‘The Office’, ‘30 Rock’ And A Heap Of Other Shows Are Currently Being Eyed For Revival
Will & Grace was just the beginning.
At a certain point, it honestly might be easier to start writing about which ’90s/’00s shows *aren’t* in line to be brought back, such is the enthusiasm for television revivals right now. We’ve already gotten updates on Twin Peaks, The X-Files and Gilmore Girls, while new eps of Roseanne, Queer Eye, Will & Grace, Arrested Development, Miami Vice and Charmed are in the pipeline as well.
So what’s next? Well, according to one TV executive, the answer is just about anything. NBC Entertainment president Bob Greenblatt recently revealed his reboot wish list and it is seriously stacked.
In an interview with Deadline, Greenblatt identified four major NBC properties he’d be keen to revisit, starting with smash-hit sitcoms 30 Rock and The Office.
“If Tina [Fey] called and said ‘I’d do 30 Rock,’ I’d do it in a heartbeat, even for a limited run,” said Greenblatt. “The same about The Office.”
He’d also like to resurrect ER and The West Wing, and has reportedly been pestering Aaron Sorkin about the latter.
“I keep saying to [Sorkin], ‘do you want to do The West Wing again, wouldn’t it be great to do it?’,” said Greenblatt. “He says, ‘you know I love that show and some day I’d love to revisit it, but it’s not going to happen right now.'”
I can't believe that one clip from the west wing is still relevant

Admittedly, none of this really has the ring of a concrete plan. Still, Greenblatt is arguably one of the most powerful men in television, so there’s a pretty good chance if he wants something, he has the ability to make it happen.
