If you had the power to bring back one TV show
What would the show be. No limit. It could be any show.
Arrested Development. One of the greatest shows on the planet.

Probably Ally McBeal, as long as Lucy Liu was a predominant member of the cast.

Once and Again... no question about it. Alot of other shows might have been really great but just about finished their runs. O&A was cut down in its prime.
Other than that... Arrested Development would also be pretty high on my list. That show is just so freakin smart.

I kind of liked Dead Like Me.
I've never seen Deadwood but I think it should get its ending.

Yes.
Oh, and if someone mentions Friends, I'm going to beat them senseless with the weight of my depression (roughly five refills of Zoloft... could leave a substantial mark)...

The X-Files.
So they can somehow wrap it up on a high note and not as terribly as they actually did.

Well, Arrested Development, of course. Easily.
As much as I'd like to still be seeing new episodes of them, most of my cancelled or off-the-air favorites (Friends, Six Feet Under, Alias) actually ran their course.
Huff would be another pick of mine.

Arrested Development or The Lone Gunmen. Probably Gunmen, because AD did have an ending of sorts. Then again, the Gunmen had their own ending on The X-Files.

As much as I would love for Friends and Seinfeld to come back, they had good runs and I wouldn't want them to ruin that. I do miss both of those shows a ton, though, especially Friends.
I vote for Arrested Development or Once and Again.

The obvious choice is Arrested Development, but it at least got the chance to have a real finale. Dead Like Me was cancelled after the second season's finale was totally setting up for a third season. So I think I have to go with DLM.

Quantum Leap.
I'd go for Wild Wild West, but if we're talking real-life, there's no way I'd want to see it brought back without the late, great Ross Martin.
So, yeah, Quantum Leap.

Also Seinfeld, would be weird to see them still going at it.
And Beverly Hills 90210 with the spoiled brats as now the parents.

Red Dwarf, if the writing team from seasons 1 to 6 came back.

Buffy. As long as they re-do the last 15 eps of season 7.

I'd agree with the second part.
I liked Buffy but I always thought it lost an edge after season 5.

Season 6 is my favourite season, so underrated.

It went far to dark for my liking. Dark Angst was what Angel did well, Buffy's spikey humour was what made it so enjoyable. Seasons 6 and 7 were just to serious in their overall arc's. Season 6 did have some very decent episodes thou.

Well its about time the audience grew up. I mean how sad was THE BODY and THE GIFT compared to season 6.
The audience didn't want to grow up with Buffy, thats why Season 6 and 7 are always negatively talked about, especially 6.

On the subject of shows like The X-Files, Friends, and Seinfeld, they've all ended. It'd be your choice to bring them back, but I think shows that have run their course (and became heavily criticized in their last years, like X-Files) should remain dead and buried.
Not that anyone here can resurrect any of these shows. But, I'm happy with what we have from Friends and Seinfeld.

The Mole. The smartest reality show ever. And I don't want that celebrity crap either! The good, normal one.
