Opinion: Three TV Shows that don't deserve to be cancelled

In the modern day and age, a lot of TV shows are cancelled if they don't make enough money, however, there are three cancelled TV shows that I believe should be brought back.

TV and movies are such a big aspect of entertainment and there are so many different varieties of series and films available to us. After all, we all have our own preferences when it comes to choosing something to watch.

But the disappointing thing is that so many series get cancelled either after the pilot episode or after the first season.

Now, this may be a controversial conversation, but this blog post is purely my opinion.

Among the many cancelled series, there are three shows I would like to see back on TV and I'll tell you why.

The first show I'd love to see come back is Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies. This show is new this year and it's a prequel to the iconic movie, Grease.

Whilst it's not everyone's cup of tea, I actually really liked the show. I previously wrote a blog post ranking the songs from it, which shows how much I love it, haha.

But unfortunately, it's been cancelled after season one, which for me, is sad because I was hoping for more Grease original songs, a Jane and Ritchie reunion and answers after the cliffhanger the finale left us on.

The cast has created a hashtag - #Savethepinkladies - in the hopes that the show will be renewed. I share their hope because Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies may be a bit cheesy, but it is entertaining, and enjoyable to watch and actually shows us the importance of friendship and sticking to who you are.

The second TV show I would like to see back on our screens is Julie and the Phantoms. Now, I know a lot of people, especially on TikTok, feel the same way.

Julie and the Phantoms was a Netflix show about a young girl, who rediscovers her love of music when she meets the three ghosts of a boyband. Again, the show only had one season aired before it was cancelled.

Just like Grease: Rise of the Pink Ladies, it had original songs written for it, which probably to no one's surprise, I really liked. Julie and the Phantoms also ended on a cliffhanger, leaving fans waiting for the next season but it never came.

Having Julie and the Phantoms back on TV would be great because it would give us more songs to listen to and tie up the storylines and give the audience more important life lessons, like season one did.

Whilst the previous two shows mentioned were cancelled after season one, this third TV show was actually cancelled after season five. It was also a reboot of a show from the 90s.

And it is MacGyver.

One of the main reasons why I'd like to see MacGyver back on TV is because, throughout the whole five seasons, the producers teased us with a relationship between Mac and Riley - two of the protagonists. In season five, it looked like they would finally get together as the two of them realised they liked each other.

But, before we actually got to see them get together, season five ended and season six never happened.

I also, personally, want it to return because it's an action show that has comedic elements as well as useful in lessons in chemistry and physics and technology that would help you if you're ever in a sticky situation.

There was once a petition to get the show back on TV but it sadly didn't do the trick.

Now I understand why TV shows get cancelled and there's nothing really we can do about it, but I just wanted to express my opinion. You may agree or you may not - that is completely fine. These are just my thoughts.

But a question to you all: have you seen any of the above shows? If so, what did you think of them?

Until next time...
