Saw this question over in r/Reddit: “If you could get one more season of a TV show, what show would it be?” | What show(s) would you choose?

The one true answer.

At least we got serenity to kinda tie up lose ends

Yeah, this. It was such an interesting premise, an engaging cast, and really seemed to be going someplace interesting. Would've loved to see it get enough time to find its voice. Even their bottle episode was great fun.

Was gonna say, kids these days don't know the pain of 2000's Fox!

Hi Randall Munroe!

Agreed. This is always my immediate response.

Looks down at tshirt.... Yup

The question really needs to include "other than Firefly" to get other answers. Although, it's much less common than it used to be... I'm getting old.

Shiny!

Came here to say this. The movie helped but not as much as another season.

FIREFLY. PREACH IT @moops

There is nothing really close. Better off Ted is an obvious if distant number 2 for me.

For anyone put off by the fact that it only had two seasons, it is still well worth watching. It was excellent. I would gladly watch two more seasons.

Expanse ended on a good point. We would probably need at least 2 seasons to finish up the final trilogy. If one extra season would be all we got, I'd not want it tbh.

Correct. Such an amazing show!

Me too! So much. At least we have the comics!

It’s been 5,124 days 16 hours, 22 minutes and 54 seconds since viewers were last delighted by the whimsy and brilliance that was embodied by this one little show.

Yes! I started rewatching it recently and although it's not great for bingeing (just imo, there's a lot of repetition when you're watching three episodes in a row), nothing has ever come close to it in style and laughs. And I would never have heard of Kristin Chenoweth without it!

Yeeeeesss, I would love to see more of it!

I almost said none of them, until this comment and remembered how that shows ends. Man what a weird episode to cut it on

One true answer.

The firefly book series is worth checking out

I'm happy to forget the end of we can just move along.

I thought it was still open to a fourth potential season?

Damn... Seth really pulled off something special by focusing on the void left by modern Trek. Interpersonal relationships and philosophy taking the primary conflict focus while the backdrop of the conflicts is "pew pew space battles" really showed how you can still get everyone's rocks off to the pretty lights and colors while giving them something to actually chew on mentally.

Either way, loved the show.

i don't remember the details but The Expanse isn't outright cancelled. they need to wait for some license or something to expire

As a HUGE deadwood fan, i agree. Its probably my overall #1 favorite show of all time. I felt like the movie was Milch calling in before his disease took him completely.

Two great choices

Hell, you could throw a dart at a board populated by Netflix series too.

If you've only watched it on Netflix, there is an episode they trimmed because it was viewed as racist (which is stupid because it was Veridian Dynamics being racist and the show was calling it out). Episode is called Racial Sensitivity and the only way I know of to watch it is to fly the black flag.

Have an upvote. Loved this show and still tell people to watch it. So many brilliant moments from the series and I bring them up to people at work. Sadly missed.

Came here for this

Yes, this show was amazing.

I thought I wanted that, but then I read the rest of the books. I think they stopped at the right place in some ways, because the time jump would be hard to pull off.

Agreed, but I’d rather have Stargate Atlantis have a few more seasons if I had a choice.

this

I probably shouldn't be surprised, but I can't freaking believe that someone has the same two answers as me. We'll get through this, friend.

Yes please!

The season begins with Jon Snow waking up to realize the final season was just a horrible nightmare.

That was a hard one to lose. They left it on a bloody cliffhanger too after all revealing themselves. Such a great show and interesting concept. There's not enough sci fi shows like that anymore.

I think it was made by the same guy who did Stargate.

So, um, kind of a monkey paw situation here...It did get an, ahem, "reboot"...Which was a hybrid live action/CGI show. It's not another season, and that's honestly probably the most disheartening part of it. Like you pulled enough together to do something more Reboot-related and that's where you went with it?

It's just...There. It's not very good, and it's not even so bad it's good either. It's more like a live action Code Lyoko than Reboot tbh, and it can't even get that right.

That used to be one of my favourite shows! That and Beasties. I completely forget how Reboot ended the series though.

And Electrovagrant is right, there was a second show that got made but it wasn't watchable. It didn't seem at all related really, just shared the same name.

Are you sure you saw all of it? Not all the seasons aired in the US. What was the cliffhanger you remember seeing?

That's the one I chose. What really sucks is they asked if they would be picked up for another season and chose to do the cliffhanger because the producers thought they were coming back for a fifth and final season then were dropped during the summer.

This is a great answer, but honestly, it deserves much more than one additional season!

SGU would definitely be my answer. You couldn't ask for a better show to do it with either, because of the way it ended it would be easy to have had problems with stasis to explain why some of the actors didn't come back or even the aging of all the ones who do come back. So easy to write around the long time it was off air and still pick up and run with it.

Stargate's one of those fun series where even the original series is less like it needed another season, and more like they needed more of some of their existing seasons to let the stories really go where they had (mostly) wanted without the kinda rushed spots here & there.

Eh...the last season was really weak IMO. The wheels fell off once Troy left and I think the meme of "six seasons and a movie" willed that final season into existence.

There's a 2-part miniseries released after that called Farscape: The Peacekeeper Wars you should really watch.

Damn I'm watching it on YouTube for the first time right now and just started season four. I've heard things about how it ended without a lot of closure but didn't know it was that bad.

Isn't there a movie or something that kind of helps with how it ended? I seem to recall that being brought up.

Could we get that "extra" season to be a complete re-do of the final one, instead? 🤢🤦🏼‍♂️

I'm hoping to see a continuation of the story somewhere. It was so good!

The UK one right? If so then hell yes.

Why is this so low?

I really hope you dont mean that amazon remake travesty.

Final season comic was like one episode's worth of plot, maybe a two parter if we are stretching it.

That's on the back of the incredibly diluted and "quick tie up loose ends" "season" 2. Most of which absolutely tanked in quality of writing, cinematography, and plot pacing. I can understand the plot issues since they were essentially trying to cram multiple planned seasons worth of espionage and subterfuge into 8 episodes, but it just didn't hit the same.

They also kind of wrote themselves into a corner, since the show shifted from the "apocalypse and survival" aspects of post nuclear war into the "government spook and his mission to prove the new government as illegitimate" plot that the second season mostly focused on.

All of the characters that used to be significant to the main issues like Dale and Stanley suddenly became "B" plotters as the "A" plot is exclusively in the purview of Jake and Hawkins. This could be argued was also just a side effect of the second season immediately solving the conflict that was set up during the last half dozen episodes of season 1, but who knows.

Yes, could have another season of ENT

I need more Veridian Dynamics.

Also, casting Linda as Ted Lasso's wife and having her say "Ted" was one of the most jarring experiences I've had watching TV. All suspension of reality was completely broken.

New blood?

No Caprica?

I second gravity falls. It’s a great show if you haven’t watched it

The VM of the original series or the VM of the movies and reboot? I think her character changes so much and I'm not sure i would want to follow her down her new, dark path.

OK, who am I kidding, I would totally watch another season.

Reading this made me look it up. Final Space was more than a one season show?? Guess I have some catching up to do.

If you missed it, Olan got a deal to put out a hardback graphic novel tying up the show, called Final Space Ends. Upside: a real ending. Downside: not a show, not available digitally(one of Warner's conditions), and it's $125. Tentatively scheduled to ship late next year.

This is my answer as well, I loved the show so much and want it to get a proper ending.

Wow came here to say this, wouldn't even expect many on Reddit to remember with it 800m users let alone in this brave new world

Yup. Great show, left hanging. Dang you ABC.

Yeah, the Limitless TV show was so good and it was such a shame they canceled it... I liked Hannibal a lot but I don't get why you would want one more season. To me the ending was good (I won't get into details, I don't want to spoil it for anyone)

I loved the original version so much more than the movie version of the timeline. Gimme more show

I adored season 1, couldn't get into season 2, no matter how hard I tried.

More of the cyberpunk cities would have been right up my alley.

The quality drop was significant between season 1 and 2.
