#QuestionOfTheDay: If you could bring back one TV show that was cancelled, which one would you bring back?
@GaryPoole
"Firefly."
@GaryPoole Dr Miguelito Loveless and the rest of the cast. They can do it all AI.
@GaryPoole
Firefly
@GaryPoole Constantine. Matt Ryan nailed the character. I’d move it to HBO Max however.
@GaryPoole I could see the wire, not only an excellent show but realistic according to my friends in that business.
@GaryPoole
Ah Soap. Like Blazing Saddles, a production far ahead of its time. Both excellent.
@GaryPoole "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman"
@GaryPoole many peeps will say firefly but i just thought it was 'okay'.
hard to say b/c some great shows start to wither on the vine & went on too long. i put mad men & killing eve in this category.
then there's shows that were awesome but could they come back now & still be just as great? i don't think so. i put ER & spin city in that category.
then there's shows that i could have used another season tho they ended well - happy valley, miss fisher's murder mysteries, taboo.
@singlemaltgirl @GaryPoole
It's not that Firefly only "okay", it's that it never really had the chance to be great. That one season showed a lot of promise that never had the opportunity to bloom.
@ArcturusSaDiablo totally fair assessment. i thought it had some great elements. it never got to live up to the potential & would have been nice if it could have. is that magic gone, tho, now? could it be gotten back? i doubt it. all the actors would have to be recast. & who would be able to write it? whedon is an ass & hopefully blacklisted at this point. i think the time has passed, unfortunately. @GaryPoole
It wasn't cancelled, but my choice would be M*A*S*H
@GaryPoole Boston Legal was one of my favorites.
@GaryPoole
I kinda agree with the Firefly folks, but I wouldn't want it brought back now. I would like to have seen it continue rather than get axed. Trying to restart it now after Serenity just wouldn't be the same. I would also liked to have seen Swift Justice continue
@GaryPoole BJ and the Bear! Ahh 70's TV!
For me it's a tie between "Soap" and "The Wire".
Yes, I have a rather eclectic taste in television shows.
