SLIDESHOW: '80s TV Stars: Who's Due for a Comeback?
1 of 8
Joyce DeWitt
DeWitt, better know as Janet from "Three's Company," was the straight woman who sort of held the show together. And she was pretty funny, too. "Jack!"

Mr. T
"The A-Team" star is still legendary for lines like "I pity the fool!"
-
Bill Cosby
It's been 19 years since "The Cosby Show" went off the air. Today's "Jersey Shore"-infested TV landscape could use some of Cosby's family-friendly humor.
-
Rhea Perlman
Perlman was perfect as sassy barmaid Carla on "Cheers." Is it too late for a sequel?
-
ALF
A show devoted to an alien who likes to eat cats was weird enough to work the first time around.
-
Sherman Hemsley
We'd like to see Hemsley (aka George Jefferson) move on up ... back into primetime.
-
Bronson Pinchot
Seriously -- how is it possible that "Perfect Strangers" star Cousin Balki never got his own spin-off?
-
Richard Moll
Who could forget "Bull" the bailiff from "Night Court"?

Let's face it: The '80s were a little bit quirky.
Which is why, when we consider which TV stars from the decade of bad hair and shoulder pads are due for a comeback, some of our choices are a little bit out there.
Take Joyce DeWitt, better know as Janet from "Three's Company." True, everyone thinks of the late, great John Ritter and Suzanne Somers (and maybe even Mr. Furley) when they think of the 1976-1984 sitcom, but Janet was the one who sort of held it all together.
Guess we're not the only ones missing DeWitt: She's currently making her stage debut in New York.
"This is where I was headed and then I got sidetracked in Holly-weird and one thing happened after another," the 62-year-old actress told The Associated Press of her title role in "Miss Abigail's Guide to Dating, Mating & Marriage!"
