The ODI, CJ, Adam and Heather debate on what 2 shows should be brought back from the dead in our new Weekly Topic section. We talk about the return of Fringe, the finale of The Walking Dead and the latest episode of Awake.
The ODI, CJ, Adam and Heather are all back with their views on the latest TV and Movies. We talk about the return of Fringe (4x15), the latest episode of Awake (1x04) and the finale of The Walking Dead (2x13).
Weekly Topic: If you could bring back 2 shows from the dead, what would they be?
Imagine that you had the power to bring back 2 TV shows from the dead within the past 3 decades what would they be? What 2 shows would you choose? The ODI, CJ, Adam and Heather debate (or argue with CJ again) what shows they think deserve a 2nd chance? Some of the shows we discuss and argue over include: 24, Angel, Firefly, Friends, Heroes, LOST, Pushing Daisies, Scrubs, Veronica Mars and X-Files.
We could only agree on one show and could not decide on the second, so after you have listened to the podcast help us settle our debate(argument) and vote on which one we should have saved here
We would love to hear your opinions on what 2 shows you would revive and why below in the comments or via Email or Twitter. So let us know and we may discuss some of your choices next week.

Deadwood. My dearest Deadwood...I'd give anything to use the Resurrection Stone on it so it could actually end. I think it would have been the greatest, if it had been given the chance to finish the story.
ReplyDeleteLost and X-Files
ReplyDeleteTwin Peaks + Rubicon
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to listening.. and one of my votes for resurrected TV DEFINITELY goes to Veronica Mars... they took it from us too soon!
ReplyDeleteI think equal to Mike Brown.
ReplyDeleteI would love to see the end of that story
and see Ian Mcshane playng Al Swearengen again.
My second choice would be Rome... or OZ...or 24
realy don't know... so many...=P
Firefly, and one you didn't mention: Farscape.
ReplyDeleteJericho and X-Files. (Also considered Charmed, but there's so many I love that it's hard to choose.)
ReplyDeleteAngel and Terriers.
ReplyDeleteFirefly, and, if possibe, I'd save my other one for Fringe, for when it gets canceled before its time... :)
ReplyDeleteHey guys,
ReplyDeleteReally good podcast, I enjoyed and laugh a lot during the debate.
Thanks Adam and ODI for mention my choices! =)
In the end I think Lost an X-Files are the best options. Actually I haven't watched Heroes or X-Files, but I heard a lot of complaints about Heroes and I know X-Files still have a lot of fans, so if I need to choose between then I go with X-Files.
About Awake I finally watched the pilot and I think it was really well done, but I cannot believe one it's real and other it's not, in my mind the guy is dead and the wife and the son survived or at least he's almost dead in coma at the hospital.
Mari - @oblogdamari
Farscape and Veronica Mars for me.
ReplyDeleteFirefly and Studio 60.
ReplyDeleteFirefly most definitely then Dead Like Me.
ReplyDeleteDead Like Me
ReplyDeleteRobson Arms (maybe Corner Gas or SGU)
Too difficult. Veronica Mars, Deadwood, Party Down. Firefly, Pushing Daisies. HOW DO I PICK TWO ACK!
ReplyDeleteOf course I'm still a HUGE LOST fan, and I wish it would come back....but I'm not sure how it would fare w/o Damon and Carlton at the helm. I loved X-Files. But I'd have to say my second choice would be Firefly. That was a wonderful show. It had just found it's audience!
ReplyDeleteThey had better not cancel FRINGE!
Lie to me + Life
ReplyDeleteparty casino bonus code
ReplyDeleteMari, I'm with you -- I find it very hard to believe that one is real and one isn't; I also believe the guy is dead or comatose.
ReplyDeleteFirefly and Lie to Me
ReplyDeleteLost and Friends
ReplyDeleteThis!! Such a shame they didn't finish the story off, same with Carnivale which would be my other choice.
ReplyDeletex-files and firefly
ReplyDeleteFarscape for sure,i miss it like hell :(
ReplyDeleteVengeance Unlimited and Buffy !!!! :)))
ReplyDeleteIn terms of Awake, it'd be interesting if the crash somehow split his world into two separate realities and maybe he'll have to find a way to put them back together. It probably sounds like a crazy theory but it would be interesting and it'd mean there's a possibility for a happy ending because if one world is a dream, no matter which way it goes the end is still going to be devastating.
ReplyDeleteBuffy!!! Imagine the possibilities!
ReplyDeleteFarscape and Profit
ReplyDeleteFirefly and The X-Files.
ReplyDeleteunited states of tara and Party Down
ReplyDeleteWhy did they kill off John Locke? His death is arguably the most pivotal moment in the entire series.
ReplyDeletePushing Daisies and Lost (but only if they give it a good ending this time).
ReplyDeleteMy first choice would be Twin Peaks.
ReplyDeleteSecond Lost.
I forgot about Life. I loved it. :-(
ReplyDeleteDOH! Twin Peaks of course!
ReplyDeleteCharmed+Buffy
ReplyDelete24 and angel the ending really sucks.
ReplyDeleteLOST is my favorite show of all time, but there's no way I'd want to see it get another season. Everything important was answered except for minor things like the lighthouse, glass eye, RG bracelet, etc. And if it was revived for a Season 7 right after where Season 6 ended, it'd give us a pretty boring show... Off-island we'd just have Kate, Frank, Sawyer, Miles, Richard, and Claire trying to find some place to land and lay low for the rest of the show with no remaining connections to the island (and there'd also be the undoubtedly awkward attempt to transition Claire back in as Aaron's mother despite him growing up believing Kate is his mother) unless Paik Heavy Industries pulls a Widmore and goes after it. And on-island we'd just have Hurley, Ben, and Walt trying to make minor improvements to the island like figuring out a way to get the ghosts off of it (which seems to be the main reason Walt was recruited in the first place to return to the island). There's no real pressing conflict especially since we know that Ben and Hurley survive on-island for a long time. We may get some side-stories with Rose, Bernard, and Vincent, but that's it. No more Locke. No more Jack. No more Desmond (apart from getting him home). Reviving LOST for a Season 7 is just a horrible idea. I'd rather see a reboot of the show before I saw a Season 7.
ReplyDeleteMy votes for reviving shows go to Pushing Daisies (my second favorite show of all time and canceled way before its time) and Reaper (great show, but no conclusion whatsoever).
The writers have already pretty much dismissed those theories though...
ReplyDeleteJericho and Moonlight, if only
ReplyDelete24 and Lost
ReplyDeleteI'm a huge fan of X- files. I would love to see more about the show, but i think that bringing X-Files back to life would be a very bad idea. The last two seasons of the show were the weakest and even if it could be possible it's return, it could not be with David and Gillian and i would refuse to watch X-Files without this two. So, the shows i would love to see return from the dead are MOONLIGHT, with only one season. It's cancelation was so unfair. And LEGEND OF THE SEEKER. This show had a lot of potencial and i still refuse to believe that the main reason it was canceled was because of the low ratings...
ReplyDeleteGreat podcast, really fun to listen to. I have to agree with the CJ about show that reach a natural end and that come back. I would have to choose the X-files over heroes. As heroes had great first season and than rest was terrible ( I gave up somewhere in second season). I personally would bring back Firefly and for second on I have been racking my brain, maybe Friday Night Light or the 4400.
ReplyDeleteVeronica Mars forever.
ReplyDeleteI would say that I am a geek, but an old geek, I would bring back, 'Enterprise' and my favorite group of nerds 'Chuck'
ReplyDeleteBuffy the Vampire Slayer & Angel all the way! I'm a major geek when it comes to those two shows :D
ReplyDeleteUntil a couple of months ago my answer would have been "Arrested development", but that prayer was already answered. Now I'd probably go with Carnivale and Rubicon.
ReplyDelete24 and angel both ending was so laim.
ReplyDeleteoh, I forgot about Deadwood. I´d love to see that back. BUT not at the cost of loosing Timothy O. on Justified. Deadwood had the best dialog ever on a TV show.
ReplyDeleteGood to see I´m not the only one missing Twin Peaks. Even though it has been so many years, TP was the reason I started loving TV shows. So many awesome charaters.
ReplyDeleteVeronica Mars and Firefly
ReplyDeleteCan't argue there. Love me some Justified.
ReplyDeleteI loved Rubicon, but it was just to intelligent for most TV viewers that just want to be entertained but not have to think..which is why "reality" shows are so popular.
ReplyDeleteFirefly and Veronica Mars and coming in a close 3rd Moonlight. Firefly and Moonlight were both just hitting their stride and VM looked very interesting with her going to the FBI.
ReplyDeleteI liked LIfe also and Human Target. Dang and I have already listed 3, this makes 5. LOL
ReplyDeleteWow that was a pretty ignorant thing to say,and an insult to a lot of people.
ReplyDeleteI think it would have to be FarScape and Stargate sg-1.... a close third would be Northern Exposure.
ReplyDeleteFriends (but just for one "what-happend-to-them"-season) and Pushing Daisies
ReplyDeleteDespite loving LOST's finale, I want it back. The history of the Island is massive. Many stories can be fabricated from it.
ReplyDeleteBuffy (we
ReplyDeletestill have another hellmouth in Cleveland) and Heroes (a good Syler? I'd love
to see that. He has a lot to make up for)
Life Unexpexted!
ReplyDeleteYour not the only one... :(
ReplyDeleteWow thanks Andy!! :D
ReplyDeleteEverwood & Charmed, but also Nip Tuck, Jack & Jill, Life Unexpected, redo the ending of Dawson's Creek, Accidently on Purpose, Gary Unmarried, Bleep my Dad says.
ReplyDeleteRight. And also not at the cost of losing Timothy Olyphant on Raising Hope or Kim Dickens on Treme.
ReplyDeleteTimothy O. is on Justified, since I don't watch Raising Hope, is he on that also??
ReplyDeleteangel and the event
ReplyDeleteChuck!
ReplyDeleteI decided to only pick shows that were on for less than 5 seasons.
ReplyDeleteMillennium and Dark Skies
I thought of another one The Invaders,obviously it would need a makeover but if done right it could do well!
ReplyDeleteRubicon was an excellent show. Although I keep forgetting the title.
ReplyDeleteHappy Town and FlashForward.
ReplyDeleteOh yeah, and ReBoot!
Awesome show-- wish it had more of a run as well.
ReplyDeleteI agree and don't think you're comment is "ignorant" at all. I've heard about Rubicon but didn't watch-- everyone who watches the same stuff I do likes it, so I should probably try to get it on DVD (but if it is just going to end and leave me hanging maybe I won't). And reality shows are mostly crap-- I will fully admit to watching the Amazing Race, but I know the drama is completely fake. And the product placement is rampant and shameless.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE LOST but don't want it revived for the reasons you mentioned above. And I don't think I want a reboot, either. It was unique and I'm not sure how even the original creators could ever recapture the intensity or "feel" of the original.
ReplyDeleteI hated the show stopped, but it was worth the time spent and I would still watch even knowing how it ended, so go for it. It reminded me a lot of 3 Days of the Condor movie with Robert Redford.
ReplyDeleteThe ignorant comment did not bother me, just figured the truth hurt. lol
Thanks, I'll check it out.
ReplyDeleteLOST!!!! And Friends.
