Back from the dead: fans choose!
A few weeks ago, AOL Television editors and TV Squad bloggers teamed up to name the shows they wished could come back from the dead.
Many of you wondered, "Where's Arrested Development? Freaks and Geeks?? Sports Night???" You took issue with some of the choices -- especially shows that had long runs, like The West Wing. For others, our picks were too edgy, like Keen Eddie.
So, we gave you the chance to strike back: We asked fans on both sites to nominate the shows you'd resurrect from the graveyard of television. Boy, was there a long list. We gathered together some of the best posts and here are the results.
TV shows we wish could come back from the dead
I'm bitter. A couple weeks back, I Netflixed the movie Serenity. The first time I saw it, in theaters, I was so excited that Firefly fans had rallied to get it made. Watching it again, a cold, hard realization dawned on me: There will never be any more Firefly, ever again. The TV show is dead and gone, and there probably won't be any more movies. I went through all the stages of grief: denial, anger, bargaining, depression and finally, grudging acceptance.
Firefly is just one of many shows sent to the television graveyard much too early. But what if we had the chance to bring our favorites back from the dead? That's just what the writers at AOL Television and TV Squad decided to do. Not only did we name the shows we'd like to revive, we outlined how they could make their grand return.
Take a look at our choices, then tell us which show you wish could come back from the dead and why. We'll take the best ones and publish them in two weeks.
