What TV shows should still be on or shouldn't have got cancelled? And what TV shows should get axed?

[daribian]

Pretty simple self explaitory thread and i will start it of by saying, Coupling, Black Books and Spaced should still be going and Pushing Daisies should never of got cancelled.

Also you could even vent a bit of rage and discuss which TV shows should of been laughed out the studio when first pitched. Again i will start the ball rolling with Katie and Peter our next dull chapter and 90210, frankly i could go on and on discussing other shows that should of never aired but i would take up a lot of room and i am becoming aware of how much i have already typed... sorry.

I didn't know that Spaced was officially canned, I thought Simon Pegg just got distracted by other things.
I know for a fact Firefly's going to come up more'n once in this thread too, and for good reason.

My personal vote goes to the Clerks animated series. It was lost on the test audience (who, from my understanding were actually a group meant for some other show). A lot of the hard core Clerks fans hated it because it wasn't in black and white and didn't swear. As though that was the only thing that made Clerks good.
But the writing was hilarious, the situations great, and the potential for future episodes was astounding.

Ren And stimpy should come back

Firefly!

Damn right.

Obvious one: Futurama. And apparently enough people agree, woohoo!
Personally I'd love to see teachers back, with the original first series cast of course.

Big brother should be axed, Davina McCall should be axed (very literally). I know its the last series coming up, but thats just not soon enough.

 

[HotShooter]

I miss Invader Zim, and Clerks, and Code Monkeys. They all still come on but late at night when I'm sleeping and are only repeats.

 

[retrochimp]

Clerks: TAS definitely. I'd say Arrested Development, The Dresden Files, and most recently The Riches are my other big ones. Also Amazing Screw-On Head, though there's only one episode of that

There might be nothing more satisfying to my taste in television if the new season of 24 was 5 or so minutes long, the perfect amount of time for Jack Bauer to find himself strapped to a rocket aimed at the sun. Oh, that would be beautiful.

I hear Futurama is actually getting a new series and i don't mean the straight to DVD movies they have been bringing out but a proper 26 part series, still haven't looked into this the only rumour that i have actually followed up on is the friends one of special which i know is being made.

Is it true Big brother is finishing please god say it is true so summer can be good again AND NO MORE BB LIVE NOTHING HAPPENS!!!!!!!!!!!!! EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[FightThePower]

Get rid of the pile of shite that is Little Britain, and bring back Robot Wars. I'd like to see more Green Wing but the writers didn't want it to get rubbish so they stopped on their own accord, so that's fair I think.

No mere rumour my friend, t'is true indeed! And yes, 26 episodes, Futurama is back. Glorious day, caloo callay!

Edit: Can't confirm the big brother thing, just remember hearing it.

 

[egwidalin]

I want the show mxc back! I know it was sooo damn dumb, but thats what made it so funny for me. As for axing something, can i just say the channel mtv in all of its entirety needs to be killed off? MUSIC television my ass... >_>

 

[Stein Inge]

With you on Black Books! One of the funniest things I have ever seen! Spaced too but i can live with the loss as long as I get brilliant movies like "Shaun of the Dead" and "Hot Fuzz" to ease the pain...

There is only one show that should never have been cancelled: Carnivale!
Simply the best thing to hit the screens since Twin Peaks and I think it's better! That's right, BETTER!

Speaking of Carnivale, does anyone have any news about that show? I've heard rumors that they are trying to get funding or that they would be releasing the remaining chapters on some other format like a comic? The latter seems like internet BS to me....

Shows that should be canceled: (Please keep in mind that I live in Norway so some of the shows I mention might already be taken off the air, though ALL of the shows I mention still pollute my screen.)
- Joey (worst... spin-off.... EVER! Hell, worst SHOW ever...)
- Battlestar Galactica (Sorry people! I am a sci-fi fan but I cannot take that show for some reason)
- Lost (just kill them all and get it over with)
This is just the tip of the (gigantic) iceberg but I am tired and have to sleep now...

I think it is good news like this that we should all do a imaginary cyber high five ready 1...2...3... High five... that was auesome and so is futurama.

 

[Captain Schpack]

Invader Zim shouldn't have been axed but Chowder and Flapjack should be. Those shows are just wrong.

 

[dontworryaboutit]

Scrubs, Lost, Grey's Anatomy, Heroes and the upcoming OC spinoffs "Westchester" and the one they're basing off 10 Things I Hate About You should all be canceled.

I would say cancel everything on E!, but then The Soup would have nothing to talk about during their show.

 

[New Troll]

Firefly.

Axe all reality TV for being so fake. Which should make MTV a music station still.

 

[Danman1]

Arrested Development. David Cross pretty much explains why it was cancelled in this video-
