Fed Up with the same old same old....

Seems if you don't like soaps, (never watch them) reality TV, (ditto) cookery shows, Crime/Govt. Agency/police shows , medical dramas, or Quizzes, there's nothing to watch on TV! Trawling through the cable channels last night, even the old comedy shows are on a loop, and the channels that show old stuff, well, why can't they show 'new' old stuff? - Series like Soldier, Soldier, Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy, Secret Army,
Makes it look like I've got a thing for soldiers - I haven't - these were just good shows! And a decent variety show - remember when singers had their own shows, Cilla (didn't like her as a singer, but she had some god guests on!) - bit of chat, a song or two a special guest and a sketch
What show (s) would you like to see back?

Interestingly redcrx, I have recently managed to realign my screen relationship with Mr Green.
For utterly incomprehensible reasons, I took totally against Mr Green, seeing him as an egotistical individual with little acting ability. This hostility cannot even be based on firm evidence - having never watched Soldier Soldier, and being indifferent to his apearences in Casualty.
It affected me so much that I felt unable to watch any of the Wire in The Blood episodes, and I even found his 'presence' coloured my enjoyment of the Tony Hill novels, to the point where i was unable to read them without visuallising him.
As inexplicably as this rancour arrived, it departed again, and I have watched and thoroughly enjoyed RG in WITB - found his acting excellent (including a superb hairpiece!) and have read and enjoyed all the novels.
I found my occasional brief viewings of his Extreme Fishing shows to be devoid of any ego, instead full of boysih enthusiasm (and no hairpiece!) which communicated itself well to a non-angler like myself.
So, now that Mr Green is unknowingly admitted to my list of actors to be admired - I wonder if I should attempt to cash in on this new-found tolerance, and attempt a second viewing of Four Weddings And A Funeral?

Id like to see Deadwood back and allowed to actually finish, i want and need to know what happens, its the best show ive ever seen.
Also i loved North Square another brilliant series on CH4 that only ran for only one season. Peter Moffat wrote it and has now gone on to write Silk which is pretty much an identical format but just not quite as good, there is no Phil Davis in SIlk!
Ive also just heard that Whites wont be getting a second season which is a shame as i thought it was really rather good and a little different. The same BBC lady that put a stop to that did however give the green light for a second series of Episodes, i cant understand that choice!
