Quantum Leap.
I don’t think it will happen. Those shows have long passed into the nirvana that is syndication, and the networks don’t have the rights to air them anymore.

Yeh, that’s the thing: either all these shows are already owned by some cable channel or another, even if they never get aired, or else you’d have to dig up thirty and forty-year old contracts and figure out just who would have to sign over permission to air them.
*St. Elsewhere
Twin Peaks
Northern Exposure*
This is a brilliant idea.
Rocky and Bullwinkle!!!
Soap
Maverick

Friday the 13th the series, and wasn’t there a sequel series to this, where people of an ancient order were tracking down malignent artifacts?
Kung Fu and Kung Fu the Legend Continues
The original Battlestar Galatica
Buck Rogers in the 25th Century
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
The Incredible Hulk
Max Headroom
Any of those I’d watch, some of them may be on Nick at Night/TVLand, not sure.
How could I have left out Tales from the Darkside?! :smack:
I’ll second Max Headroom. Tales From The Darkside? I loved it when it was on. In retrospect, having seen a few episodes last a couple/few weeks ago (I don’t remember which channel), not all of them were gems. I’d love to see the ‘The Last Car’ episode again.
I’ll second Get A Life, and add a two shows from the “new” Fox Network. **Herman’s Head ** and Hardball. Both were somewhat maligned (and to be honest, they paled to the Simpsons), but they were both creative, funny shows with great casts. There, I said it.
Pash
Honey West, The Avengers, UFO, Girl from UNCLE.
I’d gladly watch The Dick Van Dyke Show all over again. I’d like to see Mission Impossible, too, with Peter Graves and Martin Landau and NOT Moon Unit Cruise.
I’ll throw in my vote for The Prisoner, Rocky & Bullwinkle, and Time Tunnel. I’d like to see Homefront repeated. It was a WW2 drama broadcast sometime in the early '90s. I could watch thirtysomething again just for laughs.

TV Show:
Alfred Hitchcock Presents
MacGuyver
If we can include miniseries:
Roots
Cosmos
Ken Burns’ “Civil War” (and assorted other documentaries)
The Jack Benny program was well before my time, but recently I’ve been watching a few old clips this one and this one like , and can’t think of anything funnier I’ve seen on real-time TV lately.
Also the Carol Burnett show, but I did watch that as a kid.

You’d think, though, that since the networks are owned by the same companies that own some of these cable channels, there could be some arrangement worked out. There are a lot of series out there, and so I think there’s lots to go around.

I’ll second “Cop Rock”!
The Greatest American Hero.
Lost in Space.
The Mary Tyler Moore Show.
I Spy.
Father Knows Best - I loved these reruns as a kid.
That show from Alaska - I can’t recall the name. Doctor in a small town.
