Can only image the talent of the writers you'd need to create a script that can combine sci-fi genres successfully, with I'm sure a few other non sci-fi characters. Capt Picard meets the fith element and has a drink at quarks, lol. @Nathan – Love the idea.

Showed that fans can really help bring back a great TV Show. I don't know if it is to late to post, but the fans of South of Nowhere (myself included) have just started campaign to bring the show back. They have started sending compasses and have many other campaigns in store. Have recentley sent over 50,000 compasses last week alone. The campaign is only in it's second week and shows no plans of stopping anytime soon. If you want more information go to savespashley.com to help save this TV show that shows a realistic prespective on teenage life. Hmm, I really liked looking at this list.

I think Carson Beckett from Stargate Atlantis would top that one! You should make a list of the top five campaigns to bring back tv show characters.

I loved Journey Man the show was just getting in the meat of the character. There was so many things they could have done with the show Damn. I don't even know what to say about the NBC they have just lost a new fan REAL TALK. I don't even know what to say about the 4400 all I can do is Cry. WTF man I am so so going crazy right now.

It was just finding its stride with Tom Selleck as the new owner of the Montecito, A.J. "Cooper" Cooper, and Camille Guaty's Piper Nielson was just starting to actually contribute to the show (I thought she was pretty annoying when she started, but she grew on me). And with the big butt cliffhanger ending to the final episode of the season, with Delinda bleeding and going into labor and someone trying to strong arm the Montecito away from Cooper, now we may never know what happened. Did Delinda have the baby? Did Cooper lose the casino? What a bunch of hooey. NBC just decides to cancel the whole thing. No half season of six episodes or something, no TV movie wrap up to tie up the loose ends and end the show on a high, proper note. Again, it's a bunch of hooey. What exactly is NBC going to fill in the air time with? "quarterlife"? Another Dateline? "Knight Rider"? Well, apparently the diehard fans of the show have taken a page out of the "Jericho" return and have started up a letter writing campaign to get NBC to change its mind. At the least, all the fans really want is a proper wrap up, a two hour movie event type of deal. What's wrong with doing that? Check out http://lasvegas-theseries.com/ for all of the pertinent details concerning the campaign. It worked for "Jericho," why not "Las Vegas"? Save "Las Vegas"!

On the one hand, I am glad <i>Jericho</i> is back: I think it genuinely has a story left to tell, and its relatively low ratings were a result of its poor handling by CBS. On the other hand, some of these other shows that I really enjoyed ended up overstaying their welcome and jumping the shark. Case in point: your VM season 3 example. (And, Lordy, what a disappointment that was.) Same problem with <i>The 4400</i> and (apparently) <i>FNL</i>. I never gave the time of day to <i>Journeyman</i>, because really--while it might have been a decent show--on its best day it so clearly was not half as good as some of these other shows on their worst days. And my limited TV-watching time is valuable, yo. So, I agree with your point: (in my words,) I'd rather have less time with a Good Thing than have more time with the Good Thing and have to watch it go bad. I don’t disagree with you, Jay.
