I have a fairly long list of regrets of time spent on shows that didn't end with anything resembling a satisfactory ending (premature cancellations mostly)

Dark Angel
Life
Rome
Deadwood
Carnivale
24 (with Jack Bauer)
The Black Donnellys
Point Pleasant
Veronica Mars
The Sarah Connor Chronicles (though I hated much of it)
Firefly/Serenity
Dollhouse
The 4400
Eli Stone
Dead Like Me
Awake
The Class
Young Justice
Birds of Prey
Blade the Series
Tarzan (2003)
Boston Common
Saved (2006)
Hex
The Cape
Drive
Surface
Cover Me: Based on the True Life of an FBI Family
Human Target
Lie to Me
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
Faceless (2006 never got off beyond pilot presentation, it would've been awesome)
Legends
Day Break
Dexter (terrible ending, turned to crap, but I think it could've redeemed itself at any moment)
The Dresden Files (I rather they reboot it though and do it properly)
Eastbound and Down (haven't finished it though, so I'm going to assume I'd want more once I'm done)
Eleventh Hour
The Nine
Ringer
Justice
Kyle XY
Threshold
No Ordinary Family
FlashForward
Forever
New Amsterdam
Twin Peaks (Sequel already on the works)
Hannibal
Thief
Shark
Jake 2.0
Traveler
Jericho
Memphis Beat
Journeyman
The Millers
Luther (not sure if it's cancelled or not at this point)
My Own Worst Enemy
Pushing Daisies
Reaper
Running Wilde
Sleeper Cell
Tru Calling
The Unusuals
Joan of Arcadia
Invasion
Limitless

Those are some that come to mind after a quick browse, I'm sure there are more. Of course, won't mention series that I loved and had to be ended because they turned to pure crap as it went with no real of way of saving it (like The Mentalist)

I'm scratching my head at some of the mentions though considering that they had such a good ending, that there's really no reason to bring it back... in fact I'd hate to see them back and ruin what was a good show (Breaking Bad, Justified, The Shield, etc. for example). Shows that had actual endings to them.

I guess my main interest with most of the list above is to get an actual conclusion to make all the time I wasted on them somewhat worth it, even with the realization that I've watched and gotten attached to quite a few subpar shows.

Firefly
This. I hope Josh Wheedon has an understanding with Nathan Fillon ..."The second Castle ends you're coming back, right?"

Marco Polo. It's not cancelled yet but I hope they bring back a 3rd season.

Prequel seasons of Game of Thrones. Again. Not actually cancelled yet.

Terminator Sarah Connors Chronicles.

Of course if they made GOT sequels at the same time as Terminator Lena Hedy would be a very busy person.

Use the new Star Trek reboot actors to bring back Star Trek the original series. Let's see them act beside a cardboard box for a set the way the originals did with no budget.

Newhart ended with a dream sequence and Bob himself is like 86. Have him head up to Vermont with his wife from the first show and stumble across an inn exactly like the one in Newhart. Unfortunately two main characters are dead but he could run into Stephi and Michael running it and Larry, Darryl, and Darrell could appear.

Amazingly, of BudCelts list, I've only seen Twin Peaks, Deadwood and 24.  I did try Dexter and couldn't get into it

Arrested Development cast is so good I think they could still pull it off.    Soap and Taxi are two sitcoms that ended too soon, but cast members would be too old or too dead to bring them back.   St. Elsewhere cast (denzel, ed begley, wm daniels, mandy patinkin howie mandell, mark harmon, david morse...) is also so good, and could provide a "shake up" to those of us who have been annoyed by the ending for the past 30 years.

Old one- Perfect Strangers.   I also miss Breaking Bad but agree that it ended perfectly.  Agree with The Office.   I miss the Daily Show with Jon Stewart and pretty much all of the shows Keith Olberman ever had.

I'd want to watch more of Dexter, but they spent over half of the series ruining their own show, so I'm not exactly sure they have any good story left to tell.

I also want one more episode of HIMYM where they say they were just kidding about the finale and put it back together.

Arrested development.  The best comedy most people don't even know about.  Bluths!

In Living Color....SO much talent on that show. The Wayans family, Tommy Davidson, Jamie Foxx, Jim Carey, David Allen Grier, the Fly-Girls including J-Lo and Rosie Perez...WOW.

Here's one great clip.

Dominion.

I loved watching Doninion. I thought the lead kid played a good reluctant hero type and it ws a wicked interesting concept. It was my favorite show to watch but I also was dissapointed with a lot of stuff in it.
 I'd like it built on. Some of the storyline was awesome I thought. Good pick. I think I changed mine to Dominion.

A ton of good shows don't last. I always enjoyed sci-fi shows so have to also add Stargate Destiny, Almost Human and Fringe to the great mentions of shows others have imputed.
