Soap!
I doubt they could re-make it properly but a repeat run would be nice.
Mmmmm, I feel a DVD search coming on.
It's probably the only US comedy I like - this is because I don't get their humour, whereas Soap was just plain mad...
When I was young, I used to watch Soap! and Agony (unless my parents caught me, as they were on too late, I seem to remember!). Loved them both - though I don't think Agony has stood the test of time. Soap was the best send up of US soaps made at the time. I just loved the whole kidnapped by aliens, replaced by an alien, impregnated by an alien story line... Mad as a bag of snakes!
Going by memory, it had every stereotype and architype imaginable. It was a chaotic comedy, but it crossed the line too frequently. It would be deemed as a taboo in the extreme. Couldn't make a series such as that today - the censors would choke on their Cocoa and digestives.
