So, as time moves by, no wait, that sounds boring.
Um... There comes a time when our... No...

Ah, heck, what shows do you wish would come back?

I miss these:

Chowder
That's So Raven
Phil of the future
Rollie Pollie Ollie
And of course, The Muppet Show!

You?

I wish Greatest American Hero had lasted a bit longer or returned to TV, such a funny show, lol. :smile:

Moonlighting.
The A Team. (can't do it now though, unless we have zombie George Peppard...)
Firefly!!!
American Gothic. ("That's Buck. With a 'B'.")

And I'm ticked that "Happytown" was canceled before I saw all the eps...will have to get it on dvd.

But...we may get another Muppet Show! Whoo hooo!

The name did them in. Pleasantburg, Wholesomington... something that got the point that this is a place where bad things happen and it has an ironic name without the word "Happy" in it. All I can think of when I hear "Happytown" is every parody of saccharine-ness in kid's programming ever where they use the term. I'm guessing too many viewers though that as well. it was probably a good show and all, but they really could have been a little more creative as far as the name went.

Still, the genre show where they have a big ambitious plotline is dying for good reason. Most of them end in cancellation before the big reveal, either giving us an open end or a horribly rushed, unsatisfying ending. And even if they do live long, full television lives, they could end with a screw you to the fans the way Lost did... so basically no one really wants to care about them anymore.

On topic, I want to say Arrested Development (like basically everyone else in the known universe), but they actually ARE filming the mini-series version that's supposed to lead up to the film. I've been "I'll believe it when I see it" about the whole project, but they've apparently started filming, and I think Will Arnett said something about it somewhere when he was promoting Secret of Arrietty.
