Shows you wish weren't cancelled

[Woodsey]

Aww, nards. Sorry for double-post.

Also, last season of Chuck is coming up next. SAD FACE.

Wait, Chuck is ending? Is it a story reason (I don't have cable, so I can't be up to date), because it was just renewed a few weeks ago. It's always on the bubble, but it consistently rates high enough to be brought back.

Well, its what I've heard after the next season is done. I would imagine it would be partly down to the writers, especially after the set up after of the last season's episodes that hinted at a Big Bad.

I kind of hope it doesn't go on any more after this. I love it, but knowing when to stop is important.

This wasn't perhaps inspired by the successful thread "Cartoons you wish weren't cancelled" was it?

I can't really think of one. I guess
-wait what?

Doraleous and Associates. Once you enter the Archives, there is not turning back.

Awww... thanks for the love, man. And my vote goes to "Frisky Dingo". That show was amazing.

So it was canceled then? Not just post-poned indefinitely? What happened to the other thing you guys were working on?

We're still working on the movie. If we have any say then Doraleous will eventually return. We love the series just as much as you guys.

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles

One of the best shows ever, senselessly murdered by death slot scheduling. I watched the whole thing 5 times in 2 years.

That's the one.
My God, you remember that Cromarty scene that had "When the Man Comes Around" playing over. One of the most awe-striking scenes I've ever witnessed in TV.

As far as musical scenes go, I prefer the second-to-last episode with him and Savannah singing Donald Where's Your Trousers.
Those 2-ish minutes right there are all the reason anyone needed to continue the show. And yet, they decided to make the world a sadder place...

The Riches.

I love me some Eddie Izzard.

Heroes

 

[Doti]

I know people here are a bit biased towards Sci-Fi shows, but it saddens me that no one has mentioned Veronica Mars. At least Deadwood and Terriers got a mention.

As for Heroes, as the show was, I'm actually glad it was cancelled. What I really wish they hadn't done was scraping the entire Season 2 storyline after the writers strike. I actually enjoyed that one way more than Season 1. It had enormous potential, IMO.

Time Warp on discovery. That was a great show and not quite sure why it got cancelled.

Ahh, Time Warp was cancelled? Granted, I haven't watched Discovery in a while, but I loved that show!

 

[Slash Dementia]

I recently started watching Firefly, and I'm just four episodes until the end. It saddened me that I don't have a second season to watch after it.

Other than that, I can't really think of any other show besides Yes, Dear--I don't even know if they did cancel that.

 

[Olorune]

Megas XLR and Sym-Biotic Titan.
Yeah, I know they're cartoons, but they were good cartoons, which are extremely hard to come by these days.

 

[Josh123914]

WOw I'm amazed no one's mentioned Invader Zim yet, I am disappoint Escapists

 

[Dragonclaw]

My Name Is Earl
Dead Like Me (yes, that movie was GARBAGE!)
Pushing Daisies
Transformers Animated
Clerks: The Animated Series
Dilbert
Invader Zim
V

 

[Hlain]

Used to be Futurama. Then it got back.

 

[rmb1983]

Most probably won't even know this one, as it only made it through a couple of episodes before NBC canned it:

Inside Schwartz.

It makes me so sad there's only three episodes for me to laugh with.

 

[lordlillen]

samurai jack, that show was awesome if anything it deserved a real ending.

 

[skot205]

In Justice.
I love that show, it only lasted 13 episodes.

 

[FC Groningen]

I agree with Rome. I really loved that show. Would have been perfect if it showed more massive battles in my opinion. Would have loved to see the fight between Ceasar and Pompeus.

Yet, I would wonder where the show would go next. After Augustus was made emperor, there wasn't much of interest.




*Spoilers?*








Also, after the death of Vorenus and Pullo getting his son out of Egypt, the serie pretty much closed off.

Arrested Development, I only heard about it late, seems marketing wasn't that good, but it's sad because it's really funny, but you can sense how it's being rushed towards the end.

I just watched this for the first time (and then from beginning to end!) on NetFlix live streaming! HOW DID I MISS THIS AWESOME SHOW?????

 

[SleepyChan]

Dead Like Me. My God, how I miss it. Oh, and Firefly, of course.

Arrested Development, I only heard about it late, seems marketing wasn't that good, but it's sad because it's really funny, but you can sense how it's being rushed towards the end.

Only heard about it about 2 month's back when it came on FX really good shame to hear it had such a limited run. Also Better off ted, not sure what the general opinion of this is but I really liked it.

You guys are freaking' me out here! After watching the entire series of AD on Netflix I randomly searched for something to fill the void - second up (and another show I never watched when it was on TV) - Better Off Ted!! Also amazing and I WISH WAS STILL ON.

Random fact, after watching these two shows I found a black widow spider which we captured and gave to a "spider guy" - we named her Portia (she reminded us especially of Portia's slick-haired, all business attitude on Ted... Unless, of course she was up to some magic tricks!).

Yes yes yes. So bizarre to see Cromardy (sp?) as a goof ball in Raising Hope now (although he is hilarious!)
