shows that should come back [Archive] - The Technodrome Forums

I know Im in a minority with my 2 choices...

Bionic Woman (2007) If you head on over the IMDB page for this you'll see alot of people that liked it and if anything just wanted a proper ending to first and only season. It was actually getting really good but just because of the writers strike it got canceled.

Cavemen-Ya,ya I know...the first few episodes were so-so but before the strike it was actually pretty darn funny even if not all the jokes were cavemen-related and Iv come across alot of people on various forums say the same thing...it was getting funnier with every episode.

It doesnt make sense to cancel any show because of a strike. If a show is pulling in more and more ratings with every episode that means more people are watching. A strike for us vewiers is just a break, it doesnt mean we all of sudden get our brains zapped and were not gonna watch a show once the strike is over. When a TV show season ends we all keep watching next season dont we? Of course we do, same diffrence.

Im 100% positive that these two shows would have lasted alot longer if that strike never happend.

I would just loev to get my hands on archives of old shows. there were so many that didn't make it big because there were so many. Like Dino Riders.

I also loved the disney shows like Rescue Rangers and Gummie bears. Also not Disney but the Racoons was awsome. ANYTHING from 80's and eraly 90s. They don't make them like they used to!

And Pushing Daisies...:cry:

The creator is a complete defeatist. I'm sure the show got a push when Rosie had that... thing... but he could have at LEAST tried a cable network.

I'd love to see Inspector Gadget come back... in the US. Gadgetinis I had to watch on Youtube, and I have zero faith that the Untitled Gadget project will even appear in the US at all....

I also loved the disney shows like Rescue Rangers and Gummie bears.

You don't know how much I want them to get back to making those kinda shows, period. I'd LOVE for Darkwing Duck to get a DTV movie that shows the true end of the series (not that nonsense about going back in time and getting stuck in maple syrup)... and I say, I'd LOVE to see Ducktales pull a 2k3TMNT, and make a Scrooge McDuck cartoon like the comic books, with Donald in every episode.

Millennium hands down. Nearly everyone who worked on the series agreed it should come back and in the interviews, which were done almost 10 years after the series had ended, most of the cast and crew said they would come back. Lance even said he would do a movie.

I think a movie is what they should do to wrap up the series. they tried to on an episode of X-files but the two shows were too different in tone and X-files was just to goofy to house a dark character like Frank Black.

Ugh, how could I forget RD? Though I do agree it should come back, I think it better if it return only to finalize the series, perhaps in a TV special, and give all us Smegheads some closure. However, I do feel Rimmer kicking Death in the nuts was a nice curtain call.

Is that movie even going to happen? They keep saying, "well, let's just make a movie or something..." and I haven't heard anything since. Pushing Daisies should take that cue and go with a movie as well. Didn't Firefly do that, and it was moderately successful or something?

Yep, Firefly did it. And I don't think Serenity did as well as those in charge were hoping, or I suppose it would have gotten us Firefly back on the air or at the very least another movie or two.

Sigh...

At least there's the Serenity comics, Dark Horse having just finished a 3 issue mini a little while ago. Just another sad case of something so awesome that only the small percentage of intelligent people in this world "get it" and the rest of the idiots never catch on. This in a nutshell, is exactly how things gain "cult" status.

Mighty Max! This show was awsome and it needs to come back or have a movie, it deserves a better ending than what it got.

Conan the Adventurer, I loved this show growing up and I didn't get to see it's spin off series that primeired on saturdays where Conan takes three kids under his wing and they have special itemsa that give them powers.

Gargoyals! Man I would love to pretend that the spin off never happened and they can animate and show the stories that I've heard has been continuing in comic book form. This is the best animated series to hit American tv in my opinion.

Also I would to see some of the spin offs that I've heard mention floating around of the Castle Wevryn occupants and the Gargoyals before Galioth and was born. The story of what what happened to the book of spells (which name I can't think of right now) as it went through century to century. The spin off with King Author and Griff. And I think there was more. But I would love to see these animated and on tv. That would be sweet!

Only if the toys ever came back, but it would get a total reboot. And I doubt they'd get Rob Paulsen and all them back.

I say anyone who expects anything from Disney besides Hanna Montana and HSM and the like is out of their mind. Again, they should have given the TV cartoon studios to Lassiter too.

On that subject, I wanna see a new House of Mouse or Mouse Works, putting the gang into funny situations, and not just ones where you have to sit there listening to them answering their own questions about where the green ball is (Mickey's Clubhouse... coff coff). If anyone has seen the Goofy short "How to Hook up your Home Entertainment System" it proves they can do quality hilarious cartoons featuring the old characters... all the while keeping it classic while making it modern. And No CGI is needed (Mickey looks terrible as a CGI).

I know, I'm just saying it should. Even if it was just a DTV thing.

unfortunately you're probably right with that too. Infact they'd probably change the whole tone and premise of the series into some thing more "toy commercial-ish" and take away all it's integrity. And I would cry if they could get Rob Paulsen, and Tim Curry and who ever voiced Norman to reprise their roles. It's bad enough Tony Jay wouldn't be around to voice Virgil. :cry:

Yeah, I've lost hope about the movie ages ago. I heard about the return in half-hour installments back when it was announced in September, but don't have much confidence, especially being a US resident. I doubt BBC America will air anything Red Dwarf, leaving me with waiting for a DVD release.

I could see someone turning the thing into a lackluster knockoff of Ben 10 or something like that. But then again, the toys would scream "Choking Hazard" and some idiot would give it to a child who's too young to play with it. So even then, a revival wouldn't last too long.

An action/adventure toon about a young boy who becomes the "cap-bearer", a hero who will save the world from the evil Skullmaster. With the knowledgeable aid of the Lemurian Virgil (who resembles a humanoid chicken - Virgil: "Fowl, actually", this being a running gag in the show); and the brute-force protection of Norman, an ancient warrior.

I think I would like to see Golden Girls on tv again. I've really come to love that show and at tiems I think it should film new episodes...before the cast starts dying off. :(

Also my mom loved Touched by an Angel and got me into it. It was such a great show and I want to see it come back.

It's not gone yet, but Battlestar Galactica shouldn't end. Not yet anyway.

I'd like to see the original Ninja Turtles cartoon return. Maybe see how the 80's Turtles would go on in current times. Would April's fashion sense have changed at all?:)

Essentially, the toyline was "Polly Pocket For Boys". Suffice to say, it was a breif success...and then boys discovered they were buying Polly Pocket playsets.

Mighty Max gained a considerable cult rep, and is known for having not only some of the most violent morally shocking episodes of a 1990s series, but also a finale that had the balls to kill off most of the supporting cast and then retcon the entire timeline with only Max remembering the original course of events.

I have to admit I'd probably be nostalgic enough for MMPR if they released some sort of continuation of the original American Power Rangers, like an animated series or something (I'm assuming they're out of stock footage, and of course there's the unfortunate passing of the Yellow Ranger).

wow, that sounds so cool and interesting. How come cartoons from the 80's and 90's got away with gritty stuff like that, and now adays it so restricted? Is this show on dvd? I kight want to check it out.
