If anybody ever cancels Supernatural (at least, before a GOOD series finale), I will hunt them and send them straight to hell.

RIP Moonlight.
Let's look at this:
Moonlight - A decent detective/vampire show that really came into it's own in the latter half of the season and had some great subplots that would have carried the show for a few years at least.
OR, the show they can canceled it for:
The Ex-List - A story about a girl (ridiculously named "Bella Bloom") who learns from a psychic at a bachelorette party that she has already met "Mr. Right." She then proceeds to hunt down and re-date every man she's ever dated.
Moonlight had it's faults, to be sure, but it really became interesting (not to mention ended on a cliffhanger). And The Ex-list lasted for a total of 5 episodes I believe.

Let's see, where to start? There are just soo many, most of which have already been listed in this thread. Stuff like Futurama, Firefly, Arrested Development, etc.
Pushing Daisies is probably at the top of my list. That show had everything. Love triangles, mystery, quirky humor, talking dead people. You name it. That cancellation can be laid at the feet of ABC and that go-to scapegoat for the past year that is the Writer's Strike.
As for everything else, well, Fox has a history of having a very strong aversion for anything it puts on that air that's actually, well, good. That's the best explanation I have to why they canceled something as popular as Firefly and Futurama. I'm actually surprised that they haven't canned House yet based on that theory. After all, how else is Fox going to make room on their network for such TV gems like (insert reality TV show here).

There was a movie? And it sucked?! What madness is this?!Erana said:
Ah, Moonlight. It started as an Angel ripoff, but quickly became much darker in tone. Whereas Angel had his no-kill rules, Mitch had no qualms killing if he thought it best solved his problems. Even his human love interest sent a man to his death for the crime of being a paparazzi. I thought the show was just starting to hits its stride when it was canceled. And it's a shame, especially since most supernatural-based shows need time to develop their audiences. Too bad no one seems willing to give them that time.wadark said:
It was "Mick" btw, lol. But seriously, I was upset when I heard about the cancellation. But at the same time, I wasn't totally shocked by it (See the rest of this thread). It wasn't until I read what was replacing Moonlight that I really got pissed. I can only hope that CBS sees the error come this summer and might revive it, but somehow...I doubt it.high_castle said:
Reaper might be cancelled(my favourite show), my second favourite Life has been cancelled. I am pissed, Life is a great show but NBC never advertised it. Reaper is on the CW which is pretty well a guarantee it wont last long unless it is a black 'comedy'.
Shows we needed to keep: Futurama, Firefly, Stargate SG-1, and MYSTERY F***ING SCIENCE THEATER 3000 - FULL STOP
I hope they don't cancel it anytime soon it's funny as hell and CW usually has stupid shows like Gossip and 90120 which means there's a good chance it might get canceledShapsters said:
See, this is what happens when I type without thinking. I knew it was Mick. Don't know why I typed Mitch. Oh well.wadark said:
Yeah, I never hold my breath for revivals. Jericho pulled it off, only to be canceled twice as fast. And I never watched that show they replaced Moonlight with, but the premise sounds pretty horrible. Why do so many female-centric shows revolve around finding the right man? Not all male leads need a romance plot, but it seems necessary for women. Don't networks know there's such a thing as happily single?
Damn you CW without sock it won't be the same and i thought that Scrubs was done that this was the last seasonShapsters said:
It's just stereotyping, "market research", and demography. The TV world loves and will forever defend its "statistics", and will stand by them long after the TV audience has naturally evolved. And like others have said, its all about instant gratification. They want money and they want it now. Networks don't think more than 1 season ahead, if even that. I was too young to know, but I wonder how popular the super-long-running shows like ER were in their first season.high_castle said:
I'm gonna have to go with Sarah Connor Chronicles and Jericho, even though Jericho got an 8 episode reprieve to keep people form sending CBS nuts in the mail every day you can tell by watching those episodes it was just a mad dash to tie up all the loose plot threads and end the series as quickly as possible.
Law and Order appeals to the most mysterious of demographic, "the little old people" demographic... first they had Matlock and now they have Law and Order.Avaholic03 said:
There's talks of Reaper being cancelled. On the day this happens, there will be murders.
Otherwise, all the shows I like, House, Lost, Dexter, South Park, Simpsons, Family Guy, American Dad, Two and a Half Men and some others are still going strong.
