You have the power to bring back one cancelled TV show...
- Thread starter Strain42
- Start date
Firefly, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim, Ren and Stimpy. Pick one
and for an example of what I'm looking for in a "final episode" look at M*A*S*H, that show had a 2 1/2 hour finale and it was great.

Titus. My brother recently said that Mondern Family is "like Titus but better" which made me lose it. It's bad enough that everyone I know is in love with that stupid show but to claim that it's better than Titus is just wrong. For the good of society, Titus needs to be brought back. It was a great show that was still getting better when it was cancelled.
Community. I know its not official, but seriously NBC? You take my favorite show away and leave *cursey* *curse* Whitney? Seriously??? WHITNEY?!?!
Also, since most of my favorite toons are covered, Teen Titans too...
BUT DOES NO ONE REMEMBER DAVE THE BARBARIAN?
I loved that show.

My choice would have to be Dresden Files. I'm not huge into cop shows,but this has magic and I rate it as high as Firefly. And both of them got canceled after the first season because the executives didn't think character development was good for a show.
My choice would be Carnivale.
For those of you who couldn't be bothered in the earlier portion of the 2000s, Carnivale was a David Lynch-esque fantasy show on HBO. It took place during the depression in a dust bowl-era traveling circus. It had an extremely rich and complex mythology that was just really starting to unfold by the second season, and its writer/director had a planned story arc for an entire 6 seasons. His story had a conclusive end, a complete series of plot elements, and an already-conceived religion as its background. It was stark, grand yet minimalistic, well-acted, well-plotted, and well... cancelled.
It lasted 2 seasons, ended on a giant "What the fuck" cliffhanger, and got cancelled due to, unfortunately, ratings. No one has the patience for this kind of show, save for the gigantic and unsatisfying fluke that was Lost. I doubt it could have ever, in any circumstance, gained the kind of audience necessary to keep it airing for another four seasons, but honestly I'd give anything to see what they had planned.
So, there it is: Carnivale.
Or Firefly. Or Angel. But Carnivale first.

Robot Wars or Arrested Development (A proper revive not a handful of episodes 2 years from now)
This. Series that feature space exploration of any sort, like you know, SGU, to give a recent example.rayen020 said:
I understand that last statement may annoy some people such as whoever it was that posted the the long ramble that probably contained some muttering about how they perceive SGU as being some kind of abortion that should be shoved aside to make way for more Atlantis. Hint: that discussion's old now. Really old.
Oh, and no, you're not getting your Atlantis back. In fact, we're not getting our Stargate back at all. Well done, all you elitist types out there.
Sorry, I just get sick of the whole Universe/Atlantis "debate". Whatever, happened to "each to their own". I don't recall us having this much trouble with DS9 and Voyager. Of course, we didn't gave as much internet around back then as we do these days.
and you honestly expected something different from gianax? 
you did see the end of eva right( both the movie and the end of the show) thats pretty much what they do, with the exception of maybe gurren lagann that ended pretty concretely
