Shows cancelled too soon...

[SidVicious]

Spaced was a brilliant show. I don't think it was cancelled exactly, but they're not making any more episodes right now.

Also Firefly of course.

Farscape, sure it got a little bit spastic at the end but it was a pretty good show.

the BBC is good at ending shows before they get un-funny (The Office, Faulty Towers ect.) so it might have been for the best.

Did anyone watch Tripping the Rift??? I thought it was pretty good, but not really cancelled before it's time. Funny, but only a couple seasons worth of funny...

 

[NinjaSkills]

I'm gonna have to agree with Invader Zim and Samurai Jack but the biggest show that shouldn't have been canceled is...

Rurouni Kenshin

 

[Galaxialconda]

Futurama (even though its back now)
Firefy (obviousy)
Digimon
Black Books
Earthworm Jim
Bottom (it's a british comedy duo, as crude as possible. I'm not sure if it ever aired in the US)
Looney Tunes (they just don't make them like they used to)
Samurai Jack
Dexter's Labratory
Invader Zim

As you can tell from most of this list, I am extremely childish ^_^

Firefly obviously. Great show that didn't even get through it's first season.

Rurouni Kenshin

Rurouni Kenshin, like most animes, wasn't canceled, it was finished.

 

[Devil's Due]

Jericho. I miss that show. Right when it was getting to the good part.

 

[Jaythulhu]

2nd for American Gothic, and adding Brimstone and Jeremiah to the list, as well as Babylon 5 and Crusader.

Jericho. I miss that show. Right when it was getting to the good part.

As campy as that show was, I really liked it too! It had a really cool back-story as well.

 

[Reasonable Doubt]

Jericho. I miss that show. Right when it was getting to the good part.

I third Jericho what were they thinking to cancel the show right when they got the bomb.

 

[darktheif28]

what about Drawn Together that was funny

 

[Akula]

Don't watch much TV but Arrested Development was one of the few shows I enjoyed. Then they had to take it away from me.

Generation Kill: Mini-series but it was fucking awesome and I wish it was much longer.

Well, to be fair, at least Generation Kill finished its run. They only intended to make seven episodes. It wasn't like, say, Firefly or Season 3 of The Unit (Though, Season 3 of The Unit wasn't because the series had poor ratings, it was because of the damned writer's strike), which were canceled before the full run could finish, or Over There, which was canceled because the American public didn't want to see a show about the Iraq War yet back in 2005.

Arrested Development

This was what I thought of when I saw this thread. It's sad that the series only lasted three seasons. I will never forget the quote: "Don't leave your Uncle T-Bag hangin'!!" It's simply too funny a show to quote both in, and out of context.

Inv. Zim was on Cartoon Network I believe. It was a cartoon by the same guy who wrote the "Johny the Homicidal Maniac" Comics. IT was canceled after a much debated "pigs world" episode which depicted a reverse meat factory in which pigs ruled and humans were killed.

Ditto on Firefly.

I just wiki'd it, and it was on Nickelodeon, and first aired in March of 2001, which explains why I knew nothing about it (17 at the time).

17 is the age that invader zim appealed to the most.

Dilbert and Futurama best shows ever!

Dilbert was a great little cartoon.. the line I will always remember is when they did the blood drive, and they were disqualifying people.

Wally: "Please let me leave.. Please let me leave.. Please let me leave.."
Announcer: "Please leave now if you are, or have ever been.. Wally."
Wally: "Sweet! First one out again!"

 

[Devil's Due]

Jericho. I miss that show. Right when it was getting to the good part.

I third Jericho what were they thinking to cancel the show right when they got the bomb.

Agreed. The civil war began with freaking US jets dukin' it out between one another and then... *Canceled*
