For me, it would be Lucky. I just re-watched the first two episodes last night and I remembered just how much I missed this show.

I agree with the posters about Freaks and Geeks and add that they should show Undeclared as well. Judd Apatow is the hottest name in comedy right now; he deserves to have his two television shows rediscovered.
Whoever mentioned Deadline, I totally agree. We'll probably never see it on DVD, but I would love to watch reruns.

If there were a show just a little ahead of its time, it was Lucky. It hit right before poker got huge and would have also paired very nicely with It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia.
In addition to it, somebody should dust off the US version of Touching Evil I heard so much about when I was enjoying Burn Notice this summer.
I'll also give votes to:
Wonderfalls
The Inside
Line of Fire
Eyes
Stark Raving Mad
The Good Life
There are plenty of others I'd also love to see.

Boomtown. I own the DVDs, but that was only S1 and I missed the last three episodes of S2 that were shot since they were burned off during the holiday break.
I also miss The Nine. ABC pulled that show twice and never resolved it, but I was ticked that I couldn't at least watch all the filmed episodes on TV and never got around to watching them on abc.com.
One other show that I really liked last season was Justice. It wsn't great, but I found it pretty entertaining for a "procedural show"
And "Murder One" will always have a special place in my heart.
Finally I'll second Andy Richter and third (or fourth) Arrested Development, the best comedy I've ever seen.

If you really want to watch them, all 13 filmed episodes are available on Itunes.
I heard the conclusion if very unsatisfying since the show needed 22 episodes to make any sense.

They should reair the 3 seasons (61 episodes) of Roswell to boost their ratings and gain more fans so they can get another shot. So they can increase the chances of getting a movie made that so many fans want

I'd love for NBC to re-air Boomtown, maybe the "mainstream" audience will finally, "get it".
I'd love for ABC to rerun Soap. A lot of the stuff on that show would be very "offensive" today. I'd get a kick out of all the idiots writing letters to ABC saying "cancel that new show, Soap!"
Fridays would be a great night for "classic" sitcoms.
