I miss Arrested Development. I could not understand why people did not get that show. It was so hilarious. There are talks about a movie which I will gladly pay to see.

I love AbFab! I wish it would go on forever. Just got the first 3 seasons on DVD, and I love it!
Also loved:
Firefly - became obsessed with the show after I saw the movie. It was recently on SciFi network and I dvr'd them eps.
Coupling (British version) - Bring Jeff back, he's probably my fav. TV character of all time!
The Office (British Version) - I just want more of it, it's too funny for words.
Black Adder and Faulty Towers crack me up. I loved My So Called Life and am thrilled that you can watch it again on ABC.com

firefly - this show was amazing. i agree with aella, it was never even given a chance because of the retarded tv execs.
Veronica Mars - great show, one of the best tv heroines of recent times. it deserved another season or two, or at least a movie to tie up the loose ends.
Carnivale - bizarre, darkly funny mind-fuck of a show. it also deserved another season to tell its story.
Arrested Development - how on earth did this get cancelled after 3 seasons? are people really so retarded that not enough of them were watching? what happened?
Dream On - early 90s HBO show. surprisingly, from the people that later went on to inflict 'friends' on the world. hardly anyone i know remembers it but it's truly an underrated tv gem.
twin peaks - the tv show was so much better than the movie. i wish they'd done another season instead of it.

How did I forget Dream On? That used to be one of my favorite shows back in the day.

I never have watched a lot of network TV, so my list is short.

Book of Daniel was another great show. Damn fundies ruin everything.

*sniff* Yes, I loved Phil Hartman and quit watching Newsradio after he was foully murdered.
eta: foully is a very strange-looking word.

I loved Freaks and Geeks!
Oh and just for kicks, I want 90210 brought back. Ten years was not long enough!
And I completely agree about Newsradio, I stopped watching after Phil died too.

Some others I'd bring back..
"I'm With Busey"... seriously one of THE funniest shows I've ever seen.
"Growing Pains"
"Grounded For Life" before it got moved to the WB and started sucking
"Brotherly Love"... if only for the nostalgia... I used to watch it every day after school on Disney.
Same goes for "The Torkelsons"/"Almost Home".. classic Disney
"Rocko's Modern Life".. see my avatar? I loved that show... so much hidden humor, too, no wonder I'm a bad adult
"Becker"

Deadwood and Firefly. I was so pissed off when Deadwood was canceled that I canceled HBO.
Also, even if Battlestar Galactica hasn't been canceled, its last season will air this year. I love that it's going out with a bang, but so sad...

I'd be so, so happy if someone would pretty please resurrect Freaks and Geeks, Arrested Development, Firefly, Carnivale, and Rome. All these shows were so addictive and great.
I'd particularly love another season of Rome, even though they probably did cut the historical narrative off at the right point (the end of the transition from republic to imperial dynasty). The men on that show were beyond sexy, the women were delightfully catty and they did an admirable job of capturing the look and "spirit" of the times.

Oh yes, Newsradio!!!! I loved that show (when Phil Hartman was on it). I could have done with more Frasier too, I loved that show.

I liked a show called The Street. Obviously about Wall Street. I think Jennifer Connelly was in it...one of the guys from Hostel, etc. It was on for 5 episodes or something. I liked it.
Also, I loved Titus. Funny as hell. The dad was the best.
The Larry Sanders Show, and the Garry Shandling show.
The X Files.

Witches, hot chicks, and network that really never canceled a thing. Charmed had a huge cult following. If you liked that sort of show, there you go!
I also would bring back the Bernie Mac show.
