They might reboot these shows in a private network in the future:

Popular
Maybe It's Me
Do Over
Greetings From Tucson
Run Of The House

WB fan, much? I'm not bashing you, I thoroughly enjoyed Do Over. But they aren't going to reboot those. They were short lived, mostly forgotten shows.

These shows should not have been short-lived at all. The tv critics not only discontinued all of them in the wrong time, the tv critics messed all of them for no reason at all. But the worst part is that the tv critics should have paid attention that there were many fans watching those shows.

I always heard that the Jason Bateman comedy he did in the 80's It's Your Move was considered ahead of it's time, it was done by the creators who would go onto develop Married With Children.

And I watched a few episodes on Youtube and I can see a little of the cynicism that would be a trait in MWC in the show, but I read the network at the time didn't want a sitcom in which the teenager always humiliated the adults, they wanted everything hunky dorrey like a family sitcom.

I loved that show, I watched it when it premiered on TV.
