05 Aug NBC Wants To Revive ‘The Office’, ‘ER’ And ’30 Rock’ For Brand New Seasons

Our favourite television shows leave impressions on us that last far longer than their on air time span.

From playgrounds to office water-coolers, truly great TV creates moments that have ripples all over society, as fans endlessly re-live and quote their favourite moments to each other, basking in their shared enjoyment.

Much store is set by such “water-cooler moments” in the entertainment industry; particularly in our modern culture where social media dictates popular opinion with an unprecedented speed, creating talked about television comes with heady rewards for those who get it right. Shows like Game of Thrones and Breaking Bad are excellent examples of this; programmes that have come to transcend merely being excellent pieces of television to become veritable cultural movements.

To that end, television has become an even more intensely competitive industry than ever before. Due to the rise of streaming services like Netflix and Amazon Prime, more pressure than ever before is placed on show makers to create talked about, profitable television. Perhaps that is why channels are trending toward turning back to the past, to known commodities, proven successes, as they look to carve their place in the over-populated market.

Certainly, NBC look to be following in that mould, after it was reported that the TV channel wanted to revive several extremely well known shows.
