Which sitcom should be revived

There was an excellent American sitcom called 'Sons and Daughter' which was cancelled before the end of it's first season in 2006 despite being really funny. Even if it couldn't be revived they could at least show the missing episode(s) :(

A remake of Butterflies would be really good- Nicholas Lyndhurst could play the father :eek: :D
 
There's a million directions it could go in. the ensemble characters are so strong and well liked that you could do episodes with all of them, it's a little unfortunate it's called Gavin and Stacey cos it's a very well balanced show and the title alone maybe stifles the directions they could take it feeling they have to concentrate onthe Gaivn and Stacey relationship which i admit is a bit one dimensional.
 
The origins of this feud are a little obscure - the best version I've heard is that when Bolam heard his wife was expecting he was so surprised he drove his car off the road - and he was furious when Bewes then told people about it:D They are said to have never spoken since.
 
Another vote for The New Statesman, I saw the theatre version they did in 2006, where it was said that B'stard created New Labour and let me tell you they could have easily put that on Television and it still would have been funny, if not funnier.
 
Absolutely Fabulous
Only Fools and Horses
One Foot In The Grave
Spaced
The High Life
15 Stories High

Actually, there's tons....but I can't think of them right now!
 
I love - On the buses and always will - great stuff! - scripwriters of today with their utter bilge could learn a thing or two.
I will admit though the ones that Blakey and Jack wrote were a bit crap.
 
None should be revived. They should have enough writers to put some imagination in their comedies. The really good ones are fine as they are and can't really be improved on. The rest, Why bother? They never get shown again either because of actor's vetoes or other reasons, so why remake them.
 
Blackadder would need to be spectacularly-written to tread water. I would love to see Edmund as a reluctant Drake-era slave-trader, but you'd have to fight to get it greened without any shoehorned PC. And of course it would be very near Blackadder II, which has already used up a lot of relevant satire.

Sean Lock said he ran out of material for 15 Storeys. The most fervent fan wouldn't have wanted a poor third series. But after eight years away, maybe the creative juices are flowing again? (I'd be happy to see Benny Wong in Ideal. Sean's had his go!)
 
Black Adder, Most Deffo weren't there rumours about it being set in the 70`s as a rock band, They would have trouble with Hugh Laurie getting on-board, but I am sure they could use Tony Robinson, Stephen Fry, Tim McInnerny, it would all depend on Rowan Atkinson I suppose.


Red Dwarf!!! PLEASE SOMEONE DO IT!!! We all know the cast is up for it, and the audience is here for it so whats stopping it???


Spaced I would love to see again..But Simon Pegg being a movie star now and that fact I think he wants to leave it where it is in classic perfection means this will never ever happen.
