Awesome TV shows that were ripped from your hands?!?

[KeithTalent]

Arrested Development and Freaks & Geeks of course. I remember watching John Doe with the ex-wife and we were very disappointed when it was cancelled.

Reunion, while actually a pretty crappy show, was one of those ones that really left you hanging and it totally pissed us off. So frustrating. Actually that experience with Reunion made me stop watching new shows form the beginning and just waiting until a whole season was in the can before starting, no matter how much people raved about it.

The Sarah Connor Chronicles wasn't great in its first season, but the second season rocked. Too bad it got canned -- it might have been a great show. Plus Summer Glau and Lena Headey were nice to look at.

Pushing Daisies. I have bought the two seasons and have watched them a lot; so damn sad the show ended.

 

[Wheezer]

Wanted on TNT

 

[Exterous]

Ahhh - so many good shows no longer around

At least they were replaced by quality shows like American Idol, 52 iterations of NCIS or Law and Order and Jay Leno's Hour of Crap

Sarah Connor Chronicles and a show called New Amsterdam.

New Amsterdam was a pretty cool show about a guy who couldn't die or something and was a cop in New York.

Liked that show as well, I don't think it even had a whole season but it was interesting.

I thought New Amsterdam had one of the most awesome openings ever.

ok i'm sure no one will agree with me about this show which i really loved and which only lasted one season:

journeyman

How are ratings arrived at?

Formula:
Number of people who watch the show x the age of the viewer / network executives i.q. ='s Lowest Common Denominator

Dark Angel... it was ripped from my hands as a result of Dark Angel season 2 which was completely whacked.

 

[Kelemvor]

Pretty much every show my wife really likes gets canceled.

First two that come to mind are Traveler and The Unit. There was also one where some guy kept bouncing back to the past (no, not quantum leap) which was also canceled recently but can't remember the name.

In no particular order:

Arrested Development
Firefly
Sarah Connor Chronicles
Reaper
Undeclared
Everwood (yes I admit it)
The Pretender

Probably others I'm forgetting

 

[GrantMeThePower]

Arrested Development
Deadwood
Veronica Mars

 

[jdjbuffalo]

Firefly
The 4400

Both had potential to be a lot more than they were allowed to showcase before they were canceled.

Can't believe nobody has said 'Deadwood'. What an awesome show. Too bad David Milch had to run off after only three seasons to write/direct 'John from Cincinnatti' which was canceled after 10 episodes anyway.

Edit: Whoops, somebody just said Deadwood.

 

[nageov3t]

if you really liked Jericho, you should check out the comic book series... it picks the storyline up right where it left off in the final tv episode.

 

[JeffreyLebowski]

Firefly
The 4400

Both had potential to be a lot more than they were allowed to showcase before they were canceled.

Firefly got the shaft from the begining. The 1st episode aired wasn't the pilot, it was the 2nd episode called Train Job. And they aired it already in progress after the Super Bowl that year. They showed other episodes out of order and at different times each week so it never had a chance. Anyone that has seen it through it's entirety loves it.
Another show that I was robbed of was Alien Nation.

 

[Brovane]

I would say

Stargate Atlantis (considering that SG1 went for 10 seasons and had a conclusion it felt like Stargate Atlantis died a premature death.
Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles
Firefly
Space: Above and Beyond
Whitchblade
Jericho
"Kindred: The embraced"

 

[K1052]

Deadwood stands out in my memory.....only for Milch to go on and make that POS John from Cincinnati. D:

 

[StageLeft]

Jericho, one of the best series on TV. Fvcked if I know why people would rather watch Big Brother than that, screw them. It was a good show.
