I really liked Fran Drescher's newest show "Happily Divorced" and I was majorly P.O.'d that it was cancelled after just two seasons.

I agree with you on Batman. I would have love to have seen more villian team ups. Shame and Ma Parker and The Penguin and Mr.Freeze would have been cool.

lt would have been great to see origin story flashbacks for all of the key TV characters (Batman, Robin, Joker, Penguin, Riddler, Catwoman) in the house style. That would have been worth a season 4.

Also some of the great comic book villains were never used: Two-Face, Scarecrow, Poison Ivy...

I Dream of Jeannie. They got married in season 5 to boost sagging ratings. Naturally with a sixth season Jeannie would be 'with child' which would've been interesting.

Three's A Crowd. The pitch for season 2 would be Jack and Vicky would get married after all. Give them an unexpected child shortly after and change-up dynamics a bit.

Soap, WKRP and Evening Shade should've had 4th seasons.

LA to Vegas
The Loop
Happy Family (John Larroquette and Christine Baranski)
AUSA
The Cool Kids
Buffalo Bill
Payne
The Grinder
The Class
Carmichael Show
Man With A Plan
Less Than Perfect
Crowded
Lotsa Luck
CPO Sharkey
Bionic Woman (1976)
Wonder Woman
The Charmings
Tales of the Gold Monkey
Phenom (Judith Light and William deVane)

Perfect Strangers (a full final season instead of six episodes)

Flamingo Road. Sexy sudser shoulda been right up there with dallas and dynasty.

I second this. It would've been great to see Larry and Balki as parents while Mary-Anne and Jennifer continued on with their flight attendant jobs.

God bless you always!!!

How can you all not have Gilligan's Island on your list?? Season 4 would've been EPIC!

One of the episodes Sherwood Schwartz already wrote was "The Incredible Shrinking Gilligan"!

I agree with you about Payne.

Brooklyn Bridge and AfterMash are 2 that come to mind. AfterMash was no Mash but was still pretty good.

Had they known what a big hit it would be in reruns they would have kept it running for 10 years.

I agree with you on that. It really wasn't that bad but everybody else hated it.
