Good Shows That Didnt Last Long

[ZaCloud]

Zoids would be my pick since it was on before Toonami went to pot.

Anime isn't just on Toonami... it originally comes from Japan, un-butchered.

I know but unless you understand Japanese your kinda screwed when you want to watch the un-butchered version.

If you can read internets, you can read subtitles.

Megas XLR, why must the good shows die young?

First post, damn. Usually Firefly gets mentioned second or third down.

But yes, Firefly. Goddamn Fox...

Night Gallery.

I'm too young to have been around when it first premiered (1969, I was born 1988), but I have seen it on DVD when my cousin brought back the 1st season box set after a visit to the US, and I was amazed. It was well written, scary and always kept you on your feet, plus it was narrated by Rod Serling himself, who, if you've seen Twilight Zone, is THE penultimate horror anthology narrator, second maybe to Alfred Hitchcock only. It lasted 3 seasons and ended in 1973, but from what I can tell, was a good run all throughout.

Here we go...

Firefly
Undergrads
Futurama
Arrested development
Clone High
Invader Zim

(i'll leave it at that or i'll get ranting) =D

Futurama was great

 

[similar.squirrel]

Black Books. But that's probably a good thing. Makes it all the more precious.

I think everything I wanted to say has been said... Firefly, Invader Zim, Reaper, Sarah Connor Chronicles... would say Futurama if that wasn't coming back.

Firefly's the main one though - it was fantastic, and they killed it after 14 episodes. Just not fair at all. The film would have been some consolation if it hadn't forced them to try to wrap up the plotlines they had planned so quickly. If by some glorious longshot they ever brought it back as a series they'd have the sticky question of whether to count Serenity as canonical, or carry on as previously planned.

Moot point given the whole cancellation thing though.

Hellsing and Firefly.

Tosh.0 was one show I suspected was going to end soon, but it ended up doing really good

 

[Wakefield]

Clone High, Undergrads,

but most of all Firefly

 

[Erja_Perttu]

Too all who said Firefly, I agree.

Invader Zim,
Earthworm Jim
Futurama

I'd really liked to have seen what they would have done with Angel Sanctuary had they done more than three episodes. That could hav been interesting.

What he said.

Futurama

You do know it's coming back, right? Same voice actors and everything.

One show that I wish that they would have continued was Time Squad. I really loved that show and now I can't find it anywhere.

 

[Artemis923]

Berserk. I really liked that anime but unfortunately it stopped at 25 episodes and just when shit was getting intense as well.

Ugh, I wanted to STRANGLE whoever thought of that ending.

OT, Korgoth of Barbaria immediately comes to mind.

That wasn't really the ending though, they just stopped making episodes and left it there. The manga is still going though.

 

[Bob_Marley42]

Fawlty Towers.

But, much like the Young Ones, 12 episodes was enough.

What you talkin bout Willis?

The Young Ones deserved more than 12 episodes
