Comebacks have never come quite as meta as "The Comeback." The one-and-done season of the 2005 comedy series starred Lisa Kudrow as Valerie Cherish, a former sitcom star attempting a comeback by way of a reality series. Now it's "The Comeback" that's returning. Nine years after it left the air, the show returns to HBO Sunday at 10 p.m.
But "The Comeback" isn't the first show to be resurrected from the depths of cancellations past. Here are 13 other shows that were brought back from the dead.
'Arrested Development'
The cult hit thrived online after it was canceled by Fox upon its third season's conclusion. Netflix rewarded the fan base's enthusiasm with a fourth season in 2013.
'Damages'
Even Glenn Close's Emmy recognition couldn't convince FX to keep the legal thriller alive. After three seasons, the cable network let it go. It then landed at DirecTV, where it completed two more seasons.
'Cougar Town'
The Courteney Cox-led laugher had a tumultuous three seasons on ABC, where it always seemed breaths away from being canceled. Once it finally was, TBS picked up the show. Its sixth and final season will air next year.
'Scrubs'
The hospital comedy starring Zach Braff was a big hit on NBC, but after seven seasons, the network cut it loose. The show found a new home on ABC, where it continued for two more years.
'The Killing'
"The Killing" was slaughtered by its network, FX, not once, but twice. After burning out with viewers and critics, it was canceled after two seasons. The network later decided to revive it, then canceled it again after the third season. Now, the show calls Netflix its home — the fourth season dropped there in August.
'24'
Kiefer Sutherland's action-packed hit lasted a healthy eight seasons on Fox, wrapping things up in 2010. The network brought the show back earlier this year for another go, albeit as a limited series with a subtitle, "Live Another Day."
'JAG'
The military legal drama "JAG" was given just season at NBC before getting the boot. CBS swooped in and picked it up after it was canceled in 1996. The new network kept the show in its roster for nine seasons in total.
'Community'
Despite consistently chilling beside the chopping block, "Community" kept kicking for five seasons at NBC. The network pulled the plug earlier this year, but Yahoo! picked it up and will air new episodes next year.
'Taxi'
The classic sitcom was birthed in 1978 on ABC, where it lasted for four seasons. When ABC called to break up with the critically acclaimed show in 1982, NBC provided the rebound. It aired a fifth and final season before saying goodbye for good in '83.
'Southland'
NBC only aired the cop drama for one season, but it found a lifeline in TNT, which picked it up and ran it for four more seasons, concluding last year.
'The Game'
This spinoff of the hit comedy "Girlfriends" held onto the CW schedule for three years before it was canceled in 2009. BET was the show's savior, reviving it in 2011. The show's ninth and final season will air next year.
'Heroes'
The superhero drama shined bright when it first hit the air, but as viewers departed, so did NBC — after four seasons, they canned it in 2010. Earlier this year, it was announced the network would revive the show as a limited "event" series, "Heroes: Reborn."
'Twin Peaks'
Fans were shocked when Showtime announced they'd be reviving "Twin Peaks" for a limited run in 2016. The show originally aired for two seasons before getting the heave ho way back in 1991.
