I understand they also made a “Highlander 2”. ---

Original broadcast footage of old sports games, particularly Super Bowls I and II. (Lost footage to blame for this one.) (And I know NFL Network does that on and off, but I don’t have it. So there.) ---

> [@LurkMeister](#): > > The SyFy :rolleyes: Channel limit its programming to shows that are actually science fiction in nature (although I wouldn’t object to decent fantasy). Wrestling is _not_ science fiction, nor is paranormal investigation. Classic or camp SF is acceptable, if only for the historical or humorous value; interviews with SF authors would be a nice bonus. In other words, you want the Sci-Fi channel circa the '90s. Sci Fi Buzz, Sci Fi Vortex etc. I miss it too. ---

Seasons 2-4 of Invasion, 3-5 of Legend of the Seeker, 5-6 of Instant Star, a TV movie to wrap up the dangling plots of the unexpectedly cancelled Two Guys and A Girl… And a modern take on **Oedipus Rex** , preferably as a sitcom. Oh, and a show where a woman is impregnated by the forces of evil (think Angel, Charmed) BUT rather than having a magical abortion has the kid and makes the best of raising her evil offspring. ---

> [@Quimby](#): > > In other words, you want the Sci-Fi channel circa the '90s. Sci Fi Buzz, Sci Fi Vortex etc. I miss it too. I only remember it vaguely, because Comcast (or whatever it was then) in Chicago didn’t carry the Sci-Fi channel for quite a few years after it started. I used to call them regularly trying to get them to add it to the lineup, even occasionally pretending that I was considering signing up for cable but claiming I needed to think it over since they didn’t carry Sci-Fi. ---

_Babylon Five_, with the same set of actors from beginning to end. The cast changes forced some awkward re-writes. _Star Wars_, with better writing and directing, and with the same actors playing the roles from Episode I to Episode IX. Another vote for the lost episodes of _Doctor Who_. Also, the lost episodes of _The Avengers_. ---

A Led Zeppelin reunion involving a new album and tour… The Kid can fill in on the drums… The Earth Wind and Fire/Chicago tour involving Peter Cetera and Maurice White… without them its a fraud… I would like to see College Basketball players being able to hit 15-22 foot jump shots with some regularity… and not to pull their jerseys and thump their chest when the SCORE A FREAKIN BASKET!!! And I concur… the end of reality teevee… This Batchelor thing… you have to be kidding me right?? ---

You know what else would be great while i’m asking for stuff is a channel where they show all those cartoons i watched when i was little : Laff-a-Lympics, The Jetsons, Looney Tunes, Thundercats, Pink Panther, YOgi Bear, Tom and Jerry… et al. Some Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs would be good too. I just had to sit and watch TV ith my niece and nephew and god i fucking hate some of the shit that’s on lately. Fanboy and Chumchum, Spongebob, Wonder Pets, Oobi, Max and Ruby, some of this stuff makes me stabbity. ---

I’d settle for another _Buckaroo Bonzai_ movie about anything, really. A Star Trek movie or series that did NOT, in any way, shape or form, at any point in the entire length of it if a series, involve motherfucking TIME TRAVEL!!! A really cool (non- Star Trek) scifi spaceship based series done right by a network that would support it to the end of a 5 to 7 year run. ---

_Star Wars VII through IX,_ exactly as George Lucas conceived them back in the 1970s. Lucas to be held under house arrest with an ankle-bracelet, allowed out only to direct, and kept on a bread-and-water diet, until the final installment goes to DVD.
