Most Baffling Cancellations - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Not things you necessarily liked personally, but things that seemed so popular and/profitable you don’t see how anyone could cancel them. Think about it like this, usually when a show gets cancelled it either just dies or gets picked up my a lesser channel.

No. The Jeffersons had done just about everything they could've with stories and the characters at that point so it was time for it to end but I was sad to see it end and I did miss the show after it was gone. And Pee Wee's Playhouse was just garbage.

3rd Rock from the Sun. The series finale was great, but every episode from season 6 felt rushed. They could've at least given it a 7th season.

My Name Is Earl seemed like it was doing great up till it's cancellation. It really deserved a season 5 and could of gone on awhile longer.

Not puzzling at all. Melissa McCarthy became a bona fide movie star and wanted out. I can't blame her.

Too funny. No I'd call it a fact. Pee Wee Herman (or Paul Reubens) is just creepy.

Melissa McCarthy still did movies while on Mike and Molly. What caused its cancellation was being an aging, unowned show that CBS did not make money off anymore, it was a midseason utility player the last few seasons.
