Angel - Seriously, it was much better than Buffy and it had evolved into something awesome with more potential than when it started. Could have done with another season or two if you ask me. Even if they went with the 6x90 minute movie lenth "episodes", similar to Futurama's outcome.
Angel is among my favorite tv series of all time. That said, it really should never, EVER make a return, because the last episode had the world's most perfect ending ever. Not Fade Away is so good that I would rather have that episode than another season, because there's no way they can sum up the whole series in a better way than they did. Impossible.

Firefly and Futurama are awesome. The Futurama movies are horribly bad though, so much that I've lost interest in seeing more of the show since I'm sure they will just do what the movies did, that is go in circles. The problem with Futurama is that the story never progresses forward, every episode starts with Leela turning down Fry, then at the end of the episode, we see them getting closer, teasing us with the idea that they might start dating. Then it's back to square one. In season 5 it was tolerable, since it still felt like we were making baby steps, but then the movies come out and we find that we are standing still. Not that their relationship is that interesting, but it's still frustrating how the writers just keep beating the same dead horse until we're sick of the sight.

I wouldn't say no to another Firefly movie, or a continuation of the show. Also, Jericho. That show was just getting interesting when they cancelled it.

I'll agree the 2nd was turd, but I thought the first was awesome. Well, the 2nd one wasn't a complete failure (imo) but it lacked that something 'Bender's Big Score' had. Still had it's moments, but not as much overall 'wow factor'.

And back to Angel (sorry I shortened the quote), but I agree the ending was good. But there was quite a bit left open. Angel and Spike had only just managed to work together (allied as equals) and along with Illyria, they'd become quite a force to be reckoned with.

Even if they just did a film of the final battle (opening with Angel vs. Dragon) and they all got wiped out in the final battle, I'd be happy. Especially if they fought the 'Keep-safe' that was under Wolfram & Hart as we never got to see that big beasty. :D

Bring sexy back!!!

Obviously, Firefly. The laid back and enjoyable series, not the silly movie.

Also, how about good cartoons? It would be nice to see what my lil' bros. are watching and seeing something decent on.

Yeah, they are. Now that's my bit of good news! Stop stealing it!

And I loved robot wars! Man, I miss it...
And Scientific American Frontier with Allan Alda...man I loved that show.

EDIT: There are some people that fox-P2 shouldn't work. Bleachigo, in this case, is one of them.

M.E.G.A.S XLR neends to come back.
I can't believe I forgot that.

I don't remember much about it, and I'm not sure if it's even on anything anymore, but Samurai Jack was a very interesting show.

And for god's sake, bring back the old Pokemon!!! They ruined it ever since they changed the theme song from "I wanna be, the very best" to "It's all 'bout the challenges! And makin' friends! It's totaly not about catchin' 'em all!!!@#!#$"

How many times are Ash, May, and Brock going to be surprised every time Team Rocket shows up? Seriously, this sums it up quite nicely [http://www.vgcats.com/comics/?strip_id=260].

Oh well.

EDIT: AH, and Robot Wars to!

EDIT 2: AND Invader Zim. That was the sleaziest, most dark-humoured cartoon i've ever seen in my life when I was 6-11 years old.

I had almost forgotten about the first Futurama movie. Yeah, it was alright, the story was funny because it was so insanely convoluted, making nearly every single character play some part of it, and although it wasn't quite as fun as the show I liked it, it was decent. The second one was a complete failure, the idea was fine but the execution was embarrassing.

The percieved openedness of Angel's ending is what makes it so brilliant.
Thoughout the episode, they repeatedly tell us that their enemies cannot be defeated, and it's stated several times that they will not make it out alive. They just want to fuck up their plans enough to delay the apocalypse. And indeed, in the end they are cornered, outnumbered with seemingly no chance of survival. If they shot the actual battle it would ruin it for me, I love how the gang is left with no hope and we get to decide if they went out in a blaze or glory, or if they were saved by whatever deus ex machina.

Also, the death of Wesley is be the best death scene since Jenny Calendar in season 2 of Buffy. I wouldn't want to undo that death scene, since it's so spectacular, but I wouldn't want a season of Angel without Wesley since he's my favorite character. So, yeah.

(goes on about Angel)
I see how you see it and that's awesome for a complete end. But there were a few factors that made me think how it could continue from that: Angel obtaining powers from The Senior Partners through Hamilton, Illyria becoming well pissed off because of Wesley and lastly, I don't think Connor would have gotten far without sensing the huge group of demons round the side of the building he just left.

Those included AND Spike, I think they'd have done something other that die. Okay, Gunn was worm food anyway but they could have gotten out of there after some what of an epic battle.

That's my view on it anyway. Maybe I over analyse everything. Or do I?
