I know it's been done before, but I wanna voice my opinion on the shows I love that ended before their time:

10 - Just the Ten Of Us
09 - Jenny
08 - Maybe This Time
07 - Veronica's Closet
06 - Phenom
05 - Double Trouble
04 - Throb (Kinda annoying but Jayne was funny as Blu)
03 - The Golden Palace
02 - The Edge
01 - The Rerun Show (I Loved It!)

I know these may be rather ridiculous to miss, but I adored these shows, and there needs to be a network that airs all sitcoms that are no longer in syndication and show them uncut and no voice over's on the credits. I mean, I know Nick@Nite and TVLand do this, but they are horrible at editing and airing credits to the show, not to mention airing horrible shows like Gunsmoke and Andy Griffith (which is already on 300 other channels as it is). If they would just focus on these sitcoms from 70s-NOW, it would have ratings through the roof. But, It's just a dream...maybe some day it will happen.

In no particular order, but here's 10:

1. Roar
2. Miracles
3. Freakylinks
4. Getting Together (starring Bobby Sherman)
5. Secret Agent Man
6. Kindred: The Embraced
7. Julie (starring Julie Andrews)
8. Queen of Swords
9. David Cassidy: Man Undercover
10. The Snoop Sisters

Dawson's Creek
Touched by an Angel
Mr Sterling, although I hope it will be back mid-season again(??)

2. Small Wonder
3. Sliver Spoon
4. Punky Brustwer
5. Sabrina The Teenage Witch
6. Sister Sister
7. Lizzie McGuire
8. Three's Company

3. The Oblongs
4. It's Like... You Know
5. The Crew
6. Bette
7. Ask Harriet

Shows that didnt last but was cool that I liked.

The adventures of SinBad
Robin Hood both series micheal praed & upn 22 series

with the guy who played scarlet in Costners Robin HOOD

The Tick live action series It was funny.
forever Knight
friday the 13 the series
Polterguiest the series
Fridays
Sister Kate
The original E.R. Series not nbc version, this had George Clooney
concheta ferrel I think thats her name.

wings was great
boston common
News radio

I could go on .
So many good shows that networks pull because its not trendy .
If I see another episode of sienfeld on another channel again,
Ill scream! One network that probably regrets what they did upn 22. They dropped Xena and xena went on for years after on anohter network. I love that . Upn used to have action packed weekends
the line up was
robin hood
The adventures of sinbad
Hercules
xena warrior princess
They dropped them all and they other 2 stay strong for years after and still have a massive fan following. Shows how much the networks care about what the viewers really want.

One more that was a riot. The Howe Mandel show.

State of Grace
Popular
Jesse

I looove JESSe . Antonio was great. He was not raised by woooolves.

My List of top 10 shows that I was bummed to see go...


1. THE NANNY (for sooooo many reasons)
2. CHINA BEACH (it was a great show)
3. FAT ALBERT & the cosby kids (Hey Hey Hey)
4. BOSTON COMMON (this was just a funny show)
5. JOANIE LOVES CHACHI (because I only got to see 1 ep)
6. MAD ABOUT YOU (see explanation below)
7. THE MUPPETS TONIGHT ('cause it brought the muppets back)
8. THE MUPPET SHOW ('cause its the muppets)
9. JESSE (C.A.'s best role IMO)
as for # 10 I am leaving blank because I am a girl & I frequently change my mind & add stuff to my list so this leaves me room....
That & off the top of my head, that was all I could come up with!


Mad About You doesn't belong on this list because its time had come but it was my fav sitcom & while I love the show & miss it, I added it because it was the writers who I blame for its end they had forgotten what made the show a success so in my opinion the show I loved ended prematurly (just after season 4) but the show that aired ended right on time. I could start a who other thread on this topic but MAY has its own board for that. http://www.heyyouguys.com/couch.jpg

NewsRadio It lasted five seasons and 97 episodes. However, I felt it could have gone for another year.

Andy Richter Controls the Universe The last current show I will ever watch. I don't think any new shows could be any better than this two season, 19 episodes series. FOX could have had a cult classic with a long run, but instead decided to just show their stupidity and greed and cancelled this series.

George & Leo I loved this show. Judd Hirsch and Bob Newhart were funny. CBS got it's first strike (out of three) when they cancelled G&L. 22 episodes

In the House Okay, I know it went on UPN for like three seasons, but I am referring to when NBC cancelled the series after two seasons. It was not the same show when it came to UPN. Debbie Allen was gone and they changed the setting from a house to a clinic. If NBC had renewed it, maybe it would have been different.

The Tick A very funny sitcom with Patrick Warburton playing the Big Blue Bug of Justice. I never liked the cartoon, but this series was the best. Only lasted 8 out of the 9 produced episodes.

The Wonder Years - Five years were not enough to make this show complete. We did not get to see Kevin, Winnie, and Paul graduate from McKinley High School. We did not get to see them go to college, either. :(

Our House - This wholesome NBC drama from 1986-1988 Sunday nights deserved better. Two seasons, that was all? :eek: :confused:

There are two shows I really liked that got cancelled too soon. One was You Don't Know Jack, with Paul Reubens as game show host Troy Stevens and the comedy cop show The Last Precinct. The show was a knockoff of the movie Police Academy, starring Adam west as the captain of a motley police force that included and Elvis impersonator, a transsexual and an Indian exchange cop that was portrayed by former tennis star Vijay Amitraj.

10. Duckman
9. Undergrads
8. Andy Richter controls the univers

The Brady Bunch
The Brady Brides
The Bradys
Family Matters
Hangin' With Mr. Cooper
Even Stevens
Gilligan's Island
The Facts of Life
The Rerun Show
The Wonder Years

Hmm, I have few shows that were spin-offs or one hit wonders that I miss. Here's the ones that I can think of right now:
Good Times (spin-off of Maude)
The Job (one year hit wonder)
S.W.A.T. (both a one year wonder and a spin-off of The Rookies)

in order

1. Life With Roger [Mike O'Malley, Maurice Godin]
2. Jesse [Christina Applegate, Liza Snyder]
3. Can't Hurry Love [Nancy McKeon]
4. Newsradio [Dave Foley, Phil Hartman]
5. Working [Fred Savage]
6. Double Trouble [the Sagal twins]
7. The Random Years [nobody famous, it aired last year on UPN]
8. The Mike O'Malley Show [Mike O'Malley]
9. Popular
10. vr5 [Lori Singer, Michael Eaton]

1. My Two Dads :(

2. Blossom :(

3. Growing Pains :(

4. Facts of Life (ven though it did have a nice run) :(
(It's one of My Favorites)

5. Punky Brewster :(

6. Brotherly Love :(

7. Charles In Charge :(

8. Saved By the Bell :( (including all shows)

9. California Dreams :(

10. Sister Kate :(

I have more but I think that's all I'll post for now.

Here's my list (I only have seven):

1."Archie Bunker's Place" (1979-83)- Needed a finale episode
2."The Jeffersons" (1975-85)- Needed a finale episode
3."Gloria" (1982-83)- Could've lasted longer- was #18 in the 1982-83 Season
4."The Ropers" (1979-80)- Could've lasted longer- was placed against the hit show "CHiPs", causing it to founder
5."Three's A Crowd" (1984-85)- Needed another season to gather an audience
6."Sanford" (1980-81)- Placed in a bad timeslot, it succumb to low ratings. It could've lasted longer.
7."A.U.S.A" (2003)- I actually liked it...

Actually, I think Archie Bunker was a waste. I know a lot of you don't feel that way but I do. I liked Carol O'Conner more for his Role in, In the Heat of the Night.

Quantum Leap is another Show that should still be around. I really, really Liked it :)

As a matter of a fact I was out of twon a few weeks ago and found a Quantum Leap Marathon on and I watched it from Begining to End and Still Wanted More.

So many great shows never get a chance, but here are the 10 that I can think of that I loved and never really made it, in no specific order:

1. Andy Richter Controls the Universe
2. Boston Common
3. Minor Adjustments
4. Brotherly Love
5. Freaks and Geeks
6. Cupid
7. Opposite Sex
8. Fired Up
9. That's Life
10. Norm

Cupid is canceled? YIPPEEEEEEEEEE!!!!!!!!!!!

Dangerous Minds (Annie Potts, lasted one season, a million times better than the movie)

Byrds Of Paradise (Jennifer Love Hewitt & Seth Green in Hawaii)

Second Noah (loved it the first season, not so much the second season)

WB got rid of Smart Guy too soon and I thought it was sad that no other network picked up Gregory Hines' sitcom after CBS cancelled it.

2. John Doe
3. Nearly Departed(when I started liking Eric Idle and Monty Python)
4. Kung Fu the Legend Continues
5. Turning Point(with a pre-View Meredeth Viera)
6. I'll Fly Away with pre-Law & Order Sam Waterston
7. Life Goes On Featuring the First Down's Syndrome Actor To Carry A Show
8. HomeFront

10. Lucky

1. Out of This World (loved the chair shaped like a hand in evie's bedroom- and burt reynolds played her alien father that spoke to her from that plastic box! how funny is that?)

2. Hey Dude

3. Rags to Riches (one of the only things i remember about that show was somebody's saxophone getting tossed into a pond. but i do remember loving it.)

4. Eerie, Indiana (remember that whole stabbing between his fingers thing he did?)

5. Perfect Strangers (balki!)

Does anyone out there remember the show? >
It's About Time
I'm not to sure, but I think it was about some travellers who crashed either into another world or onto an island, with the main Characters being cavemen. I think the lead character’s name was Shad or Chad :confused:
From what I can remember, the show didn't run for to long.
I think the theme song went something like this, >
"It's about time, It's about space.
It's about time we slapped your face"
(I do remember singing those words, but can't remember if they were actually from the show or are they words we had made up as children to fit in with the beat of the theme music...lmao

Well that was one of my many favourites, others are>

Dinosaurs

Ops! Sorry! Think I posted my last message on the wrong Thread page. My apologies...Hmmm that's Aussies for ya! hu? ... :crazy: ..hee hee!

Mad About You doesn't belong on this list because its time had come but it was my fav sitcom & while I love the show & miss it, I added it because it was the writers who I blame for its end they had forgotten what made the show a success so in my opinion the show I loved ended prematurly (just after season 4) but the show that aired ended right on time. I could start a who other thread on this topic but MAY has its own board for that.

...it actually lasted 7 seasons. ;) Its last episode aired on May 24, 1999 and its first episode aired on September 23, 1992.

this is all I can think of for now

How about " The Ben Stiller Show " from 1992 not 1990 ? I'm lucky that I have it on dvd . It disappeared after 12 episodesbecause it was always fell very last in the ratings. Then it was aired in re-run's on a few channels then disappered completely. What happened ?
