What show that ended or was cancelled..

[Eja117]

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.

I miss The Knick, too.

J Lo was a Fly Girl.

Invasion

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

ah I remember Buffy, that was a good one!

Added to my list:

Invasion

I loved that one.

I was bummed when it didn't come back, myself.

I'd love a new Twilight Zone series. I love the old once the most but they had a think a 200's version hosted by forest Whitaker that had some good episodes.

[Sixth Man]

The Wire, v.2.0.  The Knick will return in 2017 with a new cast and crew.  I would love to see a reboot of Homicide:  Life on the Street, also.  Alias and Fringe might be interesting, but only if Abrams, Kurtzman and Orci are in charge.

the initial cast was terrific as was the writing.   by the end, the cast and writing wasn't as strong.

Can somebody remove this thread or the entire Off Topic from me,
Thanks

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

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.

TP for jogging my memory on so many shows.  Here's what stands out to me:
Freaks and Geeks
Firefly
24
Dark Angel
Joan of Arcadia
Pushing Daisies
Reaper
Journeyman
Jericho (the plot was starting to go downward though)
flashforward
Kyle XY (although it was starting to go off the rails a bit at the end)
Almost Human (add this one.  liked it a lot -- lots of potential)
Limitless (added this one -- really liked this show)
The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Life (really liked this one)
Rome
Rogue (added his one too)
LOST (they rushed to end this due to that freaking writer's strike.  should have changed the cancellation date to properly wrap this up)

I just came into this thread this thread to add Limitless, I loved that one.

That said, for a series that only got off one season, and got cancelled, I actually felt it had quite a satisfactory ending for what they were working with. So, it was easier to swallow than many others.

Rogue - I haven't watched, but planning to... but that show isn't cancelled.

Almost Human - could potentially be on my list, I just haven't watched the final 3 episodes.

LOST - I haven't finished yet, but I don't think it was a victim of the writers strike. They had planned 2 seasons before hand where and when to end it. The writers strike took place in 2008 or so, in season 4... they went 2 seasons beyond that.

[TheLegendaryClub]

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.

Person of Interest was fantastic, very underrated show imo. Michael Emerson and Amy Acker are two of my favorite television actors. Sad it's over, I think it definitely deserved another season.

My pick would probably be Pushing Daisies -- pretty wild that it won 4 Emmys a year after it's cancellation.

last I heard, Rogue had shown it's last episode.  if not, that's terrific.

Lost was definitely impacted by the strike.  the next to last season was shortened by a number of episodes so they had to cram a lot of stuff into the that and the last season.  threw off the flow of the plot.
