It doesn't happen often, but ABC has confirmed it's bringing back the medical comedy "Scrubs," with all three of the main leads returning. It's been off the air for 15 years and you might think that's a record for a show to make a comeback.
But there's at least one other sitcom that beats it - and it died an ignoble death upon its return. "Murphy Brown" debuted on CBS beginning in 1988, and ran for a decade, winning multiple Emmy Awards. CBS brought it back in 2018 - some 20 years later - with most of the original cast. It limped along across the season, before being quietly dumped a few months later.
"Family Guy" is another show that made a dramatic comeback. Fox cancelled it in 2002, noticed how well it was doing in video sales and on cable reruns and brought it back with the original voice cast in 2005 - and it's still running today some 20 years later. One of the most remarkably successful comebacks in TV history.
