Friends! I want that one revived so badly.

And I would say Will & Grace but it looks like they are brining it back for a mini-revival!

Also to my pleasant surprise in the past few years, they've done some spinoffs and revivals of my childhood favorites- Gilmore Girls for a Netflix revival, Boy meets World with their Girls Meets World spinoff that sadly just ended after 3 seasons, and Full house with Fuller house on Netflix.

Stalker. Had the odd cliche moments but the basic premise was interesting, eerie and original, with good episodes poking through.

Firefly

Ghost Hunters International

America's Most Wanted

Are you Afraid of the Dark?

Golden years of The Simpsons

Golden years of 90's kid's cartoons.

The Tudors. Felt like they ended too soon by typically ending with the death of King Henry VIII, they could have easily continued on with the life and sibling dramas of King Edward, Mary and Elizabeth Tudor in their youth - A topic and era that isn't covered as much as the life of Henry and Elizabeth as an adult Queen. Would have been really different.



I think there is a lot more that I hadn't remember yet, but first came to mind!

OOOOOOOH...forgot GHI!  Yes!  Now that GH is gone, there is a real dearth of decent paranormal programming.

I think one of my favorites was Six Feet Under as well as The Addams Family, (loved Lurch and Cousin It).  

My other all time favorite was Gilmore Girls, my daughters and I would bond over watching it together - my oldest said she was Lane and my youngest mirrored Rory.  I guess that left me to be Lorelei, lol.  My husband started watching with us in the later episodes, of course, he liked Luke.  
Oh Six Feet Under was fantastic. Would love to see that come back

We should all write a letter to Alan Ball, the show's creator. 
  He was so talented and clever. The beginning was always the best part.

My first thought was also the Golden Girls. I still can't believe that Estelle, Bea and Rue are all gone. It could only be with the original cast. May they all RIP. Don't leave us Betty. We still need you.

One of my favorite scenes EVER from TGG. I have seen every episode many times.


I also agree about The Sopranos (it really was the best show of all time) and Six Feet Under (top 5)

Yeah, that scene was really funny. The Golden Girls was one of my favorite shows. I liked Rue the best and of course Betty White. Betty just turn 95 a few weeks ago.

My co-worker has the Six Feet Under entire collection, so Rick and I were able to binge-watch the episodes. Excellent show. 

He also has Alias, so I binge-watched that show, too. (He and I had made an agreement that, if I watched Alias, he would watch Supernatural. I gave him all my Supernatural DVDs and he gave me Alias. He didn't think he'd Supernatural at all; turns out he really got hooked.)

I was able to watch Firefly that way, too. A great one-season wonder. 

I would love for Moonlight to come back, but it won't ever happen. It was on CBS before all the hoopla about vampires and such, so it didn't really have a chance.

One episode of Six Feet Under traumatised me so badly I couldn't get past it.

I loved Supernatural but these days only watch it out of habit. Fitefly was amazing. Moonlight was great as was Buffy, Angel and The Wire.

I still like Supernatural, but man, they went through some rough patches more than once. I don't know if it was the writing or what, but something was bad a few seasons back. Sometimes I think I still watch it out of habit, too, though. It's like I stuck by it for the last....how many years? I hate to stop now!

Did anybody watch Deadwood? We binge-watched that on DVDs (my co-worker) again and we enjoyed that. It was good. And, of course, Dexter. We really liked Dexter (except for the series finale). I think I made it through three seasons of True Blood before I gave up on it. I had read all the books.

My co-worker has Game of Thrones and he's been bugging me to watch it. You name a series, he probably has it, even some of the really old shows. My other co-worker and I were amazed when he told us he had never heard of The X-Files. We stood there and

Frasier: I bought episodes from Amazon, and it's still a well-made program, and still funny.

Ghost Hunters (TAPS).

Deadwood was excellent! HBO really knows how to make great shows. They need to get back on that

All seasons of Frasier (my DD and I LOVE that show) are available to stream on Netflix!! I have binge watched it many times. Another show that was cast perfectly.
