Hill, Arrested Development, Freaks and Geeks…

  • Pootywedge

    Book's story is coming in the comics…the GN was solicited in the new Previews!

  • Adam J

    Megas XLR

  • MisterSix

    Reaper. And a no-flash Drawn Together.

  • Jrhaynes104

    REAPER! Please God, bring it back!

  • Strangewingz

    Firefly!

  • Real213

    Blade the series

  • Kombat Wombat

    Not really, perhaps it would make the studios pick what they commission a bit more carefully. More quality on the tube, less rubbish.
