What shows would you like to see brought back for 1 last season? (1 Viewer)

comfortably numb

I think Netflix is onto something really big with "Fuller House" They also did this with The Killing and probably some other ones that I do not know about.
Fox just did this with X-Files.
You can bring back a show for a 4-8 episodes in a miniseries for 1 last hoorah  or a where are they now type of thing or a spring board to a spinoff.

I would like to bring back Married with Children for a last season. Married with Grandchildren maybe?

Al and Peg are slinging insults at each other while watching Kelly's 4 kids as she shows up in slutty attire every 3rd scene?
It's Al's final year before retirement at the shoe store. When he goes to cash in on his 401k he finds that Peggy invested his portfolio in a bon-bon penny stock and blew all his savings.
After Macry and Jefferson hear about this, they recruit AL and Peggy into their ponzi scheme that eventually lands all four of them in federal prison where they are neighbors til they die
Bud is still living at home with his parents and on the verge of the creating the next big app to become a billionaire.
 

What would you like to see brought back?

 
The Sopranos (of course, you would have to confirm that Tony was killed in the finale).

Runner-up - Curb Your Enthusaism.  Not ready to let go of this show, even though it hasn't had a new episode in many years.

 
Mad Men (to clear up what

happened to Don
)

NYPD Blue (even though its ending was arguably perfect)

How did it end? I can't recall, which is odd since it was one of my all-time favorites.
I guess I'd better spoiler this.

Spoiler
Sipowicz decided to take the sergeant's exam.  The lieutenant was shot, not fatally, during a raid.  This opened up a chance or Andy to take over command of the squad.  Medavoy retired (in a wonderfully done set of scenes doing justice to the character), so Clark partnered up with Baldwin.  Rita remained partnered with Laura (?), her partner for the final season.  And two new guys came on to be the fifth and sixth detectives.  They blew a case, but Andy was able to show them how to fix it.  At the very end, all the detectives came into his office to say goodnight and see you tomorrow.  The show ended with a long tracking shot backing up toward the main door to the now-empty squad room, with Andy still sitting in his office doing some paperwork.  What I loved about it was that unlike many finales, there were no deaths or huge shocking changes (Medavoy's retirement was timely and logical).  Instead, you got a comforting sense that, just as in the real world, life would go on as normal for the 15th squad.

line of fire was about detectoerives in richmand virginia and it was pretty sweet it had ansoun mont in it before his hell on wheels days it only lasted a season i think but the old swcer watched it take that to the bank

 
Yes!  Another great call.  Boreanaz is still in shape.  And Amy Acker still looks fantastic (in blue or out).  Could maybe even pick up right where "Not Fade Away" ended. 
They actually did a comic series that picked up after Angel and Buffy went off the air. It's still ongoing. The angel one was definitely better though.

Runner-up - Curb Your Enthusaism.  Not ready to let go of this show, even though it hasn't had a new episode in many years.
In July 2015 at the Television Critics Association press tour, HBO programming chief Michael Lombardo expressed optimism for the future of Curb, saying that he had seen David before the start of his Broadway show, Fish in the Dark, and that he pointed to a notebook and told Lombardo that it was the next season of Curb. Lombardo said, "I don't think it's out of [Larry's] system, I think he wants to have something to say."[12]

 
Firefly seconded
As much as more Firefly has been a total pipe dream for years now, this actually seems like it could work.

There was never any real hope for the show to come back to TV.  It just doesn't work on TV and I don't think Fillion or Whedon would commit to anything long-term at this point in their careers with renewal being so tenuous.  Hope for a 2nd feature film died off years ago.

But a cult classic popular amongst geeky/tech savvy folks?  That seems like the perfect fit for a straight to Netflix type thing.  It being a set run of episodes and not something that has to fight renewal every year seems like it would make it even more likely, as both Fillion and Whedon seem to love doing those kind of things (they both did Dr. Horrible and Much Ado About Nothing, and Fillion just did Con-man as a straight to internet release).

The biggest challenge I would think would be the expensive sets, especially for a limited run, since I'm assuming the originals have all been destroyed by now.  I don't think most Firefly fans would mind though if they went cheaper on the effects this time around just to make the show happen.

1) they'd have to kill him right?  the lead actor is now dead.

2)  Totally agree,  larry david's small episode on SNL Bern your enthusiasm made me want more Larry for certain.

Other than Curb, there's really not anything I'm longing for that was previously cancelled.    Some things are better left dead.

Everytime I've thought I wanted more...  like Dumb and Dumber or Anchorman...  it turns out I really didn't want more.

Exactly.  I loved Seinfeld and Freaks & Geeks and some of the other shows mentioned in here, but I'm fairly certain that if either of those shows decided to do a new season today, it would suck.  

 
on a much lamer note,  2 animated series I used to watch got cancelled with no good ending and I'd definitely like to see those

The Amazing Spider-man comic from the 90's

and spectacular spider-man from teh early 00's

 
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles.  The show was vastly under-rated and the second season had a mind-bender of a cliff-hanger ending I would have loved to have seen where they took it.

 
Head of the Class

Dennis has failed every year and is still around promising to turn young high school girls into Hollywood stars.
