Favorite canceled TV shows

[Ares Tyr]

I consider M*A*S*H to have been cancelled after the third season. After that it just went downhill...I cried when Henry died...

And most every cancelled TV show on G4 (back when it was Tech TV)

I remember the show "Portal" where they dubbed over MMORPGs machinima style. It was kinda fun to watch, though often weird. It could definetly be done better today.

I don't see why G4 doesn't have a machinima series to begin with.

Does anyone else remember Andy Richter controls the Universe? I thought that was the funniest thing I'd ever seen.

Apologies if you hated it or have no idea what I'm talking about.

I remember that, and funnily enough, I was probably the only one I know who liked it too. Guess that was kind of telling, huh?

While I'm sad that Titus was canceled, I do see that Christopher Titus is still doing stand-up, so I won't complain. Too much. I mean yes, his material is great, but the way his show presented it was just amazing.

I watched both of these and I agree on both.

Ahaha, I didn't look at the above responses

Joan of Arcadia was good. Even if I never really watched it regularly, it still had a plot better than most of what's on today.

Another Firefly vote, another Arrested Development vote, and a cote for Special Unit 2

Firefly, Farscape, Dead Like Me, Futurama...so much awesomeness cut down before its time.

The 1990's X-Men cartoon series (even though it got more than a little ridiculous).

Oh...and Who Wants to Be a Superhero?...I loved that crap and was all kinds of sad when it didn't get picked up for a third season.

This may not technically be a cancellation, but I was mighty pissed when Heroes got hit by the strike and decided not to do the mid-season one-shot episodes they were pimping left and right. Sure, they might have been crap, but I still wanted to see them.

.

I still remember the dope ass theme song for that show. Also Omega Red was the epitomy of evil. It was like the closest thing America had to anime back then (until Batman: The Animated Series came along and stole best American animated series ever).

I still remember getting in trouble for repeatedly yelling, "Bullshit!" during the Phoenix Saga episodes.

I have a few episodes on VHS somewhere from a random Pizza Hut promo. It might be time to clean out the closet and revel in the 90's awesomeness.

 

[DreamKing]

Invader Zim, Rocko's Modern Life, Angry Beavers, the X-Men cartoon series, the 90's Batman cartoons, and Megas XLR.

Luuuuucky.

The Tick, live action series. Quite possibly the funniest thing ever made in the history of everything ever.

Sample Dialogue:

[in a violent battle with a bus station coffee machine]
The Tick: Armless bandit... Empty your bladder of that bitter black urine men call coffee! It has its price and its price has been paid! Java devil, you are now my *****.

The Tick: Owwwww! My head feels like it's... like it's gunna have a baby.
Arthur: It's called a headache.
The Tick: It has a name?

The Tick: Gravity is a harsh mistress.

The Tick: [giving a eulogy] Death. The eternal blink. The capricious dance of Now You Stop Moving Forever. Well, contrary to popular belief, death isn't just for dead people. It can happen to anyone. I know, it's news to me too. And it's not just people either, it's all kinds of stuff. Horses, fiddler crabs. Did you know that even a potato... can die?

Seriously, you have to watch this show. Here's a link: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xw_9QXBIYO4&feature=related

Well, what are you waiting for? Go watch!

[Obligatory mourning for Firefly and Invader Zim]

And I guess you'd have to technically call it stillborn, but has anyone seen the pilot for The Amazing Screw-On Head? That would've been an awesome show...

 

[mjolnir_babe]

Aside from the obvious Firefly...

I'd have to go with Rome, Wonderfalls and Dead Like Me.

but Rome wasnt really cancelled, it just ended. but it was excellent.

i'm gonna have to go with Invader Zim for now. stoopid nickelodeon

 

[Noznin]

i want to see the series from HBO Carnivale finished... it was canned after the second season.
Also the series Brimstone was killed way too early. Was about a cop that was sent to hell for killing his wifes murderer. When some of the baddest souls escaped hell, the devil offered him a deal to catch them all for his freedom.

 

[Eiseman]

Can't help but notice we've listed a bunch of FOX shows. Firefly, Dark Angel, The Tick, Titus, Andy Richter, Brimstone, Wonderfalls...

Hm, guess it's just a crazy coincidence.

[REDH4MMER]

What the hell!!!

Why has no one said Deadwood? One of the very best TV shows I've ever seen!

 

[Shadowtek]

futurama, dark angel, the red green show, and a few others i cant remember right now.

 

[lukemdizzle]

Seinfeld.

 

[the monopoly guy]

Oh, how I loved The Red Green show. I fell in love with Duct Tape all over again.

I don't see why G4 doesn't have a machinima series to begin with.

The adventures of Secret Agent Bob and Special Agent Steve, the Finest Offical, Unnoficial Splinter Cells.

 

[lukemdizzle]

O and invader zim, almost forgot that one
