I loved battlestar galactica reboot. My wife and I binge watched seven episodes one day. It was fun that she was into a sci-fi-sh tv show and watching with her was a blast. I refer to Edward James Olmos as a the Mexican  Morgan Freeman ( hopefully that's taken well the way I mean it) for their similarities in just this awesome stoic, do what's right powerful but understated screen presence . I love both those actors. Movie geek.😜

Chapelle Show is a good comedy show that should have gone on longer.

Arrested Development, Chuck, Parks and Recreation. Trying to name a few that haven't already been mentioned.

Netflix already rebooted Arrested Development so you got your wish.

For me it would probably be Happy Endings. The writing was so sharp and Damon Wayans Jr is hilarious.

Good topic - this should probably be limited to a show that was on a maximum of five seasons, though. Really good shows that went on for a while were already considered a success.

Off the top of my head, mine would probably be Person of Interest for an established show and Super Fun Night for a one season show.

The Adventures of Brisco County Jr.
In the summer of 2017, I predicted this team would not win a championship for the next 10 years.

3 down, 7 to go.

Firefly and Deadwood.

Two of the very best shows of the aughts.

What was done to them was borderline criminal.

I know everybody wants Firefly, but nothing would really make me happier than watching more Buffy.
Philly:

Anderson Varejao    Tiago Splitter    Matt Bonner
David West    Kenyon Martin    Brad Miller
Andre Iguodala    Josh Childress    Marquis Daniels
Dwyane Wade    Leandro Barbosa
Kirk Hinrich    Toney Douglas   + the legendary Kevin McHale

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


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.
Woah

The deadwood last season was so bad.  God I loved that show and then the last season was put together so quickly and from what I understand it was to dive into the surfer God series which I forget but it didn't last at all.

Al is NOT GOING TO STAB and kill that guy to end it, al was scared cmon

Yeah but those weren't nearly as good as the ones that were aired by FOX. The problem with those episodes is that everyone is separated from one another. The Bluth family was at its funniest when they were all together.

If anything, I wished they hadn't wrapped everything up so quickly. That's on fox though, not on the show.
