Favorite Cancelled TV Show

[Chaya]

John Doe anyone?

 

[aaronmcc]

Firefly of course.

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

No chance! Veronica Mars, hands down. Even Joss Whedon said it was the best show on tv.

 

[aaronmcc]

Well, I suppose Married with Children was on long enough, so lets go with something cut down in it's youth; Dead Like Me.

I thought this one was being resurrected? Please don't disappoint me...

Mmm, all I can find was this: "A direct-to-DVD movie entitled Dead Like Me: Life After Death was released on February 17, 2009, with an option to restart the series."

I watched the tv movie come back and it was terrible, although callum blue and ellen muth were still awesome.

Life.

Fantastic cop drama with a great conspiracy plot beng expanded every episode.

At least it got a decent ending as the writers knew they were getting axed. Definitely one of my favorite storyline conclusions of all time :')

Oh I didn't like the romance thing, that ruined a great story for me. Part of what made Life great was the non-sexual-tension relationship of Crews and Reese. Life shouldn't have been canceled though.

Mmm, true. Crews and Reese should have stayed separate. They pretty much had in almost every episode before the final one... Personally I liked the relationship Reese had with Tidwell though. It wasn't anything serious and unlike so many shows the relationship wasn't a main focus of the story and, more importantly, it didn't feel forced.

The one thing that hurts the most about the show being canned though is...

...no more Ted :'(

Oh, yea. Whatever that... thing is, it's not Tom. I don't know when or why they changed into that but I know that was far beyond the death of Toonami. I think that thing was Cartoon Networks' attempt to keep Toonami alive... and failing miserably. I saw only 1 of those things and had had enough.

Amen!

I completely grew up on Toonami anime, so the highlight of my Friday/Saturday night was sitting down to watch Rurouni Kenshin, or Gundam Wing, or Yu Yu Hakusho, or one of the dozens of other good anime they aired. As soon as they stopped airing the good stuff, I switched to the Internet and DVDs to get my anime fix and haven't gone back.

I was a tad late to the game, actually. I was sticking with Toonami for a while, even through Naruto and his horrid catch phrase (Which shouldn't have ever even existed, dammit!) until late into that anime I had a good buddy from Guild Wars finally convince me that Sub are always better than Dubs. I was hesitant at first, and the topic is heavily debatable, but I've found that factoid to be completely true and it's allowed me access to so many animes I would have never gotten the opportunity to enjoy otherwise.

I thank you, Jeff; without whom I wouldn't be the anime lover I am today.

 

[DRTJR]

In no particular order

1. Fire fly
2. Star Trek (Original recipe)
3. Megas XLR
4. Toonami in general

 

[ENKC]

Arrested Development. It was already among the best written and performed shows conceivably possible. If it had managed to get even four full seasons instead of two and a half, the world at large would have been done a tremendous service.

 

[Two Angels]

Reaper & The Loop are two shows that I wish could have been run out a bit more.

 

[smeghead25]

Well there was this great show...

But it had problems. After 7 seasons the creators had issues and production stopped.

An 8th season finally got broadcast. A movie was soon to follow on from the cliffhanger ending of the 8th season. Props had been made, a script was ready...

Then the BBC shelved Red Dwarf.

Then finally, last year, Back to Earth was broadcast! A 3-parter version of the canned movie.

So it eventually got there but it was sad that it was canned. And even now it's not official other than rumours that the scripts were commissioned after B2E. Please please PLEASE correct me if I'm wrong but this one's a goner too isn't it...

 

[The Zango]

I was pissed when they canceled Familiy guy but thats back now. Was Friends cancelled or did they just stop? Because if it was cancelled then Friends.

 

[vomov]

Um... Firefly? Why they cancelled that beats me. When the ratings are going UP, what do we do? KILL IT!
Besides that, Dead like me. And Threshold; there was some real potential there!

I would say futurama, but after seeing the first movie they made I might reconsider that this would be a strategic move for them. Also: ground executive powder for all your ails!

 

[Azaradel]

Star Trek: Enterprise

Dammit, I'm really the only one?

 

[ethaninja]

Firefly of course.

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

Shyep. Everything is and always will be Firefly when it comes to favourite cancelled TV shows =)

Yes and yes. I think the reason Firefly got cancelled was because FOX (the stodgy bastards that are ALWAYS the problem and never the solution) got their times or some shit fucked up. Thats what I heard anyway. Some people say it was because it wasn't good enough but I say they can go directly to hell =)

 

[Christopher Waldron]

My Name is Earl, I loved that show.

 

[Flauros]

Anybody here remember Brimstone? No? fine...

Angel...even though it kind deserved it for becoming Angel: Vampire Lawyer

And invader zim, yes.

Batman. The Animated Series
Justice League (also unlimited)
Too early to say Lost? As if i was going to anyway....

Forgot angel there

And isn't lost going towards a planned ending?

 

[Yumi_and_Erea]

Firefly, and to a lesser extent Futurama.

 

[SoranMBane]

Invader Zim, and I was also quite partial to the Tremors tv series. After all, can you really get enough Burt Gummer? I don't think so.

 

[Mr.Black]

Firefly, Arrested Development, Futurama (It was cancelled, right?).
