What 5 series would you resurrect if you could?
I'm blithely ignoring issues of actors having aged or moved on.
1. Weiss Side B
No contest. The way this manga puttered out and then got dropped with barely a whimper of closure is going to stick in my craw for a good long while. There were so many things I was *hoping* to see that may not have happened, but now it will forever feel like that longed-for arc was *just* around the corner, if only... I'm left without any epic reunion arc (even a temporary one) with Yohji and Omi coming to the forefront. No reveal that everything was some grand conspiracy by Rosenkreuz. Barely a dent in the whole Interleukin-whatever plot that was the whole *point* of the series. No big flashback to "Side A". Argh! Not fair.
2. Magnificent Seven
Obvious choice is obvious.
3. Gabriel Knight
Who ends a *video game* series on a cliffhanger? Seriously. Despite having only three games to their names, Gabe and Grace and the whole schattenjaeger mythos are so amazing, I'd give anything to go back to that well one more time for some closure.
4. Moon Over Miami
Gotta stick a wildcard in here. No one else has even heard of this show, I'm sure. It starred Billy Campbell (*swoon*) and Ally Walker as a bickering-detective duo a la Moonlighting or Remington Steele. The episodes that managed to air were definitely rough around the edges, but the chemistry between the two leads was faboo, and the show had this jazzy quirkiness all its own. It's always the first show I think of when talk turns to late, lamented shows that never got off the ground. So, I'd just *have* to use my godlike powers to revisit it if I could.
5. Firefly
It was actually a toss-up between this and Earth 2, but E2 would've been a nostalgia pick, and I already covered that in #4. There's no question that Firefly deserved a longer life.
Runner-Up: SG:A. I can't say the show ever made it to must-see-TV status for me, but the cast and characters are some of the most likeable and just plain fun-to-watch out there. They got shafted.
