If you could, what would it be? I don’t mean streaming previous seasons. I would choose Picket Fences. It was quirky and had a great cast. ---

This is going back a long way, but I’d always wished that “The Invaders” had gotten one more season. The first season had Vincent fighting the aliens alone. The second season, he had some allies. A third could have had him getting some elements of the government to believe. In fact, the last episode of season 2 had a guy from Justice, I think, convinced. So it would have been a natural progression. More recent: Firefly, of course. (Both of these obviously presume that additional season(s) are magically added at the point of actual cancellation.) Additional choices: Tru Calling, Quantum Leap (“The leaps are going to get harder.”) ---

I’d love to see more of **The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.** (Julius Carry, who played Bowler, has died, but Bruce Campbell would probably agree to participate). ---

I loved that show, and sadly it didn’t get the chance it needed to have. ☹ Of OLD shows, I wish they could do a modern treatment of “Soap!” What they would do with the modern concept of the internet meme would be fantastic… ---
