Most Tragic Television Cancellation?

[KarumaK]

Invader Zim, Megas XLR, Samurai Jack, and Futurama.

Four shows ended before they had a true chance.

Carnivàle on HBO. Instead they replaced it with stupid fucking Rome.

I think Rome is one of the best series ever. I would have wanted more of that.

My pick is The Job. It's one of the best series ever, cancelled after only one season. But, it seems like ABC has a thing for killing great shows, they've just killed Dirty Sexy Money which was another favorite of mine.

Futurama
Invader Zim
THUNDERCATS (why damnit, i was raised with that!)
SWAT cats

I'm surprised anyone's yet to mention The Prisoner, though I guess it's a little too old for most to have seen it.

Other than that I'd probably go with Futurama.

YES

Until then I was just thinking Firefly and Futurama, but The Prisoner!

I need a better ending than Dem Bones! Although something tells me Patrick isn't going to be writing any more of those, is he now?

Firefly was a great loos but there have been others

 

[Highlandheadbanger]

Invader Zim!! I loved that program

I died a little inside when they cancelled this. Too bad about Frisky Dingo, the Xtacles, Big O, and alot of other good shit, but Invader Zim was the best.

 

[Jursa]

Futurama definitely.

 

[ellie91]

Invader Zim - Firefly - Futurama - Arrested Development & The War AT Home.

wait a minute the war at home was cancelled no! i loved that show. Futurama obvs as well the movies just made me want more of it. i don't really know of that many shows that have been cancelled so there could be more that i would be upset about if i knew of their cancellation

 

[klarr]

invader zim!

 

[kawligia]

MST3K and Rome (HBO).

Soon, I will have to add Monk to the list.

 

[aswiftlytiltingreality]

firefly, angel, futurama...let's hope i don't have to add to this list in the near future.

Maybe there's something to be said though about good series bowing out before they get terrible and start jumping sharks. If I understand this right, in England, it's not unusual for a show to treat a season more like mini-series. Second seasons are viewed more as sequels. The greatest example would be Spaced (If you haven't watched the series, do.) Any Brits out there please correct me if I've garbled this.

 

[Noamuth]

Carnivàle on HBO. Instead they replaced it with stupid fucking Rome.

This. I was so damn pissed off when I found out that there was going to be no third season of Carnivàle.

 

[internutt]

Power Rangers. RPM is the final series.

Ah well, at least the original Japanese series is still going strong.

 

[Pseudonym2]

Global Frequency. They never even released the trailer after filming it. It was leaked early and received a positive response. So they canceled it. I must be missing something.

 

[[Gavo]]

Futurama.

 

[Benj17]

Ren and stimpy hands down

 

[letsnoobtehpwns]

Beavis and Butthead and Futurama.
