With the Roseanne revival premiering big on ABC it got me thinking what other older sitcoms could realistically be revived. Some I thought of were...
Cheers - Most of the cast is still around and acting
Friends - I know the cast has been resistant, but if they really wanted to they could do it
Seinfeld - Same situation as Friends
The Nanny - I feel like they could do a good continuation with this show
Married with Children - similar series to Roseanne. Cast is still around and acting
Malcom in the Middle - I believe the cast said they would be interested, and I would love to see Bryan Cranston in a comedy series again

Grace Under Fire was a pretty good show, but I don't know if the cast would be all that eager to reunite after their experiences on the show the first time around.

I'd kind of like to see a Family Matters revival. I think there is a good chance the cast would be up for it too.

I'm not really keen on this whole trend. I mean it's not anything bad, but you can argue that it's unnecessary. Why bother to revive these shows besides to revive fading careers and to make money? I mean if you're a fan I'm sure you'll get some kick out of it, but I don't think you'll be able to relive the past fully.

We'd love to see our favorite shows come back,. Though we'd have to see some people coming out from the woodwork. |

Though not really a sitcom, I think a "Buffy" revival with the original cast could still work. They could at least do a miniseries, like they did with "Gilmore Girls."

I think they should make new sitcoms and not bring back old once.

Cast is still around and acting Malcom in the Middle - I believe the cast said they would be interested, and I would love to see Bryan Cranston in a comedy series again Cheers - sure but do we need to see this? i never liked the show and only liked norm and some of cliff [never realized how cantankerous he was until Carla made fun of him at his retirement party c/o Frasier.] idk. Friends - i think they did the right thing to be resistant. it has a big thing to do with not only cast being willing but also having the storylines M.A.K.E. S.E.N.S.E. Is joey going to still be a womanizer one night stand bit [ish] actor now being a dirty old man? is Ross still a bumbling genius? is Monica still anorexic and neurotic? do monica and chandler have custody of their twins? srsly, they should not have been parents. Seinfeld - i also think they did the right thing to step away when they did. and again, picking up on a storyline a decade or two later, it depends on what you started with. i don't want to see nearing 60 year olds still being bumbling single people navigating the dating scene in nyc. no boutros boutros golly for me. The Nanny - ... may...be... idk. although i miss the show its time has passed. Married with Children - er... no. Malcom in the Middle - idk. i mean, when we left the series Lois was again, pregnant. and they were very upset over it. i only wish all the kids were eventually able to do 'whatever they excelled in or made them happy.' this was apparently not the show's or lois's intent. |

It's all about the money. With the successes of W&G and Roseanne, expect to see more revivals. And if most of the original cast is available, if they're well-written and produced, why not? |

Titus. It was ended prematurely.
All those other series had some fantastic runs.

Frasier is a show I'd love to see comeback. I think they talked about it, but the actor who played the father recently passed away. They said they wouldn’t want to do the show without him. Instead I still think a Cheers rival could work and they can bring Frasier guest stars on. |

Yep, it’s ultimately about money. Broadcast tv is fading and the execs are gonna do whatever they can to keep their network a float. If revivals continue to bring good ratings I would expect more of them. |

I could definitely see a lot of potential materials for TV revivals of Family Matters and Friends if it were to happen. I would also throw in a That's 70s Show revival too (as That 90s/00s Show or somewhere along those lines). I'm not really keen on this whole trend.

A mistake I think. most American sitcoms in particular seem to go on far too long as it is. I have given up on most of them about three seasons before they end. six seasons is about the limit.

I kind of wish the cast of 'The Mary Tyler Moore Show' would get together as a 'reunion' special, maybe taking place 'after Mary's funeral'. If done correctly, it would be a beautiful tribute by her surviving friends Rhoda, Phyllis, Sue Ann, Lou, Murray and Georgette - reuniting in Minneapolis. Maybe even Rhoda's sister Brenda could have joined in as well.
