The Stargate series. They should make Stargate Ancients.

There are so many great episodes to choose from, but Granddad’s Fight (s1 e4) is still one of my all time favorite TV show episodes.

Mandatory Firefly comment
Man, that show was so likable, but I could never get over the pro-Confederate vibes, even with all the staff denials.
Call me crazy, but if I was going to bring back a series doomed by its association with Joss Whedon I’d give The Nevers another shot. I thought it was fun and then the Whedon thing happened and Covid happened and people seem to just have agreed it wasn’t worth it and gone home.
I don’t care, I’m still free, you can’t take the original series from me.
There’s talk of a reboot, and that’s not what anyone wanted at all…
If they did another series they could do it without rebooting, just a different set of characters in the same ‘verse. Maybe meeting the originals at various times.
I have zero interest in that either. Those specific characters were the whole appeal to that show.
Dark Matter (the SyFy show), it was just getting good!
Also Pushing Daisies, Better Off Ted, Jericho, My So Called Life, Dead Like Me, Freaks and Geeks…
Cool. Cool cool cool.
I’m here for Pushing Daisies.
Better Off Ted and Dead Like Me, yeah
Why would Freaks and Geeks need another season? It ended fine.
Some shows are great in part because they knew where to end. F&G, AtlA, The Good Place all for example.
Martin Starr is too cool now lol. Freaks and geeks might be hilarious with all the same actors now.
I imagine Bertram Gilfoyle is the adult that Bill Haverchuck grew up to be
I actually know Martin in real life and worked with him for almost a year and he’s almost exactly like his Guilfoyle character. He probably was Bill as a young person lol. The only difference is he’s super sweet but still has that dead pan sense of fuck you humor.
Lol that’s awesome
Better Off Ted had so much potential :(
Seems all the more relevant today. They should revive the series, as long as Phil and Lem are still around.
Last Man on Earth, too!
As long as we’re on cancelled sci-fi shows, Babylon 5 spinoffs. The entire setting is more or less dead and it hurts.
(Yes, I know about The Road Home. It’s not the same.)
Problem with that is that almost everyone who was interesting is dead. Actor wise.
Yep. (Mira Furlan was a real punch in the gut, particularly.)
Every time somebody mentions Firefly I automatically think of The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Bruce Campbell in a steampunk cowboy romp across the old west?
That show ended way too soon.
The title has two questions and this one only fits one of them.
Wish wasn’t cancelled, yes!
Wish they brought it back? No, it was a long time ago, and they made Serenity to close off the story and tie things up. It’s likely that bringing it back would do more harm than good.
Manual transmissions in the United States.
Master and Commander should be several movies and an MMO game.
Hear him, hear him! A glass of wine with you, sir. Killick! Killick there, light along with the Madeira damn your eyes!
Compact pickup trucks. I got one of the last S10s made and it’s older than the average Tiktokist.
I want another Splinter Cell game.
But seeing what Ubisoft has become…maybe it’s for the best we haven’t had a new one in 11 years.
Too bad they won’t let someone else make a new game.
Same for Deus Ex.
Xenosaga
I always thought discounting the 3ds series was stupid. Nintendo switch is good and all but there is something about this console
Raised By Wolves. Stargate Universe.
Wah. SGU is a hot take. What did you like about it?
I couldn’t even say if I liked it or not. I couldn’t see anything because it was so dark
Yeah my primary memories of that show were everything was dark and nothing on the ship worked.
Everything. Great cast, interesting concept, nice mysteries and cool discoveries. It was a fun show.
I’ll add the Terminator TV series with Lena Headly to my list of “bring it back” as well.
Sarah Connor Chronicles was top tier.
I feel like RBW was just starting to get good, and then they cancel it.
Series: santa clarita diet. Weird humor, weird setting, but I liked it a lot… cancelled and ended on a cliffhanger.
Lodge 49
Yes! Such a fun show.

The Old Reader is pretty close.
Daredevil. I’m thrilled its coming back with the same cast.
It is? Nice!
