If you could choose one TV show, past or present, to "fix", what would you choose, and what specific change, or changes, would you make to improve it ??  SAVE FERRIS |

Id probably fix two james purefroy shows. Hap and Leonard should've and could've been a deconstruction of genre tropes and and the following which should've been a perturbing trip down the rabbithole of psychological horror.

Hell On Wheels. Don't have them kill off 95% of the original cast.

Highlander. Scrap all the plans from the end of season 5 on, don't kill Richie, don't try out half a dozen Raven potentials, no red eyed demons, instead, expand on the walks of life people hundreds of years old could come from and involve more recent histories, flashbacks to Immortals in and fighting against the Ku Klux Klan, in Vietnam, make the villain of the week an Immortal child abuser - definitely no gray area of morals for MacLeod to ponder there, have an Immortal homicide cop who amidst his everyday work has to cover the tracks of Immortal decapitations from his fellow officers, etc., and, MORE Horsemen episodes.

If you could choose one tv show, past or present, to "fix", what would you choose, and what specific changes would you make/have made to improve it ?? SAVE FERRISOf course it's been over 5 years since I have watched this particular show but since then I always wanted a much different and happier ending for the main character  . Instead of the desolate & lonely ending for Merlin   . I was so hoping for Merlin to be with the character Freya . Also to somehow find a way to lift the curse that was put upon her before . Then to marry her and have a wonderful life together after that . These two characters seemed so right for each other and I think the Merlin & Freya characters were truly robbed of that   . All of this IMPO of course   . Thanks so much msdemos for your subject post  . |

I would change the bloody stupid ending! Plus I would have Starbuck and Lee get together. That would be perfect. |

Scream. I'd have the killers planned from the start, rather than making it up as I go along. There would be more death scenes, less tween soap opera. And I'd pay Roger Jackson and the people who own the original Scream costume whatever they were asking because the replacements weren't cutting it.

Planning the killers from the start is highly irrelevant. The death toll could be higher but that's not very important since there's enough people being killed and it is not tween soap opera at all. The replacements (about the costumes) were perfectly cutting it. |

Tell that to Agathie Christie. There were like 5 episodes straight in season 2 without a single kill. Of course, a slasher slashing people in a slasher isn't as important as...who's gonna win Miss Lakewood?! |

Babylon 5. Recast the Jeffrey Sinclair character with someone who can actually act.

Is that the best you've managed to come up with? Talk about a major epic failure. You memory must be defective because there were not like 5 episodes without a single kill, kiddo. Watch again and pay attention, if you can't remember correctly. Also, since witty comebacks and sarcasm are obviously not your forte, you seriously should avoid using either one again. |

Oh yeah, it was three episodes without a single kill and then someone died (offscreen) at the very end of the fourth one. Big difference. I guess the riveting "Emma argues with her various love interests" scenes made the stretch feel even longer. So riveting in fact that they reduced the episodes of Season 3 and rebooted everything with a different cast...you did tell me to talk about "major epic failures", right? |

Also, Emma never had any "various love interests" so there was no arguing or stretches related to any such scenes to make them longer. And that is not why they reduced the number of episode for season 3 or rebooted "everything" with a different cast. They simply got a brand new cast, with brand new storylines. And no, I never told you to talk about "major epic failures", dummy. Besides, the correct term would be major epic failures. Again... avoid trying to use, in vain, witty comebacks and sarcasm, since they're not your forte and you suck awfully at both. |

Season 2 episodes 4, 5, and 6 have no deaths, then Branson dies offscreen at the end of 7. Get it now? And aww, you think the episodes being split in half and the cast and showrunners being fired had nothing to do with the show sucking. Adorable. |

Nice try but yet another complete failure on your part. You're dead wrong and way off base. Watch season 2 again, dum dum, and this, do pay attention. But of course, judging by how obtuse you are, you'll fail once again to realize why you're wrong. The season being split in half as nothing to do with the show supposedly "sucking", same thing goes for the change of cast. If it really sucked, even half as much as you wrongly think it does, the series would have been cancelled altogether. One more time: avoid trying to use, in vain, witty comebacks and sarcasm, since they're not your forte and you suck awfully at both. The more you try, the more you embarrass yourself. Stop being so whiny and pathetic.

Who dies in episodes 4-6 then? Season 2 ended on a cliffhanger with about a dozen unanswered questions. They were obviously banking on continuing that slogging storyline in season 3. But since no one watched season 2 and they don't care about the dedicated tween fans of the show like yourself, they went full reboot. It's their last desperate attempt at making the show work. First season sucked so they replaced the showrunner, second season sucked harder so they replaced everyone. |

The Walking Dead....It was never stellar drama, but used to be kind of edgy and exciting. It's gotten really boring and tedious the last couple of seasons, (some would say longer than that).
Lost....I would have went with season 5's ending, or completely redo season 6.

First season sucked so they replaced the showrunner, second season sucked harder so they replaced everyone. It did not end on an actual "cliffhanger" and certainly with a dozen unanswered questions. They were obviously NOT banking on continuing that storyline, which was not "slogging" at all, in season 3. Just because YOU did not watch season 2 does not mean no else did, kiddo. Also, unlike yourself, I'm quite far from being a tween fan, you sad moron. Quite far. And they do care about the fans, as often demonstrated in their live FB videos and various social events. The reboot has got nothing to do with any alleged "last desperate attempt" at the show work since it is already working. First season did not suck at all, it rocked. The showrunner was replaced for a more disturbing reason than the one you wrongly believe. Second season did not suck either. Your stupid theories are just as ridiculous, pathetic, shallow & insipid as you are, kid. If you dislike the show so much, just stop watching and move on to something else. After all, no one is forcing you to watch it, right? So stop bitching & whining and find something else to watch if you hate the series. |

I'd fix Friends by ending it with season 7 or even earlier at season 5. Would I continue, I would not have Rachel get pregnant or put in the Joey/Rachel romance or have Phoebe end up with Mike.
I'd fix Buffy by having it end season 3. Would I continue, I would've ended it at season 5. I would not bring in the character of Dawn, make Willow a lesbian (as opposed to bisexual) and not kill off Buffy's mother. Ugh, and don't even mention the Spuffy rape nonsense and the awful Potentials! I would also have kept the tone of the first three seasons.
I'd fix BH 90210 by not retconning Dylan and Kelly's history to make them "soul mates" (barf!) and I would have all the characters acknowledge that they were the bad guys instead of Brenda. I would also have put a definitive end to Dylan and Kelly's relationship after season 4 and would not have brought in the stupid love triangle involving Brendan.
I'd fix Castle by axing horrible season 8.
I'd fix Models Inc. by either having Carrie saved from sex slavery in South America or completely cutting it from the final episode.
There are much, much more shows I would fix, pretty much every show I ever watched!
