10 TV Shows That Need To Make A Comeback

2016 has definitely been the year of the remake. Not only did Full House make a huge return on Netflix, but the Gilmore Girls nearly broke the internet with news of their revival. Raven-Symone even shared big news this year about her departure from The View to work on a remake of That’s So Raven. In the spirit of nostalgia, check out these TV shows that we’d love to see revived, remade, or rebooted.

1. The Wire (2002-2008)

The gritty series had such a loyal audience over the years that it gained more fans even after the show had wrapped. A revival of The Wire would give this generation of binge-watchers a new show and cast to obsess over.

2. Friends (1994-2004)

To be honest, ever since Friends ended in 2004, we’ve all wanted to see Chandler, Ross, Rachel, Monica, Phoebe and Joey back on our TV screens again. A revival of the hit series may make it the most popular show on television once again.

3. The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air (1990-1996)

The hit ’90s show told the story of a street-smart teen from West Philadelphia whose mom sends him to live with his conservative relatives in Bel-Air, California. Imagine a 2017 remake of the show starring Jaden Smith with Will Smith as director/producer. Epic!

4. Moesha (1996-2001)

The series focused on the life of a middle class African-American family through the eyes of a typical yet creative girl named Moesha. In this day and age when Black women are fighting to prove their worth in society, a Moesha remake would be good for the soul.

5. Martin (1992-1997)

The hit sitcom changed the game for Black comedy. A quick revival of the series, following the lives of Martin, Gina & friends and what they’re up to now, would be a great moment in TV history. It would also give fans closure after the death of cast member Tommy Ford.

6. Dawson’s Creek (1998-2003)

The show was part of a new wave of teen-themed movies and television shows in the late 1990s and catapulted most of its cast members to superstardom. A remake of the coming-of-age show following the children of Dawson, Joey and the rest of the cast would be great for a new generation of teens to experience.

7. Buffy The Vampire Slayer (1997-2003)

Before the Twilight films sparked pandemonium around the world, Buffy was a badass young woman chosen by fate to battle vampires and other evil forces. Although “Angel” was a Buffy spin-off, seeing a woman fight evil in 2016 (no, not like Hilary Clinton) is just what this society needs.

9. Sex and the City (1998-2004)

The HBO series changed the rules surrounding the conversation about sex and women on television. Fans miss the show so much, the creator made two feature films over a decade after the show wrapped. Although The Carrie Diaries was a cute spin-off, catching up with Carrie, Miranda, Charlotte and Samantha in 2017 would be a blast.
