Question about revivals

Battlestar Galactica, off the top of my head.
1980s Twilight Zone did well. (Made it 3 seasons)
...The Late Late Show with Tom Snyder was a revival of Tomorrow with Tom Snyder in all but name and network. The only notable differences were the addition of phone calls from the audience and Tom's increasingly graying hair. It ran for three years before Tom quit. And The Dick Cavett Show was successfully revived twice years after ABC cancelled it -- on PBS from 1977 to 1982, and on CNBC from 1989 to 1996...
I'd think that The Outer Limits (On Showtime, then Sci-Fi and syndication) would qualify as well.

The Outer Limits lasted for seven seasons. So yes, it was a successful revival.
Can we count shows like Family Guy that went away for several years and then came back?
The revival of Mission: Impossible on ABC with Peter Graves which lasted 2 seasons in the late 1980's
