Firefly for definite, but Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles has a special place in my sci-fi heart. Sure the second series wasn't really up to scratch, but its first season was absolutely brilliant. Would love to see a third.

Also, it had the second best John Connor of the franchise IMO, second only to Edward Furlong (T2).

I would bring back Alcatraz, The Event, FlashForward and Heroes purely for the reason to bring better writers on board and do these shows properly, because they were a waste of a great concept. The terrible writing killed these shows. I'd also like for Blade to be brought back, that was a good show from what i remember and I enjoyed watching Blade on a weekly basis but I didn't quite get into the new actor. Maybe recast the lead role.

I've never watched Firefly even though I've heard rave reviews about it from my friends and the Internet. I will get around to watching it eventually. V, never liked the concept and thought it didn't have enough mileage so no to that. And Invasion was piss poor IMO. The others I haven't watched either.

The one I really want to be brought back is The 4400. I'm currently watching that and boy I'm loving it. To me, it's Heroes done right.

IMO The 4400 lost its way when it introduced promicin (??)
It was no longer about the 4400 returnees but half the population that could get abilities. It ended just in time imo

The problem with the 2nd season was that it was too long.
The first season was brilliant and it only had 9 episodes.,,, season 2 could easily have been split into 2 seasons

Still loved it though. I think the writers could amend those problems they had at the end.

There was a lot of...I don't want to say filler because most of it had a purpose or were actually good character episodes, but it certainly could have done with being two 13 episode seasons.

Plus that god-damn cliffhanger. That was awesome

I would most love The Sarah Connor Chronicles and Firefly to come back. I really enjoyed both of them.

The 4400 was pretty good too although it was beginning to loose its way towards the end. Same for V really.

The Blade series could be awesome. They just needed to change the Blade actor IMHO

The others, I actually feel 'meh' about it.

No love for The Eleventh Hour??

Out of the 10 shows listed that is the one that deserved cancellation least. It averaged 12 million viewers

Seriously? none of the above. If a TV company was going to spend money on a scifi series, I'd prefer they spent it on something new - not a show that's already a proven failure.

However, if there was a gun to my head and I had to chjoose one, it would be TSCC, provided that John Connor's participation was minimal. I really don't need a programme about morose teens.

Terminator
That was a great show. It wasn't a show i expected to see last long but it had one more season left in it. Plus i felt Summer Glau has never played a character as brilliantly as she played Cameron.

I voted Firefly - but it looks like I've missed something with Terminator TSSC. I've never seen a single episode of that.

FlashForward
The Event
Quantum Leap
Goodnight Sweetheart
No Ordinary Family
Sliders

(not in that order)

I'd pay a monthly amount to get these shows back

Why hasn't PPV tv bring back been Introduced
So many petitions against cancellations also worldwide rights and tv audiences and the US networks cancel programmes in the back of a percentage point of a ratings survey or diminishing ad revenue.

I would recommend giving it a try. There are still two seasons available and the end of season two ended in a really interesting way.

There should have been a lot more Firefly. No reason why adventures in the same universe couldn't continue at some point.

Terminator deserved a wrap-up series at least.

Never having seen it when on TV, bought the Firefly DVD recently after so many said how good it was.

How glad I did.

Fantastic series, and would love to see it reborn in some way, so Firefly got my vote.

Stargate Universe and Sliders.

V but only if they remade it instead of that poor remake.
