11 Shows That Should Be Revived By Netflix

Some great shows were cancelled way too early – let's have Netflix give them a new home.

11 Shows That Should Be Revived By Netflix

Between the “Gilmore Girls” reboot and the “Full House” spin-off, our childhood is returning to us, and it’s all thanks to good ol' Netflix (and no thanks to chill). In case they’re looking for more content to work with. Here are 11 other great shows that Netflix should consider reviving.

1. “Freaks and Geeks”

This sounds like an obvious choice, but after only one season from 1999-2000, “Freaks and Geeks” continues to be a cult classic today. The show’s executive producer, Judd Apatow, teased the possibility, so maybe someone at Netflix should give him a call. If not, there are always the original episodes.

2. “Hellcats”

Maybe it was just a guilty pleasure, but this show was awesome and had so many questions that needed to be answered after that season/series finale. Does Marti meet her father? What about her relationship with her law professor – how long was that going to last? One season was not enough.

3. “Invader Zim”

The reasoning behind Nickelodeon execs cancelling “Invader Zim” was a load of crap, and it was way too early for the show. Yeah, we have the comics now, but it’s not the same as the classic TV show we grew up with. We want more episodes! Netflix can work something out.

4. “Chasing Life”

This is a more recent show, as it was cancelled only a few months ago. But some people were very upset over the show’s somewhat surprising cancellation, and Netflix should take advantage of that, since they’re always chasing good source material. Just so we can see what happens in Italy.

5. “Firefly”

It’s been years since this show aired, but that doesn’t make it any less popular. While it may not have worked out so well in its initial run, “Firefly” would add something new to the Netflix lineup, and bring a ton of obsessed fans with it. At least air the remaining episodes.

6. “Undeclared”

This one may require some recasting (due to aging), but the original series is already airing on Netflix, so they might as well run with it. Executive producer Judd Apatow even had parts of a second season planned out, so Netflix has at least something to work with moving forward.

7. “Don’t Trust the B---- in Apartment 23”

This was a funny show, especially about living with roommates. With a great cast of characters (especially the obnoxious James Van Der Beek) and plenty of storylines and other material to be explored, this show would definitely be worth picking up for Netflix. I would trust Netflix with this one.

8. “Red Band Society”

This was another show that, despite its low ratings, people were upset over when Fox pulled the plug. Many people petitioned to try and save the show, so they would probably flock to Netflix if it was continued there.

9. “Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles”

Who doesn’t love the “Terminator” movies? This was a great spin-off series with a lot of potential, hence its high ratings in its first year on the air. Yet it wasn’t renewed for season three – good job Fox. Netflix could be the reason for the third season.

10. “Ugly Betty”

This revival would work more like the “Gilmore Girls” one – an update to see where everyone is and what they’re doing now. Where is Betty working now? Is she running her own magazine? Is she still considered ugly? And what became of Mode after most of the main characters left it?

11. “Summerland”

This show had a rather abrupt ending. Like “Gilmore Girls,” this show was also part of the beginnings of a popular Hollywood actor (Zac Efron). While Efron likely wouldn’t be able to join the reboot due to other projects, they could still make half a season to tie those loose ends.

Whatever type of continuations they are – additional episodes, spin-offs, reboots, reunions – all of these awesome shows deserve to be picked up again. We, the fans, want more in whatever capacity. That’s where Netflix comes in.

The ball’s in your court, Netflix. “Gilmore Girls” is a good start – now keep going.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
