If you could have one more season of a cancelled/ended show, which one would you choose to revive?
I’ll get the obvious out of the way and say Deadwood. And Rome.
I’d also like more Sarah Connor Chronicles.
You?

Yup, definitely Firefly.
Arrested Development, obviously. I think they could’ve gone another season without veering into self-parody.
Jericho When it was good it rivaled 24 in the “nail-biting suspense” department but, too often, it would sabotage it’s strengths with awful B plotlines.
Party Down ended as well as it could have but I could easily watch another 10 seasons of that show*.*
I’ll second The Sarah Connor Chronicles. That show was ballsy & quite often inspired.
Spike’s Blade series. The bastards name-dropped Moon Knight in the premiere episode, and we never got to see the inevitable team-up!
“Star Trek: TOS,” the 1960s “Batman” and “The Incredible Hulk;” for the last one, I’d be content a two-parter where he cures himself and clears his name, actually. Hell, throw “The Flash” in there, too.
As Firefly, Rome, Deadwood, Sarah Connor and AD have already been mentioned I’ll throw in The Middleman, Clone High and Undergrads
I would’ve liked 1 more season of Pushing Daisies. It was such an optimistic happy show.
Rome, Deadwood, Jericho, AD, Angel, Studio 60, Sports Night.
ACaprica and Flash Forward.
The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.
Freaks & Geeks, without question.
Most of the above. I would love another season of both Now and Again and Brimstone.
Firefly is the most obvious one for me. That was such a great ensemble cast and fantastically set up universe. Also, it depresses me that Nathan Fillion is starring in a generic procedural instead of playing an iconic sci-fi character and becoming a huge star.
Much as I love Arrested Development, we got such a perfect 3 season run, I’m ok with it going out like it did. If I have to pick one comedy to give another season to, it would be Better Off Ted, which had really gotten insanely strong by the end of the second season. “Racial Sensitivity” and “Lust in Translation” are two of my favorite episodes of comedy of all time. Honestly, the world is worse off for not having another season of Phil and Lem.
Angel. Just one more season (or even 12 episodes as a midseason replacement in the year after its cancellation) would have been enough to wrap things up more conclusively.
I loved the finale of Veronica Mars, but I would have loved another season even more.
Terriers, of course, partially so I could go see it filming in Ocean Beach
Joan of Arcadia, which ends on a hell of a cliffhanger. (Shut up, it was a good show.)
I’d have to go with Fred Goss’ “Sons and Daughters”. I caught it by accident one night and thought it was hilarious. I know people think it was an “Arrested Development” rip off but really, how many shows can you say that about?
Anyway, I thought it was a pretty funny show and was disappointed when it didn’t find the audience it needed to continue…
Second place would be OZ. It had some closure, but not enough.
Since TOS has been mentioned I’ll go with Star Trek: Enterprise. I would love to see where Manny Coto would have taken the show. That last season was so good…except the finale. Also while not technically “cancelled”…I would have been down for another season of the West Wing set during the Santos administration.
I’ll echo not giving AD another season. It was perfect where it was at. It’s the same reason we don’t need the AD movie.
Rome most definitely.
Terriers of course.
And I don’t know the circumstances with Spaced, if it ended like it was supposed to or canceled, but I’m gonna be honest and say I’d murder any one of you for another season. Hell, I’d murder almost anyone of my friends too.
I think I’d give a year’s wages for another season of Deadwood. If I got the credit, of course.
Firefly, Studio 60 and Sports Night. In that order.
