The TV comeback?
Last year, Arrested Development (2003) made its return on Netflix. In November, Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback (2005) made its own comeback, nine years after it was cancelled by HBO. Now we have news that Twin Peaks (1990) will be returning as well, and there have been rumblings about Heroes (2006) doing the same.
Which celebrated but cancelled US show that aired three or less seasons would you most like to see comeback (assuming there would be no scheduling conflicts with current projects or issues with people who are now big stars not returning)?
