if you had the power to go back in time and put two shows back on tv in the present, which ones would you choose?
Gotta go with Freaks and Geeks for one,,,that show was funny as hell and off the top of my head maybe Combat.

Futurama becoming the rightful heir to the Simpsons.
Now and Again, keeping the 'Six Million Dollar Man's Day-Off' vibe but losing that execreble theme tune.

Nah, Synergy was the real driving force of the show.
Joe Bash. Best ever show to only last 4 episodes.

Not counting shows that had good runs but which I want to see go on forever, it would be:
Firefly
Wonderfalls

There was also a show on that I kinda thought was a cool concept... Dead Again it was called.... about this group of kids who could see dead people because of some medallion. They had to help them to get them to go away. I liked it.
There was also a show in the late 80s... maybe '88... UnSub... or UNSUB... or something. I think M. Emmett Walsh was in it. It was about a group of detectives or FBI agents or something who had specialties and who tried to figure out who murdered people. My guess is that I'd have to be 18 again to enjoy it... and still be in the 80s, because I'm sure it's dated now. 18 again sounds good though.

Wow, you already answered it. Freaks and Geeks was what I thought of as soon as I read the question, then a split second later I read that. Awesome.
I loved when Nick would just make his girlfriend stand around and watch him play drums. Or when Daniel played D&D with the geeks. Or Bill getting drunk to Dallas while everyone else drank non-alcoholic beer. I own the DVD set of it. That was an awesome show. I'll never forget this line. I just love the delivery.
