If we're going for really old shows then I nominate The Good Life

Wasn't there meant to be a reboot in the works? This would also get around the destruction of the Liberator, as mentioned by Mark.

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

And I'm always torn between wanted to see more of things like Breaking Bad and The Wire but then wanting to leave it alone as it was.

I have heard of this website, and I've even used it a couple of times, but I am at work, and don't always have the time to go searching...

Also, that link is, like, two years old! ;)

That was 2013. Last I heard, it was all mothballed again.

I expect if I watch B7 again, it will seem horribly dated. I doubt it has survived the passage of time well.

Fun fact: Matt Irvine used to do talks at the art school I did my degree on. I was roped into setting up the AV gear because there were no technicians available, and I had a reputation for knowing stuff like that. I asked if I could sit in on the talk, and was told that I was on the wrong course, so couldn't. Fellow model maker students were annoyed by this denial and tried to get me in, but to no avail. Through the door, I could see pictures of the Liberator. It was literally 5 paces from my working space.

Space Above and Beyond - s fair to middling space marine affair. Could do well with a reboot in the post Galactica void.

Millennium - the X Files' little sister, with Lance Henriksen as a former FBI profiler who specialised in fairly grisly cases. They wrapped his story up in an X Files episode, but really so felt they had more to tell.

Similar vein, but more light hearted: The Lone Gunmen. Did they die? We all thought they did, but they are in the new X Files series.

Did the Gunmen get their own show? There was always talk of it but my memory's hazy. I'm pretty sure they appeared in the comics.

Yes, lasted about six episodes IIRC. I think they may possibly have all died at the end, although it was off screen so who knows?

They certainly did have a series on their own. The first episode I’ve never seen because it involved an aeroplane crashing into a building. The BBC didn’t show it because it was going to be transmitted around the time of 9/11. Some said it was rather prophetic.

The did end the series on a cliff hanger - trying to break into a building with their faces covered in dots to fool face recognition CCTV. However, a second series wasn’t picked up. Their last X File appearance was in an exposed in the 9th season which tied up the loose ends and, yes, the died saving the world from a nasty plague. They were buried in Arlington cemetery.

OR SO WE THOUGHT - with any series like this, there is always a get out clause.

I wouldn't have minded seeing more episodes of Roughnecks: Starship Troopers Chronicles. It all came to a very sudden end and more episodes were ready to go.
