Favorite Cancelled TV Show

[Deofuta]

Star Trek Deep Space Nine...

...What!?! It was easily the best series of Star Trek, too bad nobody saw it!

 

[wolf thing]

war planet shadow raiders, it was bad ass

 

[ClunkiestTurtle]

Anyone ever watch dirty Sexy Money? or Pushing up Daisies?

These were pretty great original shows that got canceled after like their first seasons in the US so they just kind of disappeared from UK screens without even showing all the episodes which pissed me off!!

 

[gally912]

Firefly, Arrested Development, ROME,

and Fastlane.

Yeah, that show was awesome in a campy way.

 

[Vampire cat]

I still weep cause they cut the final seasons of Stargate SG1 short =(.

From the 90s it's Brimstone and Harsh Realm for me. I bring them up because I finally saw them after they were both canceled. Fox still hasn't released Brimstone on DVD... the bastards. Babylon 5 is from the same era as well. Crusade which like Brimstone and Harsh Realm never had the chance to get off the ground.

From 2000s Buffy the Vampire Slayer and of course Angel. Battlestar Galactica (the new one). Dark Angel. (ended on a cliffhanger!) Terminator Sarah Connor Chronicles. Teen Titans!

Witchblade is either from the 90s or early 2000s, not sure.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine...

...What!?! It was easily the best series of Star Trek, too bad nobody saw it!

WHAT? Star Trek Deep Space Nine lasted seven years! Clearly someone was watching it. Star Trek Enterprise was the one no one watched.

Babylon 5 even though it wasn't really canceled it just ran its course.

 

[Mariakitten]

Firefly of course, oh and M*A*S*H (but that just ended, it wasn't cancelled).

 

[Dumbfish1]

Firefly of course.

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

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

:0 !!!! Only the best show ever created. It's basically a western themed space action drama. No wait I've not done it justice.

My Name is Earl was great. I was really sad when they cancelled it.

 

[John Smyth]

Firefly of course.

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

when I saw the title of this thread I just assumed this would be the only response repeated 200 odd times.
What should be considered is why it is that 8 years on people immediately give this response, whether its due to an actual love of the show or due absent minded fanboyism giving an automated response.

I feel the reason that firefly is so often given as a response is simply due to the fact that it is fr#*$!ng awesome.

Star Trek Deep Space Nine...

...What!?! It was easily the best series of Star Trek, too bad nobody saw it!

But DS9 wasn't cancelled - Enterprise and the original series were the only Star Trek series to get cancelled before the producers could finish them.

Though yes, DS9 was the best one.

Futurama is coming back in June on Comedy Central!
http://www.comedycentral.com/shows/futurama/index.jhtml

The catch is though that none of the voice actors are returning. They have to re-tool the whole series. the first episode is called "Rebirth" or something like that and it involves all the characters being reborn as new characters with different voice actors.

Last I heard, they all signed back on with 20th Century Fox.

[ImSkeletor]

My Name Is Earl

Same here. THat show was hilarious.

 

[LANCE420]

Firefly of course.

I'd love to know where this meme came from. Whedon loved Firefly and had no plans to leave or cancel it (from numerous interviews). F*X screwed him over, as ever, and ruined the show by running it in the wrong order.

Yeah, *sure* he did. Most series get picked up again even with small profit ratios(Star Trek TNG for example). Fox would have loved it if had stayed on. It made them money. Nah, I don't think it's so simple as Fox not liking it...

Joss Whedon wanted it to be a movie, not a show. His intention was for it to be a miniseries to last him in between TV shows, Buffy and whatever crap he made afterwards.

P.S. Watch Lexx, it's better.

 

[Kalado]

Reaper and OC California where cancelled.

Shows im sad ended: King of Queens.

And also Futurama but they may start again this year, yay.

 

[Giantcain]

Clangers loved those days and bagpuss would still watch em both now even though im 16 (also barney scared me)
