Popular, the first show by Ryan Murphy (y'know, the Glee guy). Brilliant, subversive, cancelled right after a character got hit by a car. Nice work, The WB. Especially since you specifically said you were giving it another season.

As already mentioned, Carnivale. I haven't started Deadwood yet because of the emptiness that is sure to follow...

Invader Zim. I absolutely adore the show and its absence from television is a travesty of modern media. Also, GIR.
Yeah, I must agree. That show did so well, had a big fan-base sensation and the episodes never let me down. Each one was hilarious and the cartoon itself was unique from all the other cartoons. Makes me literally sad that it had to go like that, and worst of all is that I have no idea why they took it down for.. *sigh* .. We'll miss you GIR.

<spoiler=GIR>
I've heard that it had something to do with the cost of making it, An average episode of Invader Zim cost about 500,000 Dollars due to it being one of Nick's first shows that used a mix of 2D and 3D animation.

I don't have any sources, it's just something I've heard.

I'd almost completely forgotten that show. Thank you for reminding me. I couldn't agree more.
Also, Chowder.

Stargate Universe. Hasn't been cut yet but it has been announced.
That show is awesome.
That show is absolute drivel. It is the Matrix sequels of the Stargate world. The only downside to it being cancelled is the fact that it was funding the Atlantis movie. I would say it's the worst thing to come out of the franchise, but... Infinity [http://epguides.com/StargateInfinity/cast.jpg].

Firefly definitely tops the list.
And even though it was a very long running show, I was sad to see SG-1 go. It was still going strong when it ended.
Not that I watched it, but isn't that a good thing? I like when shows have a healthy run and end well before the inevitable quality drop. If only Scrubs had done the same... season 8's ending was fantastic. The ONLY part of season 9 I liked was Drew.

OT: Futurama, though they brought it back, and I think they've renewed it for another season.

Such a great American mech cartoon. It was targeted at kids but the great characters and mature story made it popular for all ages.

The gist is humans created a superior slave race (neo-sapiens) that rebelled and conquered the solar system and a group of humans is trying rebel from their former slaves. There's a lack of black and white between the factions keeping it interesting.

Blame Stargate Universe, they canceled Atlantis because they thought SGU would do better. They F-ed up big time with SGU. The stupid little angsty space soap opera.

And then they put the planned Stargate Atlantis movie on indefinite hiatus because Stargate Universe got cancelled. Good business sense there.
