OZ was a great television drama that aired on HBO from 1997-2003. This show ushered in the era of the cable drama, an era which was ruled by HBO for many years. Even though OZ had its ups and downs, we feel that this classic prison drama deserves another chance. The show was left open ended, let's use that to our advantage. This is a benefit to the fans, obviously, but it is also a benefit for HBO. The cable channel has lost its footing atop the cable drama genre. A major move like bringing OZ back on the air would garner a lot of buzz, attention, and ratings. Tie that in with an increased hunger for all things OZ (DVD's, downloads, merch, etc...), and this is a cash cow waiting to happen. In a time when those who hold all the entertainment power have forgotten the ones who have given them that power, wouldn't it be great to have a corporation that does show it cares for the fans? We, the undersigned fans of the prison drama OZ, would love to see HBO bring the series back to the air. It would not only please us, but also please the suits at HBO who care about their wallets. Now that is the perfect win-win situation. Please bring OZ back to the air. Thank you.

Would be a really good idea if you could get some of the same actors back. It could show them later into there sentence and how it's changed them. There is so much you could do with this, it basically could write itself and be extremely entertaining.

HBO's Oz is the most influential and important show to me. I am a returning citizen who has gotten my life together and I Identity with so many people on this show. I've done time and if I would have seen this show beforehand, it would have made a difference.

With today's modern film making abilities, OZ will look way better than it did 13 years ago. With a good script and HD cameras, it will be an HBO hit.

With more violent offenders than ever,along with global terrorism. A reboot of oz could only bring excellent storylines. HBO should definitely bring oz back.

This is easily the best show ever made it's totally addictive and with the news of twin peaks season 3 so many years later anything is possible, the only problem is most of the cast in the show were killed off and it wouldn't be the same without keller, schillinger, warden glynne an the many others who were slaughtered
