Since we have a thread already for noughties TV that would not pass today, why not have one for 2000s tv shows we would all like to see return?

1. Desperate Housewives - this is the first that springs to mind. Such a brilliant series from start to finish - now that its been 20 years since it first began, it would be nice to see Wisteria Lane now with an older Brie, Gabby, Susan and Lynette (unsure if the actress is still in prison though?). I honestly feel like it could be a success.




2. Pop Idol - even though talent shows don't seem to have the same pull as they did pre-2012, I think a Pop Idol revival could generate a lot of interest - especially since it never flopped, instead just axed for The X Factor, and there's probably some nostalgia value there. What was better about the format compared to XF was the judges being impartial, rather than having the eventual winner's boss sit on the panel.




3. Bad Girls - this was must-see back in the day and probably some of the most shocking things my 8-year-old self watched. The storylines, the characters (played by some brilliant actresses) and writing - all were on top form. It's weird it was axed despite still being popular and there's never really been a British female prison drama since.




4. Footballers Wives - this was sexy, camp and entertaining tv at its best! Again, I probably shouldn't have been watching this at a young age but thank God I did. Tanya Turner was THE bitch, Jason, Conrad and Kyle were hot af and even lesser characters like Hazel just brought so much. Series 3 was the peak in my opinion! Unsure whether it would work now but if it ever came back I hope they'd keep some of the original cast.




5. Top of the Pops - there hasn't been a regular music show like TOTP or Popworld in ages. Maybe the genre is dead but would be nice for current artists to have a platform to promote new music.
