Which TV show would you like to see return for another season?

Love/Hate
Breaking Bad
Miami Vice

MacGyver with the original theme tune though.

CHiPs was class too, but the one I want to see is The Fall Guy, and not just for Heather Thomas.

Reworked and additional footage for Reeling In The Years

I used to pee myself at the original Tom agus Jerry.

I'd say Glenroe too but sure it'd be nothing without Miley and Dinny.
My father was heartbroken when it ended. They could of course bring back Bracken. Byrne might be up for it too. The sexual tension in that show was shocking. Surprised they never had another spin off show, seeing as Glenroe was a spin-off from Bracken. The were decent shows, certainly when you compare them to anything RTE has done since.

I only really remember the later seasons of Glenroe and they were generally poor. Now the original writer had moved on at this stage. I remember a storyline from around 1995 where a character thinks her husband is having an affair and discovers he likes to stay back at work to play cards on the computer! Another story saw an angry farmer drive to a premises and dump a load of spuds against the door!

A shortlived series called On Home Ground succeeded Glenroe but the idea of a rural soap on a Sunday was ditched after this. Irish drama has excelled in my opinion in recent times with shows such as Love/Hate.

I am not sure how today's audiences would receive a new version of Glenroe. The history of how revived series fared has been overall poor. For example, the new version of Dallas could not last after Larry Hagman died, even though it was in my view quite a good series. A new take on Minder also did not last long on our screens. So would a Glenroe: the Next Generation with the sons and daughters of Biddy & Miley as the main characters fare any better? Probably not. The other problem is that the actors who played Dinny and Miley are dead and the actual Biddy character was killed off. I assume actors like Robert Carrickford are dead too? So, the series may be 99% of new characters and cover the same ground as Fair City. Perhaps Dick Moran and other characters could be there in the background to have some continuity.

Oh don't talk to me about that thing.

Do you that they were actually going to do a few specials with Waterman and Cole and they couldn't make up their mind between that and doing that God awful crap with Shane Ritchie.

Same with Starsky & Hutch. They spent years in talks about doing a new season showing them as cops a few years of retirement and this also was shelved in favour of doing the reboot movie.

At least Auf Wiedersehen Pet gave us a new season of the characters in their later years. Was really good too.

They should have gone with the few specials with Waterman and Cole. That would have been the proper Minder revival. The new series was a pale reboot that I remember watching one episode of and feeling it was a very poor attempt.
