So, what shows would you wish came back?

For me, this one is an oldie ... Journeyman. To me, this had elements of Quantum Leap but was interesting in the fact that decisions affected the present, like when he dropped a cellphone after saving a family from death from a van teetering off the edge of a cliff then returning to the present time to discover that modern technology had advanced years beyond and he had to go back and fix it, or when his son was born a girl after similar circumstances. Like Quantum Leap, it seemed involuntary, but at the very least he always returned home.

It was also a show that I actually liked Moon Bloodgood's acting. Her wooden disconnected acting actually fit that of a seasoned time traveler.

The show was cancelled because of less than blockbuster ratings and because of the writers' guild strike giving NBC a legal out to let the show's contract expire.

So, what shows would you like to see come back?

From a few years back:

Bionic Woman. I was a fan of the original and I liked NBC's attempt at a reboot. Just like Journeyman the writer's strike and sinking ratings killed it

Life. Was a fan from the start. Charlie Crews wasn't your typical cop and there was nothing wrong with that. Only lasted 2 years but at least he got to solve his wongful imprisonment at the end

From this year:

Undercovers, Chase and Outsourced. Of these 3 I'll miss Outsourced the most. Fun show that didn't take itself seriously despite the political undertones

Pushing Daisies
Network: ABC
22 episodes, 2007-2009

This was a classy, clever, and light-hearted show with enough substance to require careful attention from viewers who value a storyline with more than average depth. Casual viewers would easily miss most of the delicate details, which are essential to fully understand and appreciate this show.
