Reaper. Don't know if someone's said that yet.
YES. God I love that show(irony).

I know they intended for it to be a comedy, but seriously, Reaper had one of the best stories I've seen without sacrificing action or funniness. I really wish they brought it back.

Their other show, Aliens in America, was pretty shitty, though.

Harsh Realm.

Created by Chris 'the x-files' Carter. Harsh Realm was another victim of the FOX network, which botched the series and then canceled it after about 9 episodes.

Soldiers trying to assassinate a power crazy General inside a military simulation of a post-apocalyptic America? Yes please.

PFFT! Watch Hellsing Ultimate!
Hellsing Ultimate?!?!
Yes, Ultimate. 5 6 episodes out. Begins in a fairly similar manner to the earlier anime series, but follows the manga more closely.

And let me tell you, this series has nothing about a god-resurrecting pansy pants wannabe undead lord vampire challenging Alucard. Oh no. Millenium is something to truly fear. I cannot say any more, it would spoil too much.

Suffice to say, Alucard is freaking awesome and the Halconnen II Seras gets after Halconnen I proves insufficient is just plain overkill.

'To thee I aks you, who are you?'

'We are Iscariot! The Legion of Judas Iscariot'

'Now I ask thee, Iscariot...What is it though has grasped in thy right hand?'

'We're clutching the dagger!

'Then Iscariot, I ask of thee...What doth thou firmly grasp in thy left hand?'

'We grasp 30 pieces of silver...'

'Lo and Behold! What art thee, Iscariot?! We are apostles yet not apostles. We are traitors, yet not traitors! We are death and the minions of death! We humbly bow down and ask of forgiveness from our Lord... Submitting ourselves in reverence of God we shall vanguish all His foes. We are those who swing a dagger on a moonless night. We are those who lace your dinners with poison. We are assasins. The ones who have embraced the ways of Judas Iscariot! When time comes, we shall throw these 30 pieces of silver into the temple and hang ourselves with these halters of straw. We band together as cabals as we plunge into Hades, we cohorts of the cloth, in ranks of 5, are now forming an Agmen Quadratum... Desiring to do battle with 7 405 926 demons of hell!

'AMEN!'

Traveler. It was great, and didn't even make it an entire season. I loved that show... WHY didn't people give it a chance.

Also, Moonlight. One Season. The last episode of it was hilarious, and there was so much potential with that ending. But now, we'll never get to see that either.

Why must the good shows be canceled.

Seriously, if you watched it, you know what I'm talking 'bout!
It wasn't meant to be more than 6 episodes (I believe it was 6).

Neon Genesis Evangelion for me. While it was only meant to be 1 season, I wish it had one on longer, they cut the budget for the last two episodes and it made it a real mindfuck.

Yes, follows the manga down to a science: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WToGUOJoFgo

Takes about a year for the next one though. Each OVA is a volume. Quite a few, at least 1-3, are dubbed in english.

Last saturday, I watched the whole season of Firefly for the first time. Then I watched Serentiy.
Then I cried. I cried because it's never coming back.
What TV show of yours never made it past more than a few seasons? Spare some thoughts.

Craps shoot between Firefly and Covington Cross.

I can cheat because the third season was drastically cut short.

Arrested Development.

I would literally give up my first born for two more seasons of high quality AD.

Clone High, for sure. Not only did it end after one season, but it ended with a cliff-hanger! (probably on purpose)

yeah, i'm pretty sure it was on purpose. if it had a season 2, it would probably ruin the joke.
