No Seinfeld yet? I'm going to +9000 that one.

Another 9000 for SG-1 though it ended okay.
Atlantis I hated until I warmed up to the characters.
Universe: so much potential. Damn Canadians.

narrative story type shows, yea I could agree with Firefly.

But all time favorite show would be UCB, which was taken off the air, and even worse, the live show moved from Chicago to some place called New York.

I can't believe Amy Pohler was the most Upright Citizen. Don't get me wrong, she has earned her stripes, but I always thought Matt Besser (Adair) was always under appreciated on that show. Little Donny was pretty much the best spoof for it's time, IMO.

Amazing how long it took for someone to mention Breaking Bad, you dumbfucks. I mean that in the nicest possible way.

How does this show end so suddenly, after 2.5 seasons? Did Soorkin just decide to drop his mic and walk off or something?

This wasn't news and it wasn't sudden. Sorkin had a really contentious relationship with HBO and the show was never on firm ground. There was a pretty good chance that season 3 was not going to happen at all. They reached an 11th-hour accord to produce a truncated season to wrap things up and cancelled the show at the same time. When it was announced that S3 was a go it was simultaneously announced that S3 was the end.

Sonic The Hedgehog. It never got what would have been an amazing third season.

And Young Justice. And Thunder Cats 2.0.

I like Mamet as a writer and wish he'd write for more TV and movies. I don't want him to be both writer and director.

For example, I really enjoyed The Spanish Prisoner, but I didn't for one second forget I was watching a movie and achieve full movie immersion. I really like full movie immersion.

Heh, yeah. I like both, but it depends on my mood.

figured it must be something like that.

...by sudden, I meant the bluntness of the final season. I assume that it was planned that way before the season was greenlit, but it still ended, just...eh.

I only started watching this ~3 weeks ago, though. Now I'm angry that it's so short. :awe:

Never seen Firefly (don't think it was ever broadcasted here). Maybe I'll go watch it today.

I miss: Chuck, X-Files, Warehouse 13 and a few others. Unfortunately, each of those got worse near the end, which means that there's no good reason to let it continue. Of course Warehouse 13 could be restarted in the new warehouse, but to have a new crew for X-Files might not be the same (not to mention that they'd have to look hard to find mysteries nog covered by X-Files, Supernatural, Warehouse 13, and dozens of other series that spawned since the original X-Files was made). Chuck can't continue since it's not the same funny Chuck since he got happily married, became a real spy, and lost the nerdy mistakes. Can't let Morgan take over again either, nor just anyone else, as it would mean Chuck would have to lose the intersect or die (otherwise they can have him as intersect instead), and even if he loses it he can train the new one (again, unless he's dead).

I'd even not mind to see what was being planned for a second season of SGU, eventhough season 1 was one big soap. They were trying to recover from that a bit near the end of the season. But it wouldn't be my favorite to return.

I could go for the Dutch version of 'Whose line is it anyway?', but unless it would be the right people doing it it would not be nice either. They had too many people who couldn't do it near the end.

Maybe I'd have to go for Buffy instead. Always liked that series, even the last season.

Edit: On that list of 180 shows it has Sliders ranked above Chuck. I'd disagree with that. Eventhough it would be hard to bring Chuck back as a decent series after the end of the last season, with Sliders it would be even harder. The last season only had one of the original crew left, and he managed to get home. The rest were dead or lost on the way iirc. You can't just have a new group pick up where it left off, so it would basically be a remake. A pity, as the series was great.
Heroes and The 4400 are also on that list, and are ones I liked. Dark Angel was nice because of Jessica Alba, but the stories weren't always great. Would have expected to see Witchblade on that list too. ST: TNG I do miss somewhat, as well as ST: Voyager, but another season would have probably not done justice to either of them.
