With all of this talk about how this show or that show should be brought back for another season... Are there any shows where this did happen? I can think of a few...
Jericho: Cancelled by CBS after one season. Due to an audience campaign, the show was brought back for a brief, seven-episode second season. The series finale had two endings. One set up a plot to lead into a potential third season. The aired ending provided closure.
Roswell: Cancelled after two seasons by the WB to make room for Smallville. UPN picked up the third season which turned out to be the last. Fortunately, the producers saw the writing on the wall and made sure the third season provided closure. The series finale left the door open for a fourth season in case UPN or another network was interested.
Stargate SG-1: Cancelled by Showtime after five seasons, picked up by SciFi for five more.
NOTE: I'm asking about shows that returned for at least one more season, not just a movie or miniseries.
