But still, it just feels kinda cheap to me to bring him back, just so they can keep him around. When his in Avengers 1 was such a sad and effective goodbye to such a beloved character.

I mean, if they just had to bring him back, why not have the show take place before the events of the movie?!. That way they could still have had him return, without undermining his noble sacrifice. Like, maybe take us through Coulson's early days with S.H.I.E.L.D.?, and show us more of why he's such a great agent. Then, if you want the show to continue post Avengers 1, just introduce more new characters and make the show about them. After all, It's called AgentS of S.H.I.E.L.D.

Still, i don't hate the show, or Marvel for reversing his death, i just think it's frustrating that they can't leave well enough alone.
