View Full Version : What T.V show would you bring back
T.V sucks these days, its not original. It seems like no one is creative anymore and its a bunch of scripted reality fake bullshit.
I prefer the shows that has a good story line that if you miss one episode youre lost and have to Tivo it to catch up.
Remember Simon&Simon? How about Hardcastle and McCormick with that car? The Coyote I believe.
I used to watch G.I Joe almost everday too so lets not forget about cool cartoons.
My favorite show to this day is Twilight Zone, it has a moral in every episode. Makes you think.
NOT saying to RE-MAKE the shows, just bring them back as Re-runs

I'd bring back these:
Jericho
The Unit
Rat Patrol
UFO
WKRP in Cincinnati
The Midnight Special
To those I might add shows that I miss but I'm glad they really finished their run:
Babylon 5
The X Files
MASH
Dukes of Hazzard
Hee Haw
Laugh In
Rockford Files
Star Trek (the original, of course)
A Haunting
Cheers
Three's Company
The A-Team
And of course shows that I used to like, and are still on, but should be retired:
Ghost Hunters
Storm Chasers
American Chopper
Saturday Night Live
Celebrity Ghost Stories
Pawn Stars
Last, but not least, shows I hope last for the remainder of my natural life:
TacTV (yes, already hooked)
My Ghost Story
Threes company was a good one. Loved it. Notice how that last group was all reality except for one. lol

Used to be in love with Suzanne Somers. Until she became a money grubbing egotist and ruined the show that is. And reality shows are about all I can stomach any more.
I tried getting interested in The Walking Dead, Burn Notice, Falling Skies, The Closer, The Shield, etc., and I just can't.
BTW, I need to add Hill Street Blues, Paranormal State, Little House on the Prairie, the original Twilight Zone, the original Outer Limits, and LA Law to the list of ones that I miss but I'm glad they're gone.

I'd also bring back High Incident, probably the best cop show ever.
I wouldn't want to bring back favorite classics, they'd just **** them up. There couldn't be a Twilight Zone without Rod Serling, the 2002 series proves that.
Hogan's Hero's
Charlies Angels
Giligan's Island
Beat me to it... High Incident. I also liked Combat Missions.

I thought of another one I'd like to see come back: UFO Hunters.
Of all the speculative shows about E.T.'s this one came the closest to being objective and turning up some tangible evidence. I particularly liked the so-called alien implant episode. The implant appeared to be emitting a radio signal that stopped the minute they removed it from a patient.

X Files :cool:
Please don't bring back the classics to be butchered. Just look at whay they did with Knight Rider and Hawaii 5-0! The A-Team movie sucked pond scum compared to the series.
The 80's had some of the best shows. . . http://www.crazyabouttv.com/decades/1980s.html
You're showing your age.
That's where you're wrong. Those shows had stopped being produced before I was born. I grew up in a very small town with a local TV station that re-ran all the classics. Much better fare than the trash that is generally put out today.
Is there something wrong, to you, with someone liking these shows? Put down the game controller and read; or watch a classic show.
And when I think of "bring back," I mean air the original shows; not remake.

Dude, there was no call for that.
I'd bring back:
MST3K (thirded or fourthed, whatever)
MacGuyver
Farscape
Firefly
Tour of Duty
The Fall Guy
Six Million Dollar Man
24.
Laugh all you want, but compare it to the current plethora of pathetic, stupid, unbelievable, PC, and just plain retarded series of cop/detective shows that the networks keep trotting out, and that show was pretty badass....
For other shows: I quite liked the old H five-o and Magnum PI, although a little dated now.
Also, the Dick Van Dyke show- BEST oldschool sitcom EVER! Actually funny, and suprisingly still relevant.
And Tom & Jerry cartoons....:lol:

How about Dragnet with Jack Webb and Harry Morgan?
I saw it in syndication when I was a kid. That show more than any other made me want to work in law enforcement.
Combat!

Firefly, Jerhico, Space Above and Beyond
For those that do not like remakes, Battlestar Gallactica the remake beats the unholly shit out of the original series.
But as good as the remake was, I'm glad it's done, and they ended it amazingly well, and I will not watch (anymore) of that stupid prequel show.
Simon and Simon
Remington Steel
and the classic....Matlock lol
Firefly.
Gorram right - now that was a show.

I read somewhere that Firefly is actually coming back on SciFi next year.
Deadwood would be my top choice. Magnum PI would be another.

I havent had cable in 2 years so I miss everything you have said guys. I loved that fire fly show and the unit was getting good. Sons on FX is my show now I get it on net flix.
Firefly.
I also really enjoyed the Shield, but it finished its run rather well.
The Unit...... pre season 4.
Airwolf back before they put everybody and their grand mother and auntie in the damn cockpit.
And I really loved Good Times. Most comedies today don't tackle "social issues" like the old 70s and 80s sit coms did.

As far as sitcoms go I always enjoyed Cheers and then of course Frazier.

Murder She Wrote
Firefly. Not only one of the best SciFi series, but some of the best TV ever. I wish it could be completed.
Another one I wish could be completed is Roughnecks, The Starship Troopers Chronicles. Good, entertaining story telling and great character development. The CGI was pretty good as well. I wanted to see how Johnny Rico was going to handle his battle field promotion to Lieutenant

=====================================
I agree about Andy. Really surpised it wasn't mentioned more. My favorite of all time. Good woman!
Did you know that Floyd the barber had a stroke and was paralyzed in like the second season. But they kept him in the series where he was sitting or propped up, so he could make a living.
They treated people right in those days...
But maybe it's just me...

Didn't know about Howard McNear having a stroke. He also played Doc Adams for Gunsmoke on the radio. Not a TV show, but I wish they'd play it again

My favorite show when I was a kid was Get Smart.

Hell yeah!!!
I remember all of the toys that came out from that TV show, like the Six-Finger and the Briefcase with all of the guns and stuff. It would probably cost a fortune to buy those now.
ETA: The above post about Get Smart appeared while I was typing, that show is hilarious!!!

Magnum F'n P.I.
The Ferrari GTB, the buddy with a chopper, the estate, the club, hot chicks and occasionally he shot someone who needed it. I wanted to BE Thomas Magnum when I grew up!
Simon & Simon, Tour of Duty, and a few others were good and I would watch again.

Can't believe ya'll have forgotten about Archie Bunker!

I just started watching it again, and I remembered how long I waited for Niles, and Daphne to get together.
I felt so gay.
Not sure if anyone noticed lately, but on Cartoon Network (E) they have been playing the shit out of looney tunes and Tom&Jerry.
I dont care what age you are man those are CLASSICS!
Firefly marathon today, all day.
Just thought I would let all the fans know! lol
The greatest travesty in television was the cancellation of KINGS (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kings_%28U.S._TV_series%29).
It is my belief that the show was simply to intelligent for the modern viewing audience. They don't know how to comprehend anything more than Reality TV and Sitcoms.
Firefly is a close second.

Space Above and Beyond was awesome.
Robert Conrad was great in WWW. Too bad the remake was more of a comedy.
Surprised no one has mentioned "The Untouchables". The original 1959 series with Robert Stack, not the later remake.
The Addams Family was a classic.
