What if your favorite series was cancelled?

[wolf92]

well firefly was cancelled
But if Dr. Who was cancelled right now, I'd have to kill something

 

[Jonluw]

I have no idea how I would react. I don't really have series I'm bonded to that much. I guess I could modify the question to say "What if I was forced to stop watching my favourite anime midway through?".

Nope, still no idea how I'd react. I'd probably be angry and sad for a little while and then get on with my life.

Of my current favourites, Top Gear is of finite length anyway (I think it'll be gone in a few years, they'll probably make it to series 20 then stop)

They must never stop making Top Gear, it gives me a "fizzy feeling in a special place". [SUB]Cookie for reference.[/SUB]

Also, if Burn Notice would ever get cancelled, I'd probably go out and murder someone.

Firefly was a good series, though it should of gone for at LEAST as long as Farscape. At least Firefly didn't get the crappy "movie" at the end.

Also at least Firely didn't have time to 'jump the shark'. I know I'll get hate for this, but I lost track of Farscape for a while, and tried to come back into it on the final season. Everything was turned upside down, and it seemed a parody of it's earlier self.

It was. Firefly.

I was sad, but... The world didn't end. House and Bones are good, but Firefly was genius... Fucking Fox Network

I have to say...I love everything about this post...and its the first one.

Way to not waste anytime Celtic.

I too adore Bones and House but ... it's just not Firefly.

At least we still have the comics...Now If you'll excuse me I'm going to go cry.

 

[Breaker deGodot]

Well, both Cowboy Bebop and Columbo ended, so you might say I'm a magnet for this sort of thing.

I really liked firefly, but that being said, how many people who love it actually watched it on TV? I didn't, I bought the DVD Set, which unfortunately doesn't affect ratings.

 

[Phenns]

It already has been... Invader Zim.
I miss it so much...

I know I didn't, although I love it now.

I didn't even know it existed when it WAS on, I try NOT to watch a lot of Fox.

 

[Jaranja]

If How I Met Your Mother, House, The IT Crowd, The Big Bang Theory and Doctor Who were all cancelled, I would probably jump off a bridge.

I think House is finished...

The DVD boxed sets don't come out at the SAME TIME a show is airing. it's usually released the next season. THe show was already cancelled by the time the DVDs came out and there WAS a shining fanbase at the time. The cancellation was announced about 3/4 of the way through the show, so EVERYONE watched it on TV back then...

 

[therookie95]

Already it has been, Ed Edd and Eddy is gone, and it'll never come back, there are reruns but it'll never be the same, i'm going to cry now.

 

[avelmen1889]

await a film adaptation writen and directed by the original writer and director (
*cough* Joss *cough* to finish the series. oh wait...serenity. nevermind

 

[Ickorus]

I've seen this thread before but i'll reply again.

Heroes has been cancelled, I know it got a bit slow and there may have been a bit too much talking but it was still a damn good show.

You misunderstand me.

I mean how many people did not watch it on TV but only heard of it and saw it through the DVD sets after it was canceled. I did not mean to suggest that there were multiple ways of seeing it, just that some of us completely missed out on it while it was on TV.

 

[silver wolf009]

Everyday i wish with my soul for courage the cowardly dog to come back. It never will but still how i try. I think that if doctor who or Eureka was canncelled i would cancel my tv service.

 

[icyneesan]

Well... my favourite long running series is probably Pokemon... and if that got canceled i'd probably go

"The hell? How is that even possible?"

Then I'd kill myself because in any world were a company cancels a huge money maker like that... hell I'd kill myself just because there arnt any more pokemon games :|

I was one of the people watchign it when it first came out. I remember being a member of many forum sites and there was huge demand for it. Fox didn't cancel it because they thought no one was watching it. They cancelled it because they wanted to replace the prime-time slot with something they thought would do even better, but the replacement show bombed

 

[ArchAngelKira]

I go watch the rest on youtube or some other site.

Fox makes stupid decisions, but hopefully another network will someday revive it, like CC did to Futurama. I was excited to see the cast play a part in Halo ODST.
