20 canceled TV shows from the 21st century that need to be revived

Larry David's Curb Your Enthusiasm ended in April 2024, and it's already been too long without him, Jeff, and Cheryl on our TV screens. The fans need that revival immediately.

Tia Mowry, or Melanie Barnett Davis in The Game, is the only reason fans want to see this show back on the air. Well, she and her husband, Derwin Davis. Actually, the entire cast was something special. So, in that case, somebody needs to greenlight this production immediately. 

Even if Lost left me with several questions after six seasons and tons of deaths, I'd go through that all again should a revival ever make its way to the small screen.

We don't want a failed second version of this series. Pretty Little Liars was too iconic of a show not to be revived with the original actors.

Instead of canceling The Real Housewives of Dallas, Bravo should've fired a few, brought back LeeAnne Locken, and raised Tiffany Moon to be the new "it-girl." However, the show was placed on an "indefinite hiatus," and fans have been begging for its return.

Although Ryan Murphy's Scream Queens was a murder mystery TV series, the actors, especially Keke Palmer, Emma Roberts, and Nick Jonas, brought enough humor to the plot that it felt different enough to keep us tuned in. 

ABC's Missing , starring Ashley Judd, made no noise, and that's a shame because Judd killed the role of Becca, a retired CIA agent who traveled to Rome to track down her missing son. Fourteen-year-old me tuned in weekly. 

Bad Girls Club is everything Natalie Nunn's lackluster spinoff Baddies wishes it could be. It had dynamic cast members, interesting storylines, and the biggest draw, character development.

Bravo should do us all a favor and bring Family Karma back for another season. The show featured several Indian-Americans living their best lives in Florida, so you already know the conflict was top-notch. Plus, family drama on reality TV hits so differently. 

In my mind, there's no reason Shahs of Sunset should've been canceled. The group of Persian besties brought everything reality TV fans loved: relationships, glamour, and, of course, drama.

Even though fans have The Kardashians on Hulu, that show is missing a certain je ne sais quoi that Keeping Up With the Kardashians on E! had.

If Shonda Rhimes and ABC can keep Grey's Anatomy alive for 21 seasons, then I know they can create an interesting story for Scandal. Many gladiators in suits are itching to see what Olivia and Fitz are up to now.

Southern Charm: New Orleans was canceled before it had a chance to really hit its stride. It featured news personality Tamica Lee, former Houston Texans player Jeff Charleston, and their illustrious circle of friends living large and in charge in the Bayou State. They also had epic and dramatic moments we're still talking and tweeting about.

Like its Southern Charm counterpart, Summer House: Martha's Vineyard, which featured a cast of 10 Black friends and professionals, was canceled after two seasons despite having enough drama to keep its loyal and growing fanbase entertained. But as we've seen time and time again in the entertainment industry, anything can happen, so I'm definitely keeping my fingers crossed for a potential reboot.

What makes listing this classic so painful is that a spin-off was in the works at Disney. However, the network paused plans for the series after running into complications with Hilary Duff. But if That's So Raven and Wizards of Waverly Place can make a comeback, so can Lizzie.

One Tree Hill had high school basketball stars, family turmoil, and relationship woes —everything that made this show the perfect mid-week drama.

Scripted TV shows about a high school football team being the talk of the town are always needed, and since we don't have one these days, now seems like the perfect time to bring this one back. 

It would've been nice to see Girlfriends have a proper season finale, but nonetheless, I'm thankful it introduced me to Tracee Ellis Ross. 

The only reason I'd like to see this show back on the small screen is because I know Chris Rock would create an entire episode about being rocked by Will Smith.

Friends was a staple in the '90s and early 2000s, so if a revival were to happen today, fans would stream the series like nobody's business.
