Heartbreak High was definitely one of the better teen shows of the day. Way better than Grange Hill, or BH 90210, or most of the other ones I can't remember. Anyone remember Madison? A Canadian Heartbreak High would be the only way to describe it, it was cool.

I've never seen this Dark Skies, but I IMDBd it and Jeri Ryan is in it, so it can't be bad.

Knightmare, which should indeed be brought back. Knightmare was quality. I like the first couple of them then it started getting a bit crap. I loved it when the show was clearly getting too easy so every now and then one of the contestants, for absolutely no reason at all whatsoever would die for some inexplicable reason and the team controlling him would look towards Tregard like "Dude, wtf, he was just walking down a corridor and the ground swallowed him up?!!"

Haha yeah... I used to like it when a team got to a high level and I waited in anticipation at what the next screen would look like. In fact I'm gonna watch some knightmare now. I see they put some episodes on youtube, whoop!

PROGNAM THE SHUD REDO!The only one you guys have mentioned so far that would be worth redoing is Eerie Indiana, and that's only to see how little they'd have to rape it until it became Roswell High. I'd like to see some new X-Fileses, but that'll never happen. Also, someone should make Dark Skies again. They only made one series out of a planned five so they might as well redo the first one from scratch, since half the major cast are either dead or too famous now.

I've never seen this Dark Skies, but I IMDBd it and Jeri Ryan is in it, so it can't be bad. The idea was to do one series per year, each set in a different decade, for five years, so that the show and the real world would get to 2000 at the same time. OK, so it was more or less an X-Files rip off in every other respect, but really, it was way ahead of its time. If they'd made it, say, in 2007 leading up to 2012 it would've fitted really neatly in alongside LOST, Six Feet Under, and every other show with arc plots and a vast sprawling cast. But instead it got cancelled after one series.

Saved By The Bell Fresh Prince of Bel Air Knightmare Tomorrow's World Crystal Maze BBC 1 getting FA Cup coverage back [after ITV's dismal job last season]
They went through a stage of showing lots of classic 60s TV in the early 90s, and the following should come back again for another run-through:
Thunderbirds/Captain Scarlet/Stingray re-runs Randall and Hopkirk [Deceased] - the original not the re-make. The Man From U.N.C.L.E.
also one that they don't need to make any more of but I wish they would show again is the 2001 two part drama Longitude which is excellent, probably one of the best bits of television I've ever seen.
