AceShowbiz - Cast and creators of "Terriers" and "Ugly Betty" are showing their interest for possible revivals. The FC series was canceled in 2010 after one 13-episode season, while the ABC series ended after four seasons in the same year.
During a "Canceled Too Soon" panel at the ATX TV festival, "Terriers" creator/executive producer Ted Griffin said, "We may have investigated [a reboot]." Ted then jokingly asked the audience to each donate $100,000 for a "Terriers" movie, "I think we would like to make a movie. And I think we have the idea sort of what we'd want to do, we just need to clear it with Fox."
Shawn Ryan added, "There's a couple of things we'd have to clear. Fox has the rights. This is the kind of show where I feel like if Donal and Mikey were up to it and Ted had the story he wanted to tell this is the world we would definitely revisit, given the opportunity."
Donal Logue and Michael Raymond-James also expressed their interest to join a possible reboot. "Michael and I talk about it all the time," Donal said, "It was the only job I've been on where I can't really describe what it was like. I can't distinguish myself from a character in this thing and a fan of this thing." Michael joked, "I'm Skyping you guys from some medium-security correctional facility that Britt's been in these last six years."
When asked about a potential crossover between "The Shield" and "Terriers", Shawn said, "Boy, now you're talking about a lot of contractual that would need figuring out. In a hypothetical world, I think it'd be very interesting to see a Vic Mackey and [these guys]. My guess is that Vic would maybe give Hank a bit of a beat down that Hank would secretly feel he deserved and Britt would sneak out the back door and escape and check-in later and say, 'Hey buddy, how'd it go?' "
America Ferrera, meanwhile, had the crowd erupting in cheers when she joked during "Ugly Betty" reunion at ATX festival, "Hulu's going to pick us up for a two-hour special." The joke quickly turned into a real idea when America asked the audience to tweet at Hulu to bring the show back with the hashtag #HuluBringBackUglyBetty. "Let's all tweet it out and we're going to get Hulu to buy a 2 two hour special," she added.
Some cast members suggested idea of where their characters would be if the show returned. America said, "Betty has been in London for 6 years and now she's coming back home." Judith Light, meanwhile, imagined her character would be "back in the sanitarium."
Creator Silvio Horta was also open for a possible revival, saying, "The only thing I know for sure, if we were to do something, and it would be a dream, but everybody on this stage would have to be involved." Becky Newton was not able to attend due to illness.
Last year, "Gilmore Girls" had their own reunion at ATX and has since been revived for a four-episode run on Netflix.
