TV Shows that Died A Premature Death

FRIENDS (1994-2004)
Who wouldn’t like to see the Friends cast on TV again? Not the re-runs, but brand new episodes. While the show’swriters have repeatedly denied the possibility of a reunion, we’re still suckers for dreams. We’d love a new take on an old classic, or at least a movie that shows our favourite characters are dealing with parenthood, marriage and settling down in the suburbs.

LIZZIE MCGUIREB (2001-2004)
Please, Lord, give us back the old Hilary Duff. We want Lizzie to be back for another season with the love of her life, Gordon. We’d like to see her wacky best friend Miranda and her quirky family as part of the show. More importantly, we’d like to see Lizzie become a famous singer.

 

 

 

 

SARABHAI VS SARABHAI (2004-2006)
A snooty mother-in-law, her humorously critical husband, their bechara elder son, his middle-class wife and his younger brother make up South Bombay’s dysfunctional Sarabhai family. We wish to see the younger son all grown up with a snooty wife of his own. Additions to the show along the lines of its first few seasons are also pleasantly welcome.

UGLY BETTY (2006-2010)
Unapologetically funny in its comedic caper, the series told us that it was okay to be yourself no matter who you are. We need more of this show and more of Betty and Daniel as they adjust to their new lives (hopefully together). Good news – some cast members are pushing for a movie!

 

 

DILL MILL GAYE (2007-2010)
Granted that Dil Mil Gaye was not a Grey’s Anatomy-type of medical drama, but there was something inherently likeable about it. Maybe the characters need a fresh new start and possibly a baby? Aww! How cute would that little munchkin be?

 

 

 

 

MAHI WAY (2010)
This heartwarming comedy about a plump girl going through weight, love life, over-bearing family and unforgiving magazine job issues needs a second season. It could feature Mahi and her former best friend, or present love interest Shiv and her new life as a… magazine editor?
