@tube head: I don't think Saved by the bell was canceled per say. It was time for the OG to celebrate graduating and from the show produced two new versions: one for college and one for the next generation of students.

Back to You

I know! :mad: right?! I love anything Kelsey Grammar is in.

My list:

Keen Eddie
All My Children
Touched by an Angel
Lone Star

Titus
Norm
Now and Again
Chuck (although I should be happy it lasted this long lol)

I do agree with Back to You. It was hitting it's stride when Fox canceled it.

The 4400
Murder, She Wrote (I think we could have gotten two or three more seasons)
Mystery Science Theater 3000
The Edge of Night (with the popularity of crime shows again, a mystery-oriented soap that isn't like Desperate Housewives or Revenge could probably work but it would probably have to be in primetime).

Coach - why didn't we get to see another season of the Orlando Breakers?

Family Matters - we deserved to see Steve and Laura tie the knot!

Our House - why only two measly seasons?

State of Grace - The Wonder Years from a girl's point of view, and only allowed 38 episodes.

The Wonder Years - why didn't we get to see Kevin and Co. graduate high school? Or even go through college a little?

Yep. The show was just starting to gel creatively towards the end of its' one and only season.

And we got cheated out of a good run of it and the two stars went on to lesser sitcoms.

No Ordinary Family
Pushing Daisies
Dirty Sexy Money
Pan Am

Pan Am

"Pan Am" hasn't been canceled... yet.

I was about to chime in on Pan AM but someone beat me to the punch. I'm glad its not canceled. Hopefully, there will be no "yet". LOL.

ABC can't keep a show to save their lives.

I was about to chime in on Pan AM but someone beat me to the punch. I'm glad its not canceled. Hopefully, there will be no "yet". LOL.

If things don't drastically improve for it, then it will be.

Those are the two that jump out to me, most of my other favorites - I felt it was time for them to go.

Yup, Tom Verica (who played the dad on American Dreams) was also on Providence. He's one of those good, solid actors who just can't seem to find a hit show (though not for lack of trying).

Family Matters - we deserved to see Steve and Laura tie the knot!



Didn't that show run for like 9 years? I'd say it more than overstayed it's welcome. The last season on CBS was horrible. They recasted Harriette and it wasn't the same. They should have just killed off Harriette and had Carl as a single dad.

I forgot to add these to my list:

Life On Mars
Memphis Beat
Harper's Island
Valentine
Eastwick
The Gates
Scoundrels
FlashForward
The Nine Lives Of Chloe King
Pushing Daisies

I agree with State of Grace. I loved that show and wish it were on dvd!

I couldn't agree more!! You're right, it ran for 9 years...1989-97 on ABC, and 1997-98 on CBS.

Quantum Leap. I agree with you that the ending was disappointing! Sam never makes it back home. How sad! But I do have to admit that it was a surprise ending. Poor Sam.......... still leaping! Anyway, I have purchased the complete series and have just finished watching it. I wish that it could have gone on a few more seasons. "Oh Boy"..........................:(

I would have liked Gilmore Girls to have gone on . The show never got stale. But it had a good long run. I never tire of watching it!

One show I regret getting cancelled was the 1979 NBC Series Cliffhangers. An Homage to the Movie Serials of yore, there were three "Stories" in each episode which all ended in a "Cliffhanger". The Stories were:

The Curse of Dracula - A Horror Serial about our favorate Vampire.

Stop Susan Williams - A Foreign Intrigue Serial

The Secret Empire - A Sci-Fi/Western Serial.

The First one of these was played to it's Conclusion, then NBC had the nerve to CANCEL the series WITHOUT Playing the Final Episode, which concluded the final Stories! :angryfire

I FINALLY was able to see how they ended, thanks to a bootleg DVD! :mad:

Stop Susan Williams - A Foreign Intrigue Serial

Wasn't a feature film made about that one?

I read somewhere that a Movie was made edited from all the segments, but I never saw it. NBC also ran the first four segments of The Curse of Dracula in an attempt to promote the series, to no avail. ( It had the misfortune to run OPPOSITE the ABC's Ratings Powerhouses Happy Days and Laverne & Shirley, which was suicidal for many a series at the time):eek:. I had a feeling as I watched it is was going to be a "One-Shot Wonder", but what irked me was THEY REFUSED TO AIR THE FINAL EPISODE! Would one week really been detrimental to the network?. It took me thirty years to find out how they ended, better late than never! Thanks ioffer! :D

^ I seem to recall the DS remake constantly being pre-empted due to the Gulf War coverage. Was that the reason why it was cancelled?

Yep. :(

A shame too. The remake was awesome! I think it's out on DVD.

That was such a great drama. Plus, I love the 60's.

For me, it would be:
Friends ended at the wrong time in the wrong manner, I miss it soooo much

Those are mine.

Should have become a new show with everyone changing areas and still following the storylines for each person in the group as new families. Now everyone wants to see how their lives have turned out with the new homes and new families. Most of the actors in the show haven't had much success with other ventures. Why stop something that is winning. I want to see Chandler and Monica with the twins, I want to see where Rachel and Ross go and maybe they could have more children. Maybe Joey could change lifestyles and settle down, get married and have kids, there is still so much more they could have explored instead of ending it.

I also miss "MadTV".

I loved the days when we had both "SNL" and "MadTV".

Goldilocks, the DS remake from 1991 is indeed available on DVD:

i miss smallville. i also miss early edition both are awesomeshow i enjoed Kung Fu: The Legend Continues
. i used to watch reurins of it on tnt after i got home form shcool.

Thank you for starting this thread. There are plenty of both currently cancelled sitcoms and series and short lived shows in the history of TV that I wish should've been on longer.

Here's the list:
Americas Most Wanted (as a regular show not just special editions)
All My Children
The Simpsons (Woops, I got a little bit ahead of myself. Please say the roumors that it will be cancelled after this season are false!)
Sunshine
Frebbie And The Bean
Married With Children (very funny)
In Living Color
21 Jump Street
Star Wars (Yes Star Wars was on TV! It wasn't a cartoon either. It was on for only one night during the 1978 season.)
The Brady's
The Brady Bunch
E.R. (the comedy that is)
Family Ties
Growing Pains
Mad TV
James At 15 (later called James At 16)
Square Pegs

Also there was this man that had a talk show for a while during the summer back in 1977. I forgot the name of it. Does anybody remember the name? It was good that TV Land aired it several years back. TV Land aired all the episodes of this short lived talk show too.

You are quite welcome. I'm glad I'm getting some responses for this thread.

Is State of Grace on DVD? I haven't seen it but if you say it's a girl's Wonder Years I'm in!

No, not that I'm aware of.

Family Matters - we deserved to see Steve and Laura tie the knot!


Didn't that show run for like 9 years? I'd say it more than overstayed it's welcome. The last season on CBS was horrible. They recasted Harriette and it wasn't the same. They should have just killed off Harriette and had Carl as a single dad.


Tell that to the producers of The Simpsons, which now has been going on for over 20 years!

I also miss "MadTV".

The main thing I remember about that show is they had a female cast member who did the funniest Whitney Houston imitation I have ever seen. Loved it!!!

Firefly
The Black Donnellys
My So-Called Life

Maybe Joey could change lifestyles and settle down, get married and have kids, there is still so much more they could have explored instead of ending it.

They should have devoted a spin-off to Phoebe and Mike and her trying to fit in with the upper class lifestyle, instead of a stupid Joey spin-off.
