Name a canceled TV show that should have been given a second chance.

[sandorski]

or the Incredible Hulk.

or the Littlest Hobo

 

[Dedpuhl]

several of the ones mentioned before (TSCC, Arrested Development, Firefly, and Enterprise)

I would've liked to have seen a 3rd season of Dark Angel. The 1st season was good and the 2nd season was ok but not great. There's a chance they could've redeemed themselves in a 3rd season.

 

[SR1729]

Titus

 

[slayer202]

Eastbound and Down

this is coming back in september...

 

[Flipped Gazelle]

should have learned grammar in school (pontifex is referring to the OP)

Heh... I've grown so accustomed to poor grammar and folks spelling things out phonetically - and ignoring word meanings - that sometimes I barely notice these things anymore. :$

Defying Gravity - This was a summer series last year but was canceled before first season could play out. Also it was given a bad time slot and then shuffled around like "Firefly".

My friend was one of the lead characters!

 

[ciba]

My top 5?

Firefly
Dead Like Me
The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.
Wonderfalls
Arrested Development

I guess even Showtime Foxes it every once in a while...

 

[xSauronx]

Arrested development was too short.

I agree...hurwitz said last year that he was at the end of the story but I dont believe it. Excellent writing and acting that merits many re-watchings, I watch the entire series annually

Shows that should have been given a second chance:
The Dresden Files
Flash Forward

Shows that should have been cancelled long ago:
Heroes
Just about any "reality" show.

 

[IHateMyJob2004]

To those that watched The Sarah Conner chronicles, they think they lost a good show.

Season 1 sucked but mostly due to the writers strike. Season 2 though. it was well done. Very good story arc, etc. Not the best acting but to me, story matters. Season 1 turned to many people away and they could not recover. The viewership never happened.

 

[Noobtastic]

yeah. like, I really miss Kings.

probably more than any other canceled or otherwise off-the-air TV show.

Jack, imo, was the most complex and interesting gay character ever portrayed on network tv.

the bible is so rich in story and violence...Kings just exemplified the fantasy with a 21st century spin.

poorly poorly advertised, the networks fucked it over.

instead we get stuck with shit like glee.

 

[QuantumPion]

Space: Above and Beyond

 

[Fenixgoon]

kings. i LOVED that show.

 

[yh125d]

I'm convinced that the Fox Network is run by an evil machine programmed to make television as bad as physically possible.

 

[TurtleCrusher]

Lucky Louie.

Jesus. What's wrong with you people?

I always wondered if the ratings would have been better had they marketed it from the beginning as a religious allegory tv show instead of sci-fi/fantasy.

 

[n7]

All tied down already:

Dead Like Me (got a movie, not that good of one)
Terminator Sarah Connor CHronicles
Firefly (have to admit I never watched it, but Serenity got me onboard)

All of these, but especially Sarah Connor Chronicles!

Also, Legend of the Seeker, because i don't care how cheesy it is, it's fun as hell to watch & Bridget Reagan = :wub:

 

[gw186]

Flash Forward
Better off ted

and The Brotherhood of Poland, New Hampshire only lasted a few weeks on CBS. Thought it was a great show.

Firefly

Like the call on Earth 2. They should have give that show more time.

The American Life on Mars should have lasted longer. I haven't watched the original so I can't compare.

 

[Rill22]

Arrested development was too short.

Agreed.

 

[nakedfrog]

Andy Richter Controls the Universe

My top 5?

Firefly
Dead Like Me
The Adventures of Briscoe County, Jr.
Wonderfalls
Arrested Development

Wonderfalls had potential.

I'm here to help make sure nothing gets said more times than Arrested Development!

 

[Synomenon]

err it was given too many second chances. Season 1 was good, the rest is best forgotten.

It was given many chances, but some of us still liked it.
