> [@cochrane](#): > > One of the storylines on _Curb Your Enthusiasm_ several seasons ago had Larry David and Jerry Seinfeld working on a _Seinfeld_ reunion show. Michael Richards, Jason Alexander, and Julia Louis-Dreyfus all appeared on the show. The show was to pick up just after Jerry, George, Elaine, and Kramer were released from jail, naturally not having learned a thing from their experience or becoming better persons from it. They were the same self-absorbed people they’d always been. The season finale was an extended (hour-long, I think) episode. I was _really_ hoping they had actually filmed an entire _Seinfeld_ episode that would be presented within the _CYE_ finale. Alas, that was not to be. The couple of scenes we did get were gold, Jerry! Gold! ---

I wish they would revive the Saturday-morning cartoons, particular the ones that had their own toylines. He-Man and the Masters of the Universe. GI Joe: A Real American Hero M.A.S.K. The Transformers Thundercats. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. All animated traditionally,not the CGI overproduced cartoons that look terrible. ---

It would also be fun to see more _Looney Tune_ shorts animated traditionally providing they could find a team to draw and write in the same way as the ones from the 1940s. ---

All in the Family with a conservative and a young liberal meathead going head to head. Many times both learn to mellow their views or realize they might be wrong. Can you imagine a show today where a liberal is ever shown to be wrong? ---

Someone mentioned House. I would have loved a couple more seasons, but there was another Hugh Laurie show that was unique and well written: Chance. Great show with seemingly endless potential and lines it could have explored. I was disappointed when they canceled it only after two seasons. +1 for My Name is Earl as well. Characters make or break a show, and this one had a rich cast of interesting and amusing folks. A fun show. ---

Al my favorites already HAV been rebooted – _Twilight Zone, Outer Limits, Star Trek, The Tick_, even _The Dick Van Dyke Show_ (twice! Kinda) If you want something off-beat, reboot **My World and Welcome To It** ( [My World and Welcome to It - Wikipedia](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/My_World_and_Welcome_to_It) ) . It sort-of adapted several James Thurber stories, with DePatie-Freleng animation of Thurberesque cartoons. Or do something similar with another writer, since the original series exhausted much of the appropriate Thurber material (and _Dave’s World_, based on Dave Barry’s books, isn’t quite the same). ---

We watched the entire run of _The Larry Sanders Show_ a while back. We want moar! Don’t see anyway to do it at all. Without the same cast it couldn’t possibly be the same. So, here’s one: _The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd_. Blair Brown is still working. Recently saw her on _OitNB_ and _Jack Ryan_. It could happen. Many of the other actors on lesser roles are still with us and working. E.g., David Strathairn, John Pankow (Ira from _Mad About You_) and Lewis Freakin’ Black! Sadly the fine couple of Allyn Ann McLerie and George Gaynes have passed. ---

Metalocalypse. Brendon Small wanted to do one last season but Adult Swim pretty much fucked him over. ---

On the one hand, it would be nice to have a reboot of _The Fall Guy_–on the other hand, most of the stunts would involve standing in front of a green screen in a unitard covered with ping-pong balls, which kind of lacks the machismo of the original. ---

Gunsmoke We’re long overdue for a great tv Western. Update it & add some minority characters. Tone down the gunfights, a little. Maybe Matt can punch the bad guy instead. 😉 ---

Maybe Matt can punch the bad guy instead. 😉 I think it’s the perfect time for Matt Dillon to play Marshall Matt Dillon. And I mean that, too, because he’d be really good.
