New thread to escape from 'THATS THE JOKE' and my beakering.
You can bring back one television show and one musical 'act' from the past. They can be retired or dead, there are no constraints.
Which are your choices?

Tricky. Only three seasons of Arrested Development is a damn shame,
but there are rumours of a movie. Apparently Caprica has been cancelled before its time, but the book's not closed on that really, especially if Blood & Chrome does well. I'd very much like to see another series of Blackadder, as long as a level of quality akin to the second and third series could be assured.
As far as music goes, I have to say Faith No More, as they're my all-time favourite band and I never saw them live.

I can assure you that the two are entirely unrelated

Last time I saw FNM was 1991
But then, I am fucking old. Patten more or less destroyed his entire sound rig by running an uncovered mike the full length of a metal grill stage. Deafened the front 20 rows, mind you. He then did a back flip off a 12 foot bass stack and landed flat on his back and somehow didn't end up as a quadrospazz.
I don't know, but I suspect some MDs may have been involved.

hang on
just need to review their history and see when my favourite stuff was done...
edit: ok, I mean the early Gillan stuff. I have a firmly held view that Pictures of Home is their finest song.

I think you're possibly thinking of
"Deep Purple MkII" - the second and most famous lineup, that being Blackmore, Lord, Gillan, Glover and Paice - so everything between
In Rock and
Who Do We Think We Are?.

What?
But that's one of my favourites!
Actually, that would explain a lot...someone played me a more recent live album of theirs not so long ago with Steve Morse on guitar. I was more than a little surprised that they opened with Pictures of Home!

yeah, the thing I read said as much
I saw them a few years back and it was great, but Steve Morse is just too widdly on the guitar. Blackmore's style was unique.

My work colleagues got seriously offended when I said they were shit.
"You have to remember that it was the Sixties and nothing like them had happened before"
"The Kinks happened in the Sixties, they are not shit. The Beatles gave birth to Wings, Thomas the Tank Engine and vegetarian sausages of doubtful quality. They most certainly were shit".

I still think he's a knob
George Harrison had the talent, as can be seen from the Travelling Wilburys (admittedly Tom Petty and Roy Orbison may have had something to do with that, and possibly Robert Zimmerman as well, but probably not)
who wrote Come Together? I think that's their best work

It's a shame they only got three series out of that. Even more of a shame that the BBC decided not to release series 2 and 3 on DVD.
Sure, you'd need a fresh set of characters to keep it topical...but you could easily bring back the paedofinder general.

Ha! Admittedly that one was getting a bit repetitive by the second series
But I'd still enjoy a fresh set of them. Their challenge is to better

and
"I've been trying to fill a bath with cum."

Also Brasseye and Jam, but I doubt they would work with multiple series either. You can't maintain the shock level over time and that's part of the quality.

Some band I saw live in 1999 called "Lounge", supporting "Monkey steals the drum". They were like early 90s shoegazers but better. Immense, but not in an arcade fire way, and looked really cool too. There's never any trace of them on the 'net that I can find. Monkey steals the drum were a good act too. Don't suppose anyone knows what I'm on about here, but hey.
