Television shows they should bring back!

Look at all the recycled crap being brought back -  90210, Dallas, Hawaii Five-O, Charlie's Angels, Mockingbird Lane (The Munsters) - granted, the last two got cancelled pretty damn quickly.

Here's my wishlist:

• Thank God You're Here *
• The Panel *
• The Late Show *
• Talking About Your Generation *
• Father Ted
• The Hour
• North Square
• This Life
• Black Books
• The I.T. Crowd
• Drop the Dead Donkey
• The Name of the Game (How old are you?)
• The Avengers
• The Samurai (the first Japanese show I ever saw)
• Thriller (U.K. early 1970's)
• Kolchak: The Night Stalker
• The Many Loves of Dobie Gillis (ahead of its time - loved the way Dwayne Hickman would talk to the camera - and the dynamite supporting cast - Tuesday Weld, Frank Faylen, Warren Beatty, William Schallert
• The X-Files (My daughter's pick)
• Callan, The Professionals, The Sweeney, The Persuaders (My wife's pick)

Fat chance, but it's nice to look back.

* Australian shows

The A-Z of pop culture (a 56 year old's version)

A  The Armstrong Miller Show, funniest sketch show in the last 10 years.
B  Beautiful People, TV series, another gem.
C   Countdown, Sunday 6pm required viewing for baby boomers in 70's and 80's.
D  Django Unchained, just perfect movie - the KKK scene with Jonah Hill will become a classic.
E   E! channel, home to the best 22 minutes on US TV: Chelsea Lately.
F   Fashion Police (see E).  Also the stylish and funny singer F is for Paloma Faith.
G  Ghost - punchy sea shanty-like song by The Presets.
H  Hitchcock, patchy movie from 2012, a better bio is HBO's The Girl.
 I   IMDB, now what do I do with my old Leonard Maltin MovieGuide?
J   Joy FM, always interesting, less crap commercials, good chat, fun music, an alternative to Triple J. Not only for gay listeners.
K  keepvid.com
L   The Late Show, God I miss it, my daughter can quote sketches from the DVD. Thanks Tony Martin, Mick Molloy, Jason Stephens, Judith Lucy and the Working Dog powerhouse (Tom, Santo, Jane and Rob). 
M  Margaret and David ... best movie couple after "Two on the aisle" with Ivan Hutchinson and Jim Murphy in the 1970's.
N   Nesbo, Jo - Harry Hole series.
O  Off colour and non-PC humour in Family Guy. Seth MacFarlane is an encyclopaedia of media kitsch from last century. Naughty genius.
P   The Project, underrated in more ways than one. Charlie Pickering for PM. Panel has great chemistry - I won't mention S. Price. 
Q  Q, the new one, Ben Whishaw. He is also great in BBC's The Hour.
R   RRR 102.7 FM broadcast a great show on Sunday evening in the mid 80's called EEEK! Thanks Philip Brophy and Bruce Milne.
S      Skyfall, the scene with the old DB5 brought a lump in my throat. (Watch that red button on the gearshift, M).
T   Tennant, Neil (half of The Pet Shop Boys), still going strong.
U  Upside down jet in Flight, fabulous fifteen minute sequence - never to be shown on inflight entertainment.
V  Vampires - Let the right one in, great book, two good movies.
W  wotif.com -but use in conjunction with tripadvisor reviews.
X   pirateproXy.net
Y   Youtube - thanks theblackholebowl and nickfulham for your hard work.
Z   Zero Dark Thirty, okay I was desperate for a "z"
