Television shows you feel reasonably confident will never be "revived"

I frakking loved both of these as a kid.
Because Living Single invented friends living a city? Seinfeld did that too, even Cheers is a similar concept, it's set in a bar but it's not really a workplace sitcom, it's a bunch of friends hanging out.
Cheers and Seinfeld aren't tonally similar with the same kind of archetypes as either Living Single or Friends.
Weird that I kind of vaguely remember Yes, Dear existing, but have no solid memory whatsoever of one second or even one frame of that show. All of these "schlubby, overweight blue collar white dude with a hot wife" mid-2000s sitcoms kind of blur together.
There's almost 0 chance we make it to the end of the 2020s without a remake, reboot, or revival of Lost.
Out of this World.
The War at Home tried. Didn't have an uncle Eddie or funny grandpa though.
Why would anyone? Still great though.
I absolutely love this show. Time for a rewatch.

A Fuller House style sequel for this would be so depressing. Uncle Eddie and Henry would certainly be in jail, and Jimmy is going to be an incel and Lily would be unhappily married/divorced after running off Brad. Those kids were maladjusted.
Why would anyone? Still great though.
The classic British sitcom, "Heil Honey, I'm Home!"
I don't know why a sitcom starring a fictional Hitler didn't last one episode, seems like gold to me!
(Honestly, how many people had to approve that shit before it got onto air before someone said "What the fuck are you doing?")

Depends on your definition of revival, but if we're talking with the same people being involved, then The O.C. The two main actors aren't interested and the creator/showrunner and the co-showrunner aren't either. The O.C. without Ben McKenzie, Adam Brody, Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage isn't The O.C. Fox might try something with the IP but I think a legit revival isn't gonna happen, sadly.
...seriously, it's probably the 2000s show that is most likely to see a revival/continuation. ABC probably has scripts for "DHARMA: From The Chronicles of Lost" or some shit in a glass case that says "break in case of weak season."
Any show/franchise owned by a company that also owns one of these streaming services has a chance of revival or spin-off.
I actually really loved this show lol. With the cast aging up and this type of sitcom dying out (for the most part) it'll never get revived.
I'd be very excited if it happened but that recent rumor seems like total bullshit to me. Adam Brody said he wouldn't mind Fox doing something else with the IP but wouldn't go back to his character and he knew Ben McKenzie felt the same way. Josh Schwartz and Stephanie Savage were asked to do an O.C. revival and chose Gossip Girl instead because they felt like the story was done. They'd need to have suddenly come up with an idea so brilliant that Ben and Adam would also change their minds and that strikes me as unlikely. I wouldn't bet against a revival focused on new characters with people who have expressed interest in returning like Rachel Bilson and Peter Gallagher showing up, kinda like 90210, but a Ryan and Seth-centric revival? I can't see that happening. Too bad because I bet a Gilmore Girls-type revival could be amazing, but when none of the major players involved are interested, that's a tough hill to climb.
The Expanse after season 6 ends. It was cancelled previously and now it's facing another end. I don't see it returning for season 7.

I adore it but between the puppets and the BDSM stylings there's no way it gets brought back today.
E: Hah, just saw that on the first page. Teach me to respond to the OP.
