TV Shows you want to come back

Classic Looney Tunes

And classic Popeye too.

That's what I grew up on.

I loved Popeye when I was young.

 

[Zephyrus]

My parents wouldn't let me watch the Three Stooges when I was little because they thought it would make me violent...

 

[Belligerent]

The Wonder Years
Beavis and Butthead

Asshole. I was going to say Wonder Years.
Well how about Get A Life w/ Chris Elliott.
Also Tough Crowd w/ Colin Quinn
Howard Stern on E!

 

[AchrisK]

I loved Popeye when I was young.

Dude, we was hilarious; always muttering things under his breath, and how he would sometimes say "wham" when he would punch someone/something.

I wish Twin Peaks wasn't fucked with and tweaked by the network all throughout it's second season so there could be more closure, but at the same time we would've never gotten the amazing final episode.

Arrested Development should have never gotten canceled, and fuck the brain-dead American public.

Ren and Stimpy with John K? DEFINITELY. Every time I see a rerun and recognize Billy West's dumbass voice on Ren, I turn it off.

Rocko's Modern Life was BRILLIANT. Meditations on consumerism, what constitutes artistic achievement and poverty for KIDS? Sometimes on the cesspool that is children's television, a gem will appear.

Seinfeld shouldn't come back, but damn was it ever the sitcom to end all sitcoms. It was an anti-sitcom really, the jokes and situations all being far too high level in terms of usual shit that makes it onto network television. Example: Kramer thinking a guy looks like Salman Rushdie at the gym, in the sauna asking him his name, to which he gets the aggrevated reply: "salBASS." Kramer thinks it is Salman, and tells Jerry that he probably covers it up with Bass due to people mispronouncing his name as Salmon, though since it's not Salman Rushdie, the guy must be mistaken for him a lot."

Now this is funny on multiple levels, as Kramer's neurotic insanity continuously makes his speculations on the matter funny. But let's analyze this entire joke here: Does the average sitcom viewer even KNOW who Salman Rushdie is? Or why "Salbass" would be a signal for one to spit out their drink laughing? No, they'd probably just be stupefied into laughter by Michael Richard's over the top performance (which they should be, I am constantly ), which would keep them watching.

That's pretty much the show in a nutshell. It somehow found a sort of impossible to reach level where it could satisfy both fans of complex, smart comedy and slap-stick/screwball sorts. Really, a brilliant show.

New series coming in January. Which is your favourite season?

Season 1 still I think. Season 2 was good but took a long time to set up and get up to steam (resulting in most of the actual police work being done in a 3 minute montage scene in episode 10 or something). Season 3 was pretty good but the whole political angle was kind of boring to me and the ending made me sad because the character who died near the end was probably my favourite character on the show (I won't spoil it incase anyone else is still going to watch it I guess). Season 4 was also pretty good but the school angle was kind of boring in that one and Marlow's crew just isn't as interesting as Barksdale's (though Snoop and Chris were fun).

Despite some flaws it's still a fanatastic police show though (which coming from me can be considered a big compliment because I generally dislike most police/crime shows).

Also more NewsRadio would be good if they somehow managed to bring Phil Hartman back from the dead..

John Lovitz was such a horrible replacement for him. That guy is beyond irritating.

I never knew what the big deal with Arrested Development was. I mean, it had its moments but never really clicked with me.

I reckon it's a fantastic show and I more or less agree with your assessment of each season, but overall, I think I like the fourth season the best. It was really interesting seeing how the four main kids changed over the course of the episodes. Apparently the focus of the new series is going to be on the media. And I'd agree with you about Barksdale's crew being more intersesting than Marlow's. I didn't realise until the end of the season that Snoop was female!

I hate how Cartoon Network doesn't air Looney Tunes anymore.
