23 Shows Which Deserve A Revival…Or A Better One

Revivals are in, but some of them aren't the best. In order to help all those network executives and showrunners out there as they start to pitch new show ideas, here's a list of 23 shows that need to be brought back.

1. The Office

I'm looking at you Steve Carell.

2. Friday Night Lights

The world needs more Coach and Tami…and Tim Riggins…and QB 1 Matt Saracen.

3. Boy Meets World

Don't get me wrong, Girl Meets World was a great show, but it was much more immature than the original.

4. My Name Is Earl

Still not over that cliffhanger.

5. Batman

I'm talking about the 1960s series with Adam West. Yes, there's been plenty of installments honoring the best superhero out there, but nothing quite like the original series.

6. New Girl

I don't care if it just ended, I want more.

7. Friends

I will stop asking for a reboot once we get one.

8. Baby Daddy

One of Freeform's better comedies, but gone too soon.

9. Recovery Road

This Freeform show only got one season and I'm still not over it.

10. Red Band Society

Again gone too soon.

11. Firefly

"It was one of the best sci-fi ever made." - My Father

12. The West Wing

"Nobody beats President Bartlet." - My Mother

13. One Tree Hill

I've never seen it…but everyone I talked to seemed very passionate about this.

14. Chuck

"Bring back Chuck, everyone loves Chuck." - My Brother

15. Drake and Josh

Imagine a version of Drake and Josh where the humor has grown up with the viewers; you know you want it.

16. The Suite Life of Zack and Cody

After a hiatus, Dylan and Cole are back and I'm loving it.

17. Greek

They got my hopes up with talks of a made-for-TV movie, only to break my heart again when the deal fell through.

18. Psych

One of the best detectives shows out there, well at least according to me.

19. Monk

The first mystery/detective show I fell in love with!

20. Gilmore Girls

A Year in the Life was amazing, but I still want MORE!

21. Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Okay so I just finished binging The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina and I enjoyed it, but it's a 100% new take on the series. It doesn't fill the Sabrina and Harvey sized gap left in my heart. Also, Salem needs to talk again.

22. Seinfeld

So they can fix the ending.

23. How I Met Your Mother

So they can fix the ending.

Summer is hot and humid, and it's almost like summer was made specifically to drink the refreshing, cold, crisp wonderful, delicious, nutritious nectar of the gods. Which is none other than beer; wonderful cold beer. With summer playing peek-a-boo around the corner while we finish up this semester, it's time to discuss the only important part of summer. And if you haven't already guessed, it's beer. There are few things I take more seriously than my beer, in order are: sports... and beer. Here are my favorite summer brews:

New England Summers Are The BEST Summers

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Three years ago, I chose to attend college in Philadelphia, approximately 360 miles away from my small town in New Hampshire. I have learned many valuable lessons away from home, and have thoroughly enjoyed my time spent in Pennsylvania. One thing that my experience has taught me, however, is that it is absolutely impossible to beat a New England summer.

You cannot beat the beach. Believe it or not (which many people may not), New England has a long and beautiful coastline. Most of my high school summers were spent sitting on the Wall at Hampton Beach, getting sunburnt and eating Acai bowls from The Secret Spot. The Wall was the place to be both during the day and at night. We begin our days there with a KB's bagel and coffee, and end them with pizza and ice cream. It’s not a New England summer without that 4 p.m. text from someone, “Who wants to meet at the Wall tonight?” Nighttime is for Tripoli’s Pizza, the sound of waves, and wishes on shooting stars. Wednesday nights are especially important, as those are the nights that Hampton Beach sets off the weekly firework display.

We have outdoor concerts

We live where people vacation

Because let's be honest, we all use lyrics.

1. “Don’t get too close, it’s dark inside. It's where my demons hide.”

2. “Tonight, we are young.”

3. “Cuz I may be bad, but I’m perfectly good at it.”

4. “Tell me how they got that pretty little face on that pretty little frame.”

5. “I can’t wait to fall in love with you, you can’t wait to fall in love with me.”

6. “Sweatpants, hair tied, chillin with no makeup on.”

7. “Why you so obsessed with me?”

8. “We ain’t ever getting older.”

9. “I didn’t know that I was starving until I tasted you.”

10. “Didn’t they tell you I’m a savage?"

11. “I’m gonna make you miss me.”

12. "Cheers to the freakin weekend.”

13. “Love’s a game. Wanna play?”

14. “You don’t know about me, but I bet you want to.”

15. “Let’s set each other’s lonely nights, Be each other’s paradise.”

16. “Trippin’ on skies, sippin’ waterfalls."

17. “Wish we could turn back time, to the good old days.”

18. “But you will remember me for centuries.”

19. “Something about you makes me feel like a dangerous woman."

20. “Don’t act like it’s a bad thing to fall in love with me.”

21. “Darling, I’m a nightmare dressed like a daydream.”

22. “Find me where the wild things are.”

23. “I’m high on lovin’ you.”

24. “If you’re gonna be somebody’s heartbreak, somebody’s mistake, if you’re gonna be somebody’s first time, somebody’s last time, be mine.”

25. “Don’t be afraid to take the road less traveled on.”

Everything Bruce says in his classic rock songs.

1. "Talk about a dream Try to make it real You wake up in the night With a fear so real Spend your life waiting For a moment that just don't come Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)

2. "It's a town full of losers/ I'm pulling out of here to win" (Thunder Road)

3. "You've got to learn to live with what you can't rise above" (Tunnel of Love)

4. "I got something in my heart/ I been waitin' to give/ I got a life I wanna start/ One I been waitin' to live" (Leah)

5. “God have mercy on the man/ Who doubts what he’s sure of” (Brilliant Disguise)

7. “Is a dream a lie when it don’t come true, or is it something worse?” (The River)

Why you should spend your next summer in New England.

Well don't waste your time waiting." (Badlands)
