Firefly
Stargate Universe
Breaking In
Freakizoid
The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
Jack of All Trades
Conquest
Civil War Combat
Battle 360
Decisive Battles
Terriers
Human Target
Dresden Files - Even though it didn't follow the same story of the books(which pissed me off). If taken as a new universe it wasn't bad although more magic would have been nice.

Freaks and geeks! Has anyone seen it? It only lasted one season and that was it!! Great cast, Seth rogen, James Franco, Jason segal and others
for me it would be Hogan's hero's. I know alot of people don't like it because of controversy, but I think it was an awsome show that ended much erlier than it should have.
I'm glad to see Farscape getting some recognition, that one ended way before it's time. Though The Peacekeeper Wars was a good send off for the series.
I was really upset about Stargate Universe's cancellation, I was really enjoying that series. Personally I couldn't stand Stargate Atlantis, I thought it was a poor photocopy of SG-1 but with worse characters. SGU was something new to the franchise which it was it desperately needed. Sadly for them MGM's financial issues and SyFy's idiotic scheduling killed that show.
Caprica was another one I was thoroughly enjoying, it was a bit slow to start with, but the last 10 episodes after the break were fantastic. Also, the music was really really good.
Others I was sad to see include, FlashForward, Wonderfalls and Threshold.

Another vote for Firefly
Also:
The Tick (cartoon)
3rd Rock From the Sun
Let me just quote a show that was cancelled twice:
"We've just got to accept the fact that Fox has to make room for terrific shows like Dark Angel, Titus, Undeclared, Action, That 80s Show, Wonderfalls, Fastlane, Andy Richter Controls the Universe, Skin, Girls Club, Cracking Up, The Pitts, Firefly, Get Real, FreakyLinks, Wanda At Large, Costello, The Lone Gunmen, A Minute with Stan Hooper, Normal Ohio, Pasadena, Harsh Realm, Keen Eddie, The Street, American Embassy, Cedric the Entertainer, The Tick, Louie, and Greg the Bunny."

Firefly, obviously, but other than that I would say The Cape. Mostly because it was about a superhero acting like a super hero. Oh and it had Keith David and Summer Glau in it, can't go wrong there.
Also has anyone else noticed that Summer Glau is like a kiss of death to a show?

Wierd, I've seen people mention Black Books and Blackadder. Neither of which were cancelled, they were ended by the people who made them (Blackadder ended on arguably the best episode of all 4 series, Black Books would have probably stagnated if another series was made).
Firefly should have continued, there was so much potential there.
Futurama shouldn't have been cancelled, but bringing it back has ruined the entire character of Bender. I don't think that would have happened if it had flowed into a fifth series properly.
Father Ted, technically this was meant to end after 3 series even before the main actor died but all the best episodes were in series 3 and 4 would have probably kept near that high point.
Invader Zim as well, I like to think of the first 2 Destroy all humans! games as spiritual successors.
Edit: Just saw it in the family guy quote above.
Lone Gunman, as a spin off it was amazing and should have kept going, shame that a revival is made highly unlikely by events in the X-Files.
