Favorite Cancelled TV Show

[Siuki]

2000 was a great decade for animated cartoons, boasting shows like Dexter's Laboratory, Samurai Jack, Invader Zim, Ed, Edd, and Eddy, The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy, and countless other television shows. Sadly, they have been canceled and replaced with stuff like Flapjack, Back to the Barnyard, and a whole other bunch of crap, some live-action tween sitcoms.

tl;dr: What was your favorite canceled show of the decade?

Mine is Samurai Jack/The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy.

Samurai Jack is a story about, well, this [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jgDEmW9nlU]. Samurai Jack was scheduled for a movie to finish the series, but the movie never came.

The Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy was a hilarious animated cartoon about the Grim Reaper making and loosing a bet with two juvenile kids. One the evil and cold Mandy, the other the blundering idiot Billy. The bet that "Grim"(Who has a Caribbean accent) lost caused him to be their friend for eternity. He eventually bonds with them and they go on adventures together. Eventually, the show slowly faded from the Cartoon Network show list, but was remembered by those who watched it.

Firefly of course.

And I believe that will win this thread as it always does.

Jericho was mine. I especially liked the first season, when the show focused more on survival than anything else.

Invader Zim. Damn I miss the moose.

... The hell. You just took away every single one of my choices; Cartoon Network getting rid of all those great shows was just one stab to my childhood's gut one after another...

I'll just go ahead and say when they axed Toonami. I grew up on that and I loved it so.

Firefly of course.

Could you explain what the show was about all I know about it is that I never watched it.

Firefly is about space-cowboys, a psychic girl who is the victim of mental rape by the government, and Joss Whedon being a fool for dealing with Fox.

Pure awesomeness that's what

Seriously though, it's about a group of futuristic space pirates basically mixed with heavy Japanese culture and a bit of wild western themes.

Just watch it.

Too right mate. I saw the last broadcast of Toonami, and that was when I began to watch TV less and lees.

Clone High. Everyone here who likes humour should go watch all 13 episodes now. It was a great show, but too many Indian people complained about the clone of Gandhi. Even though it's said (in the first episode, I believe) that Gandhi 2 is a good example of how the cloning process sometimes creates the opposite of the actual person's character.

mine would be futurama. it was way before its time. thank god its finally coming back. just hope it doesn't go the way of family guy after it came back

 

[StarkillerisDead]

Invasion.Brilliant scifi but it never got any exposure because it involved a cyclone and came out about the same time as katrina.

 

[Debatra]

Samurai Jack, Invader Zim and they should have given Cavemen a decent shot.

Was this before or after they went to saturday nights, and just showed fail shows like Naruto and Bleach? Cause I remember, when it was on during the week, and before they changed Tom up, AND there was actual good anime, like Mobile Fighter G-Gundam, Yu Yu Hakashu, and all those.
