What are your favorite canceled shows?
Wednesday, April 2nd, 2008 - 3:08pm
I am sure all of you had a show or another that you loved but kicked the bucket.
Mine are:
Firefly
The Black Donnellys
These are the only two I can remember signing petitions and ranting on network forums for.
Thanks for standin' still Wanker!

Farscape, mainly because of how and when it was canceled. The Sci-Fi Channel's card at the end of the final episode praising the show for being on for four years made me yell as loud as Da'argo.

Maybe we should just list the members of the site who don't put Firefly here. It would be shorter.
Twin Peaks.

Well, Cooking Mama didn't help me become a better cook, and Trauma Center certainly didn't help me become a better surgeon. I have the proof of both sitting in my freezer. -- imbiginjapan
Firefly
Rome
Threshold
Daybreak
Drive
Shelter 1-minute atmospheric teaser.
I, too, am signing this Mourning of Firefly thread. Also, waaaaay back, it's a shame that Fawlty Towers got only 12 episodes, it was some of the best comedy writing and performing ever.
You can't take the sky from me.
Arrested Development

Firefly, of course.
The Tick live action series. Even though it was obvious from day one that it wasn't going to make it.

Less chatter more splatter!
Jericho, even though I still have to watch the 2nd season at all.
Futurama.

Also Surface could've been interesting
Oh, yeah. I dug the Tick show too.

I just recently caught up on Firefly for free on Hulu.com and it was spectacular!

I am actually pretty surprised at all the firefly support. I wonder why fox ended it.

Well firefly for one, and most of the shows that I grew up on. Most of the Nick shows I want BACK, curse you Nick, curse you. It seems a lot of shows that I have liked have been canceled, like Enterprise..which they need to start up a new series or start on the voyager movies.
I support the second amendment
I don't know the history of the show but I'm willing to guess that it didn't get canceled. Outside of America shows will run for limited times instead of while the ratings are good. Another BBC example would be The Office. 12 episodes divided into 2 6 episode series and 2 Christmas specials. The only other example I could offer would be Anime. I'd love more Cowboy Bebop but that show did what it wanted to and it's not coming back.

Carnivale

EVE: Hannibal Dax
Firefly
Babylon 5 (ruined by being cancelled during season 4, then green lighted again)
Crusade (13 eps, butchered and shown in the wrong order by Sci-Fi channel)
Futurama
Farscape
Honestly, when I think of some of the crap that runs for years and years, then compare it to this lot, it's enough to make me cry.
"sous les paves, la plage !!"
Eve-Online : Elizabeth Lockley
I went to high school with Billy Lush (Kevin Donnelly). He was constantly cracking me up. We were on the math team together.
In Ultima Online I used to poison hams and leave them on the ground in cities for people to pick up and eat. I can't believe how many people thought street ham was a good thing to eat. -Elliottx
Firefly
Rome
You Can't Do That on Television
AoC: Another game I never hit the level cap.
CoX: Back on! Villains and IO's are fun. Liberty server.
Carnivale (Wow, I wasn't the only one watching!)
Firefly
Arrested Development
Max Headroom
Airwolf
Automan
Buck Rodgers
Eh...that's all I can think of right now, but I'm sure there are more.
Somebody told me how frightening it was how much topsoil we are losing each year, but I told that story around the campfire and nobody got scared.
I loved that show, for the short time they let me watch it.
I'm like a flashing lightning and a rolling thunder, I'm like a stepping razor
Let's get Firefly and Arrested Development out of the way.
Samurai Champloo's ending could easily be a season ending.
Angel had an abrupt ending. Not the last episode per se, but the last season. I would love to have seen what Joss could have done with one more like he planned.

Jayne: Anybody remember her coming at me with a butcher's knife?
Wash: Wacky fun.
So is this shows that were canceled before their time or any show that is no longer airing?
Firefly
Futurama
Farscape (brought to resolution of sorts thanks to made-for-TV movies)
Misfits of Science (what, no mentions so far?)
Jericho
Dresden Files
Babylon 5 (ruined by uncertainty, season 5 could have been great)
Invasion
Nowhere Man
Brisco F*cking County Jr!
You know there's probably a couple dozen I'd put on the list but don't immediately come to mind. I've watched a lot of TV.

Deadwood. Deadwood. Deadwood. I still say it was the greatest show ever to grace the TV screen. To have ended it early was an affront to all that is good and holy in the world of entertainment.
And for the record, I am pissed that the SciFi channel had to rush to finish Farscape in that TV movie thing. Also, it's too bad Firefly wasn't given more of a chance. It was the only Joss Whedon show that didn't piss me off.
