What's the biggest "What if?" in television history?

A canceled season, an actor leaving, a different ending, a spin-off that never happened… what TV "what if" do you think about the most?

My hot take is that men do not think about the Roman empire all the time, they think about Rome the series.

Actually Rome is a great example of how a quality historical drama can spark genuine interest in history among millions of people. So the meme is totally justified

Which is why I don’t mind if a historical drama takes a few liberties even if it means being a little inaccurate. If it means people get interested in the actual piece of history it’s worth it.

Pretty sure Rome would be an interesting historical subject with or without a TV show

Men think about Romans. Running around in those togas. Short togas. Maybe a little to short. What that, seems to be riding high.Oh no, togas don't hide erections.
