HunchBluntley: Like I said -- Netflix brought it back for one more after AMC dropped it
phaolo: I didn't quote the rest of your post, because I was talking in general.
Anyway, I must say that I had never heard of a "resurrected" series after cancellation, before that comment..
It's happened quite a few times with U.S. series, especially in recent years, with the rise of subscription-based streaming services. Besides
The Killing, off the top of my head I can think of
The Mindy Project (FOX dropped it, Hulu picked it up),
Longmire (A&E --> Netflix),
Arrested Development (cancelled by FOX, resurrected by Netflix several years later),
Scrubs (I think it went from NBC to ABC),
Medium (NBC to CBS, I believe)...and I'm pretty sure there are some other easy examples that evade my recollection at the moment.
Edit before posting: Oh,
Family Guy (was on FOX, I
think wound up on some other channel for a bit after being canned [not sure about this part], then came back to FOX and became a hit),
American Dad! (FOX to...TBS? I think?),
Futurama (resurrected by Comedy Central years after FOX pulled the plug), and the unfortunately-named
Cougar Town (ABC --> TBS) as well.
