Add me, too! :] I was absolutely in love with Olive- Kirsten Chenoweth is amazing, and the whole basic premise of the show was so original and fresh. I'm tired of seeing all of the same murder mystery shows on air. [Suddenly remembers that Lie To Me is on tomorrow] Aw, yeah!- ..oh.
Well, Lie To Me is completely different, because he detects lies... n stuff.

Courage the Cowardly Dog, and all the shows made by Genndy Tartakovsky. Oh and Firefly, because that show was ultra bad ass.
Courage the Cowardly Dog still plays though. Cartoon Network has it on from time to time. Not sure if they are all the same eps, but it still plays...

Rocko's Modern Life was awesome. Really miss it sometimes .. D=

Futurama, though it is returning.
This.


To make myself feel like I have actually contributed something,
I will leave you all with this:


"The itsy bitsy spider,
Went up the water spout,
Down came the rain and
washed the spider out,
Then came the sun and
dried up all the rain,
while the itsy bitsy
spider went up the spout again."

Thank you and good night.

The Tick, 1 series about 8 episodes, only 7 aired, it was so bleeding funny
Agreed the funniest cartoon i have ever seen in my life, the most oblivious jokes ever with one of the funniest ideas for a hero. I dont know why they took it off...you know what? we should make an evil mod hate mail the crap out of the service providers that took the Tic off air until they put it back.

My Own Worst Enemy
The War at Home
My Own Worst Enemy deserved to get thrown out the window. The War at Home I did enjoy.
The show I thought was dynamite, but only lasted one season was Freaks & Geeks.

Plenty of them. Traveler was great, Moonlight was great, and Fringe was great.
But then American Idol had to be two hours and Fringe just disappeared...It was looking to be a great show to, as only about three episodes aired...
I'm most pissed that Traveler got canceled though.
Fringe was just on break. It will be back in a few weeks. But to name a few TV shows that got the short end of the stick. . . . .

*Firefly - Great show that suffered from the network not being behind it and not being able to capture a mainstream audience.

*Moonlight - Another great show that despite being on Friday night did great ratings but high production costs combined with the writers strike and a lack of backing by CBS were just too much for it to overcome.

*Arrested Development - Honestly I dont know why this isnt still on . . . .

*Life on Mars (US) - A show that started out slow and never was able to recover even with possibly the best cast on TV.

*Kindred: The Embraced: - Good show, but when your leading actor gets hit by a bus (or something equally deadly) between seasons it makes for a difficult time.

*The Riches - Another superb show falling victim to the recent writers strike.

*Jericho - Interesting show that was never given the time needed to catch on and was sadly canceled . . . .twice

I'm going to go WAAAAAAAAY back and say the Fox show, "Inside Herman's Head". Man I remember watching that and laughing my ass off. Plus it had Yeardley Smith, the voice of Lisa Simpson, and Hank Azaria, the voice of many of the Simpsons minor characters. Link to the Wiki below:

Both Titus and Arrested Development got canceled after about 1.5 seasons.

Both were very funny and well written.

I miss them...
Well, Arrested Development made it two and a half seasons. But I have to agree with the sentiment, as well as the Firefly sentiment. I'm not sure Futurama could be considered a failure, as it did go four seasons. I'm also leary of a return, but that's because of what happened with Family Guy and the fact that The Simpsons hasn't been funny in probably a decade.

I really want to say The 4400, but it did make it four seasons. Then again, they weren't ever full seasons. Also, it got canceled right after the most amazing end to season 4. Great way to end a season. Fucking terrible way to end an entire show.

Also, The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr. was a fantastic show. I don't remember if it failed or how long it aired, but it was so much fun.

How about Undeclared? Another Not-Even-An-Entire-Season show.

Either Special Unit 2 or Freedom. Both shows were awesome for the short time they were on the air.

I can't believe that Smash Lab had such a short life. With a name like that you would think it could go on forever.
