Thought this was an interesting question and I’m sure there’s lots of suggestions out there.
Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?

semblanceto 6 points 3 years ago
I didn't want to see them quickly tied off though, I wanted to see them expand into grand story arcs.
A reboot would be very welcome.
Chocrates 5 points 3 years ago
I am mixed. A reboot would be nice but everyone, myself included would compare it to the nostalgia in our head.
Also I have heard that Whedon is somewhat problematic now. If that is true we would probably want someone with less baggage at the helm :(
Found this that I need to read to see whats up https://www.vulture.com/...
Hopefully he isn't an ass.
Edit: Welp I read that. It is gross. Whedon hasn't commented on it but a whole host of his cast and crew are accusing him of lots of bad stuff including one part where they said he wasn't allowed to be alone with Michelle Trachtenberg when she was 14.
I obviously have no idea if any or all of the accusations are true.

Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would've loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.

For anyone put off by the fact that it only had two seasons, it is still well worth watching. It was excellent. I would gladly watch two more seasons.
teft 4 points 3 years ago
They could finish the series with a final season if you cut out the politics after the time jump. Really just take the last book and maybe a few parts from 7 and 8 and you could make a complete story.
illi 5 points 3 years ago
It could be done some way I'm sure, but I'm not sure if it would be as good as it could. We saw what a rushed final season can do to a show with GoT (extreme example, I know).
I'm still comfused why they included the Weird Dogs story though, it left the show more open ended for apparently no good reason.
teft 1 point 3 years ago
Yeah, including the dogs was unfortunate if they knew they were going to cancel the series. At least we didn't get a Proto-Amos in the TV show. That would have been real hard to walk away from.

Yes! I started rewatching it recently and although it's not great for bingeing (just imo, there's a lot of repetition when you're watching three episodes in a row), nothing has ever come close to it in style and laughs. And I would never have heard of Kristin Chenoweth without it!

I wish the answer here was "Westworld".
That first season was perfect television. And that season finale? My god. I was so excited to watch season 2 and it... just fell short on all fronts. It has its moments, but ultimately failed to measure up to that first season.
Which would have been okay, but then season 3 and 4 happened, and diluted the overall quality of the show to a point where I stopped recommending the show to anyone and just tell them to stick to S1.
I want to live in a timeline where we left off on that S1 ending wondering what could have been.

The Orville. The only show I watched on basic cable at a particular time in ages. Glad they made the jump to hulu, but the 3rd session made me feel like they dumped a couple of seasons worth of plot into it, since they knew they weren't getting another season.
c0mbatbag3l 5 points 3 years ago
I thought it was still open to a fourth potential season?
Damn... Seth really pulled off something special by focusing on the void left by modern Trek. Interpersonal relationships and philosophy taking the primary conflict focus while the backdrop of the conflicts is "pew pew space battles" really showed how you can still get everyone's rocks off to the pretty lights and colors while giving them something to actually chew on mentally.
Either way, loved the show.

The Expanse. The show had a satisfying ending but the books went a bit further into the future and I'd like to see more in the shows.

i don't remember the details but The Expanse isn't outright cancelled. they need to wait for some license or something to expire
CunningLinguist 2 points 3 years ago
My understanding is it’s pretty much canceled. I think it was left a little open, but after the whole Cas Anvar thing it’s pretty much dead. To be fair, the last 3 books would be hard (and expensive) to do right.

If you've only watched it on Netflix, there is an episode they trimmed because it was viewed as racist (which is stupid because it was Veridian Dynamics being racist and the show was calling it out). Episode is called Racial Sensitivity and the only way I know of to watch it is to fly the black flag.
YourHuckleberry 2 points 3 years ago
I'm pretty sure I watched it on a streaming service, and I've seen that episode. The company buys smart lighting that can't see black people, so they hire white people to follow their black employees around.

cashews_win 4 points 3 years ago
That was a hard one to lose. They left it on a bloody cliffhanger too after all revealing themselves. Such a great show and interesting concept. There's not enough sci fi shows like that anymore.
I think it was made by the same guy who did Stargate.
WaxiestSteam69 2 points 3 years ago
That's the one I chose. What really sucks is they asked if they would be picked up for another season and chose to do the cliffhanger because the producers thought they were coming back for a fifth and final season then were dropped during the summer.
7upCoconut 2 points 3 years ago
This is a great answer, but honestly, it deserves much more than one additional season!
WaxiestSteam69 1 point 3 years ago
It did but at lease we could have gotten a conclusion for the cliffhanger.
axellenium 12 points 3 years ago
Reboot, a Canadian CGI kids show about happenings inside a computer, the guardians, the viruses, the web, I used to love that show.
It ended in an intense cliffhanger 😔
ElectroVagrant 6 points 3 years ago
So, um, kind of a monkey paw situation here...It did get an, ahem, "reboot"...Which was a hybrid live action/CGI show. It's not another season, and that's honestly probably the most disheartening part of it. Like you pulled enough together to do something more Reboot-related and that's where you went with it?
It's just...There. It's not very good, and it's not even so bad it's good either. It's more like a live action Code Lyoko than Reboot tbh, and it can't even get that right.
axellenium 3 points 3 years ago
You’re right!, I did watched like 1 episode, I guess it just felt like it wasn’t the old reboot I loved so my mind erased it from my head, also Tony Jay as megabyte left some huge shoes to fill
TskUghPfftUhh 2 points 3 years ago
That used to be one of my favourite shows! That and Beasties. I completely forget how Reboot ended the series though.
And Electrovagrant is right, there was a second show that got made but it wasn't watchable. It didn't seem at all related really, just shared the same name.

Omg yes! I genuinely forgot reboot: guardian code exists, I watched 1 episode and I didn’t liked it at all

Stargate!
SGA - there was a planned season 6 where Atlantis ended up going through time, then to the triangulum galaxy and more time hijinks. Atlantis Vs Atlantis and peace in the Pegasus galaxy. You can find it on the josephmallozi blog as Stargate Atlantis virtual season 6
SGU - had so much potential and season 2 was good. It ended with the crew going into stasis to travel the gap between galaxies...
Leapst 7 points 3 years ago
SGU would definitely be my answer. You couldn't ask for a better show to do it with either, because of the way it ended it would be easy to have had problems with stasis to explain why some of the actors didn't come back or even the aging of all the ones who do come back. So easy to write around the long time it was off air and still pick up and run with it.
ElectroVagrant 3 points 3 years ago
Stargate's one of those fun series where even the original series is less like it needed another season, and more like they needed more of some of their existing seasons to let the stories really go where they had (mostly) wanted without the kinda rushed spots here & there.
johnthebeboptist 10 points 3 years ago
I was gonna say Raised by wolves and Adventure Time, but I see those have gotten the deserved attention so I'm gonna add Kidding. Not because it was left in a bad way, but it was just an amazing show.
...but I mean Raised by wolves just hurts, it was just peaking goddamnit!

DocWurzel 2 points 3 years ago
I like both versions of Veronica. The high school version has the nerdy teenage charm, but the older Veronica is more gritty and flawed. I'd like to see where they could take a new darker season. I do wish that the series hadn't been axed after season 3 though. I've recently been watching The Good Place and Bell is excellent in that.
c0mbatbag3l 2 points 3 years ago
Final season comic was like one episode's worth of plot, maybe a two parter if we are stretching it.
That's on the back of the incredibly diluted and "quick tie up loose ends" "season" 2. Most of which absolutely tanked in quality of writing, cinematography, and plot pacing. I can understand the plot issues since they were essentially trying to cram multiple planned seasons worth of espionage and subterfuge into 8 episodes, but it just didn't hit the same.
They also kind of wrote themselves into a corner, since the show shifted from the "apocalypse and survival" aspects of post nuclear war into the "government spook and his mission to prove the new government as illegitimate" plot that the second season mostly focused on.
All of the characters that used to be significant to the main issues like Dale and Stanley suddenly became "B" plotters as the "A" plot is exclusively in the purview of Jake and Hawkins. This could be argued was also just a side effect of the second season immediately solving the conflict that was set up during the last half dozen episodes of season 1, but who knows.

If you missed it, Olan got a deal to put out a hardback graphic novel tying up the show, called Final Space Ends. Upside: a real ending. Downside: not a show, not available digitally(one of Warner's conditions), and it's $125. Tentatively scheduled to ship late next year.

So realistically it doesn't have an ending, because there is a zero percent chance I will ever pay $125 for it...

Limitless was such a good TV show - funny with great character dynamic. I watched it on Netflix and thought it was a glitch when I got through the last episode of the first season and nothing else came up. It was another victim of CBS chopping decent shows to keep on dreck.
Hannibal and Dead Like Me get mentioned every time this thread is made, but for good reason.
I still can't believe they cancelled Arrested Development after 3 seasons and never made any more.

Pushing Daisies never got the ending it deserved. Everything had to be hastily wrapped up in one entire episode, third season setups were just left as loose ends, and it really didn't do such a great show justice

Gentleman Jack
Awesome stuff
HBO sucks and I hate them (but Band of Brothers was almost perfect, except that it was a little bit too restricted/condensed/reduced).
Black Mirror
'Nuff said.
- Given that this is a collection of stories, and that I started READING stories a lot more recently (currently just finished
Harrison Bergeron- the second story in "Welcome to the Monkeyhouse" written by Kurt Vonnegut. These stories are brilliant ideas put into short form - perfect.
Quantum Leap
- was almost as good, but a little more formulaic - so I'd vote for Black Mirror to take the flag forward for interesting short stories.
Talking about Black Mirror...
The OA
- Going back in history...
Firefly
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles
- Anything of that time with Summer Glau looking incredibly gorgeous. Sure, you know I'm right - even when it's bad, it's just really good.
Scarborough (2019)
- lovely, and took me back to some childhood holidays.
Victoria (2016-19)
- certainly died too early (I love Jenna Coleman).
Tom and Jerry (original style, painted on glass, with no fear of being politically correct or educational).
Pink Panther
I know, they DID do more, a lot more Tom and Jerry - but most of that just sucks and I don't know why people even liked the continuation once the original atmosphere was lost. HD brought nothing to Tom n Jerry for sure.
Pink Panther owes 90% of it's success to bad drawing, amazing music, and sheer atmosphere surrounding mostly not amazing stories if the truth be told... but it worked so well. Hours of endless fun with just one bucket of blue, and another of pink paint... yes, you know what I'm talking about.
I still have a 'random cartoon' habit with Pink Panther/Tom n Jerry
There isn't much room for anything else in there.
I just wish there had been MORE of them.

You know I watched Tron uprising recently and it was pretty solid, I didn't care for the art direction of the character models too much but I really enjoyed how they connected the timelines and made sense of the way the board was set in Legacy.
Good character progression all around. I also really enjoyed how they accurately depicted the stakes of revolution against an authoritarian regime, and demonstrated the sacrifices and people you lose when committing to such action. The only other show I've seen actually engage with the idea that revolution incurs incredible personal cost is "Arcane."
SweetAIBelle 3 points 3 years ago
The Owl House. Though, given that it was cancelled and season 3 compressed to three double length episodes, I'd make the extra season a replacement season 3, and rework those episodes into part of the new season. There were definitely montages in those episodes where you could feel them practically saying "and here's several episodes we could have written, if we had time".
(Not to mention the infamous dialog about "maybe if we had time for 20 more adventures" near the end of season 2...)

I think Breaking Bad left off at a perfect point. El Camino succeeded at something that most sequels don't - adding meaningful closure for something that was left open-ended on the original show, while remaining faithful. Most sequels come off as a desperate money grab, and will invent nonsensical problems while failing to maintain original characterization, dialogue, and overall quality. Enough people wanted a real ending for Jesse, and it was only natural to write a conclusion for him (which imo still maintained Breaking Bad quality.)
justhach 6 points 3 years ago
Its not that season 5 was bad, its just that I feel like its the weakest of the 5. Compared to most TV, its still very good, but when compared to every other season, its just overall weaker, to me at least.
That being said, very big fan of thw Bubbles redemption arc. Left me feeling good inside seeing him get better (even if its just a fictional character).

Amazon has started production on a Stargate series as of now though! There's literally no other information that I can find... for all I know they may continue Universe.
GizmoLion 2 points 3 years ago
Oops! That's the one I meant, actually. The cliffhanger will haunt me for the rest of my life lol.
Also, on a more positive note, there's more Stargate in production via Amazon. Hopefully they knock it out of the park!

Lilyhammer. Or maybe The Last Kingdom.

Rise of the Pink Lady's. J/K, probably Babylon 5?

Wonderfalls. That is all.

Of course, there are the classics: Firefly, Better Off Ted, Hannibal, Carnivale (::shakes fist at the air::).
But I'd love to see the rest of The Nevers. They unveiled the big twist and there are 6 more episodes floating in the ether yet to be aired.
Lockwood & Co. was so perfectly cast. It broke my heart not to get a season 2!
I'd love to see more of "Don't Trust the B... in Apt. 23." Kristen Ritter was so great in that!
And I'd like to see how the relationship in "Selfie" played out, it ended on such a hopeful note. Karen Gillan and John Cho had a weird, quirky chemistry.

NBC's Revolution. I mean we got a comic adaption to wrap up the series, but a third season would be interesting.

The ending sounded so cool. Someone was supposed to walk up to Earl and right a wrong they did to him. It's then Earl finds out he sparked a movement of people going through their lists and making things right for the people in their lists

Sorry is cliché but warrior nun was good and still had story to tell. One.of the reason I cancelled.netflix. I enjoyed Lockwood and co, but knew it would get canned so treated it as limited story and didn't get invested in the cliffhanger or charecters

Salvation (2017-2018)
It wasn't a great series or anything but (spoilers) - ::: spoiler spoiler the asteroid threat turned out to be an alien spaceship :::
and HOW COULD YOU JUST LEAVE THAT CLIFFHANGER UNRESOLVED

Iyashikei Anime (Healing/Feels Good Anime)-
Yuru Camp△/Laid-Back Camp△.
For non-Anime, Amphibia, but like the first season, full of Slice-of-Life, without a lot of plot.

No Offense for sure. Last episode left plenty of room for another season and I'd love to see just that. Fantastic British crime/police procedural show.

Flashforward could have done with a second season. I felt like it was just getting going when it was cancelled.

Night Sky. Finally, something new and amazingly produced. Wtf, Prime?
RightHandOfIkaros 1 point 3 years ago
Heavens Lost Property, by AIC who animated the first two seasons.
The "Eternal My Master" movie didn't follow source material and had a totally different art style. Was not well regarded.

The Watchmen

Pantheon
and worst part is the second season is literally done, but they won't release it for tax write off reasons...

At the beginning of El Camino I'm pretty sure they say he died

We can only speculate. I wish they at least release a graphic novel or something to end the story.
