Ha, I knew instantly when i came into this thread everyone would get teary eyed about Firefly.
Damn, what a brilliant show...
Actually the only show I loved that I thought wasn't too short or too long was Full metal alchemist. It was the only show I really loved after Firefly too...

Seeing as this thread is already three pages long, I can safely guess you where already given at least 10 different tv shoes that have already been canceled as examples.
I know, but I think it's popularity was waining at the time due to the producer's dislike of the show and the subsequent placing of the show opposite Corrination Street on ITV. As a result, ratings dropped and so was the show.Awesomeforthemasses said:
Also, You forgot to mention Paul McGann's brief tenure as the Doctor in the 1996 movie, which was also a backdoor pilot for a new series (a revival didn't happen at the time).
Unfortunately the first season of Sliders ended. I shed a tear, then watched Pokemon till it got weird.
Well, first of all, if Mass Effect was canceled before ME 3, I might go on a killing rampage or something. I don't know, I'd probably be a mess. But I don't have to worry, 'cause they're already working on ME 3 as we speak.
And Red vs Blue will NEVER be canceled. It will live on until the end of the world. That is all.

Well, I've already been through the cancellation of series that never got a chance (Firefly, Brimstone), and series that probably still had another good season or two in them (Reboot, Exo-Squad, Deadwood, Carnivale).
But I've also seen plenty of series that went on well past their prime. Star Trek:TNG was one of the few that recognized their descending slide in quality so they decided to end while people still looked at it fondly. Buffy more or less as well (the last two seasons didn't have great plots but I still loved the characters). That's something I wish DS9, Heroes, Galactica and especially X-Files would have learned.

For me the first serial cartoon where they killed extras (and main characters) in combat was Robotech. But I loved Exo-Squad. The creators tried to make an American version of those Japanese space war anime of the 70s and 80s, and succeeded beyond all expectations. It had all the drama, character development and detailed setting of those anime, but within a Western cultural framework. They released the first 13 episodes on DVD and it was just a brilliant plot arc. Every time you think the characters (heroes or villains) have done something stupid, you realize they're already one step ahead of you. Definitely cancelled too soon.tehroc said:
It was, or at least I think it was and if it isn't it should be.
Talking about Scrubs. At least they still play re-runs on Comedy Central.

The show Kings. It had a great universe, some of the best acting I have seen on any show in a long time, and the only actor I can think of who would have made a great Captain America(Christopher Egan would have made a great Cap). I mean they could have atleast had a made for TV movie to finish the story. Darn you NBC!
