TV Shows That Should Not Be Revived
battlestar-galactica
Battlestar Galactica
While the Syfy reboot had its less-than-interstellar moments (fat Lee, that "What the frak?" finale), the critical and fan fave was a beautifully done series that should be left alone. So say we all.
buffy-the-vampire-slayer
Buffy the Vampire Slayer
We're not saying the series finale was the best. But unless creator Joss Whedon is involved, don't even think about touching this revered property.
charmed
Charmed
After 178 episodes and a pretty significant flash-forward — like, two generations into the future — it's safe to say the Halliwells' bewitching story has been told in full.
chuck
Chuck
Any way you slice it, the open-ended finale is a win for Chuck and Sarah 'shippers: She either remembers him, or she falls in love with him all over again.
dawsons-creek
Dawson's Creek
Joey and Pacey ended up together, Dawson became a successful producer, and Jack was happy with Doug. What more do you need? (Jen alive would be nice, but it's not like a reunion movie can bring her back from the dead.)
everwood
Everwood
Although the family drama was cancelled before its time, it still managed to wrap up its stories in a fulfilling way, complete with happy endings for Ephram/Amy and Andy/Nina.
friday-night-lights
Friday Night Lights
We're with Kyle Chandler — why mess with greatness? (The only thing missing from the series finale was a Riggins/Street scene, but it's OK, we have this.)
friends
Friends
They're still friends. Let's move on.
MATTHEW FOX, JORGE GARCIA, EVANGELINE LILLY
Lost
The final episode was so polarizing, we have no desire to go back there. (Sorry, Jack.)
my-so-called-life
My So-Called Life
One of the reasons the short-lived drama is remembered so fondly is because it never had the chance to be anything other than brilliant.
parks-and-recreation
Parks and Recreation
We left Leslie Knope & Co. living futures so bright, we can't think of any way to improve upon them.
that-70s-show
That '70s Show
If we want more Kelso and Hyde, we'll just watch Netflix's The Ranch.
ugly-betty
Ugly Betty
The title changing to just Betty (and the hint of a possible romance between the titular character and her ex-boss Daniel) was the perfect end note.
