I was a big fan of Reaper and that got cancelled after 2 seasons.I enjoyed it, was something a bit different with good characters, although not many people I knew watched it.

Another show, although I wasn't exactly 'upset' it was cancelled was The Event. It only ran for a season had loads of plot twists and turns that could have been good. I'm mainly annoyed because my girlfriend loved it and made me watch it with her and I spent all that time trying to work out what was going on, only to realise...I shall never find out.

Seriously, it's very strange. The last series was absolute smeg, and it looked like it was really the end for the show, but out of the blue pops up this trailer for a new series, and it looks fantastic!

That cheered me right the fuck up after an awful day :') Let's be friends.

But yes, Red Dwarf and Rome.

I've been keeping an eye out ever since I read an interview with Craig where he talked about it... supposedly it's coming to Dave in October =D

Mission Hill.
Damn you The WB for dropping the ball on a great animated series.
It Took THREE FUCKING PAGES for someone to say this? Seriously, that's got to be one of my favorite animated series of all time.

Space Above and Beyond. Everyone remembers Firefly, but not this 90's military sci-fi gem(also axed by Fox, curse their name). It got a full season, and i love it more every time I watch it.

While it wasn't exactly cancelled, Angel Beats was originally supposed to be 26 episodes, rather than 13. It's a shame, really; only a couple of the characters got their day in the spotlight, but it seemed like most, if not all, of them would have one.

It was still great, though.

Rome. Times a million. That series was absolutely great and only got two seasons because of the outlandish budget.

Definately not (see post 53 :) ) the way they ended it was soooo bad. Clearly everyone thought the show was coming back....and now that pretty much everyone is unemployed again seems like a great time for a comeback :)

It is a shame that My name is Earl ended. However I would recommend a show called Raising Hope if you aren't already aware of it. Greg Garcia is the executive producer of both shows and Raising Hope has the same kind of blue collar humour as My Name is Earl. Greeg Blinky (Kenney) is a major recurring character in it and the actors who blame Randy and Joy have a couple appearances and a few other supporting cast members of My Name Earl show up in a few cameos. Also there is talk of a movie with Jason Lee saying last October he was in talks for one but I don't know about anything more recent.

Also I want to say ReBoot. I can't believe it took someone three pages to say that show. especially with that cliff hanger. I mean I don't need another fifty episodes but come on. At least let them resolve that bloody cliffhanger.

Also I've seen a couple of things posted like Zoids and Teen Titans that I'm pretty sure got resolved endings to.

I just watched the season 3 finale of the brilliant detective/comedy series Bored to Death and interested as to when I could expect to see the next instalment of one of my favourite shows I googled it and found out that even though the writer was promising season 4 would be the biggest and best season HBO cancelled it late last year while continuing the creation of ailing franchise Enlightened. Bored to death had Zach Galifinkas, Ted Danson and Jason Shwartzman, it was delightful as well as critically acclaimed and while the views were not brilliant I'm still slightly baffled by the cancellation. The cancellation did however prompt me to ask this question: Escapists what T.V./film/game series do you think ended before it's time? Alternatively what series do you think has gone on longer than it should of?
With very little doubt, Mass Effect. I think they realised that the number of plot points was getting enormous, that they had bit off more than they could chew, and tried to end this amazing universe as soon as possible, but throw out a few DLC to keep it going without having to program huge numbers of plot points.

The universe was absolutely amazing, and could have been far more than what it was. I, and many others, are devestated that it has come to an end. The series could have become a greater cultural phenomenon than Star Wars or even Star Trek, but many people haven't even heard of it.

To be honest, I've had many horrible things happen to me that most people cannot relate to, but the end of Mass Effect actually feels like one of the biggest disappointments of my life. I really can't put it into words, just that the universe was truly real for me. I felt like I was a part of that world, and that world was going to incredible places. And then it just ended. My mother said I looked "stunned" on the day after I played the original ending, something she certainly hasn't said before.

I feel like I need a Mass Effect Has Ended Support Group. Maybe I'll make one.
