hear, hear! - Especially because the promo for the last episode promised us “All your questions will be answered” and instead I had about a thousand more (when I finished screaming at the title card “Sam Beckett never made it home”)

I’ll second both those, and add: More **Dead Like Me**

> As much as I love Arrested Development and would love more of Freakazoid and The Tick, MST3K also gets my vote. It wasn’t like a normal show that had just run its course, although the last lineup wasn’t my favorite, and the show’s writers seem to feel that they were at least as good as ever when it ended.

I’d just like them to rerun it some time when I’ll have time to watch it!

I’ll vote for Police Squad. The movies were good, but the TV series was far better, and just the right length.

More Rocky and Bullwinkle, with up to date satire.

Rocky Jones Space Ranger. Cool looking spaceships!

For books, a 2nd and third sequel tp 2001. 2061 never really happened, 3001 never, never, never happened. And, some more volumes of Tristram Shandy.
