Recently, Reddit user u/dclancy01 asked, 'If you had the power to revive one TV show for a final season, which would it be, and why?" Based off of the replies, there are A TON of series that deserve a redemption. TV Land
1. Pushing Daisies "It was such a perfect show that can be appreciated at any age. I fell in love with it in fifth grade when it originally aired. I rewatched it recently and love it just as much."
—JohnJoanCusack
ABC / Courtesy Everett Collection 2. My Name is Earl "They canceled that great show on a cliffhanger. They need to have one more season to answer a few important questions."
—Panhead426
NBC /Courtesy Everett Collection 3. The Last Man on Earth "It’s frustrating because they only needed one more season! I recently watched all of it and was so surprised how good it was, despite it being weird to watch during an actual global pandemic."

20th Century Fox Licensing/ Merchandising / Everett Collection 4. Limitless "The show could've totally kept going! It revolved around people taking a brain pill. They could cast anyone to pop a pill."
—Physical-Emu-9901
CBS / Courtesy Everett Collection 5. Santa Clarita Diet "I stumbled on this show years ago when it was first released. It was hilarious, but also the zombie history was interesting, and I really wanted some kind of closure."
—soline
Saeed Adyani / Netflix /Courtesy Everett Collection 6. The Expanse "It needs about three more seasons to touch on the books they haven't covered yet. The Laconia arc is insane!"
—Bigred2989-
Amazon / Courtesy Everett Collection 7. Terriers "I've watched the entire show several times and it's a really criminally-underrated show. The title didn't give much idea to what the show was about and it never found an audience, but it's great!"

FX Networks / Courtesy Everett Collection 8. Carnivàle "The second and, sadly, last season ended on a total cliffhanger and set up perfectly for a third season — WHICH THE CREATOR ACTUALLY INTENDED TO BE THE LAST SEASON, FFS. Yes, clearly I’m still mad at HBO about this, LOL."
—grapesaresour
HBO 9. Legends of Tomorrow "All it needs is just one more season to wrap up everything! Just one more. That's what the fans want. That's what the cast and showrunners want – To tell their story and bow out."
—inksmudgedhands
Bettina Strauss / The CW / Courtesy Everett Collection 10. Heroes "They quit in the middle of a story ark and it was a great series that deserved a proper ending.
Nbc / ©NBC/Courtesy Everett Collection 11. I Am Not Okay with This "It got one season on Netflix and then they cancelled it, as they do. The biggest issue I have with this is that it left off on a massive cliffhanger. Not to mention it’s the first main character I have ever related to on such a deep and personal level."
—NarcolepticBard
Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection 12. Person of Interest "To find out how Harold and the team cope with what happened. Does the A.I. get revenge on those that tried to kill it because they killed 'her' friends?"
—Aaron01031974
CBS / Courtesy Everett Collection 13. Men of a Certain Age "It was a beautiful, well-written drama about lifelong friendship. It starred Ray Romano, Andre Braugher, and Scott Bakula. They cancelled it after two seasons."
—Cannabis_Sir
TNT / Courtesy Everett Collection 14. The Big Bang Theory "Am I the only one who wants to see Penny’s baby? And then watch Penny and Leonard break up for the gazillionth time, then make up?"
—Lottie_girl19
CBS / Courtesy Everett Collection 15. Gilmore Girls "At least just one more Year in the Life so we can find out who's the father of Rory’s baby."
—Ill_Training2560
Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection 16. Colony "I'm sure in the last season humankind would have finally made some sort of contact with the 'enemy of our enemy,' but the series got terminated. I WISH this was based on some sort of book series so I could find out what might have happened."
—MathPerson
USA Networks / Courtesy Everett Collection 17. Glow "It only needed one more season, and they planned for it, but shut it down completely because of COVID...and with no effort to reschedule it."
—DickieJoJo
Ali Goldstein / Netflix / Courtesy Everett Collection 18. The West Wing "It has been my favorite show from the day it premiered and Aaron Sorkin is the best writer of all time."
—mbaruffi
NBC / Courtesy Everett Collection 19. Fleabag "It was such a funny, endearing, and well-written show. I wish I could erase it from my brain and watch it for the first time again!"
—MaryPain666
Luke Varley / Amazon / Courtesy Everett Collection 20. Utopia (UK) "If you don't know what it is, i highly recommend it! Every episode is on YouTube. I just love the soundtrack and unique cinematography. It's just sad that it left on a cliffhanger and never got renewed."
—Tobbetobster
Channel Four / Courtesy Everett Collection 21. Tru Calling "Honestly, it’s been so long I can’t even remember what happened in the last episode. What I do remember is my sister and I being really pissed off that they cancelled the show because they left it on a cliffhanger."
