How about shows you liked that were canceled - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

toebig · 12-20-2006, 02:07 AM

It seems like each year we all get into a show that we really like and just know it's going to be on for 10 or more years only to have it cancelled by the networks.

I really liked last years E-Ring and thought it was doing well in the ratings, but alas it has gone for good.

How about your favorite that was cancelled?

Joey immediately comes to mind.

That was a sitcom as for dramas, I liked Trial by Jury.

Without question, FOX's Vannished comes to mind. I felt this plot took the Without A Trace concept to a whole new level. I really thought it would take off and was unbelievably surprised to see that it was canceled.

This year, it was Justice. I can't believe it didn't do well.

I really liked Invasion. They cancelled it and left you wondering if Larkin died
or turned into one of the alien types. I wish they would bring it back. I also
liked Surface and now its gone too.

oh and Kidnapped.. I hope it comes out on DVD. Eyes as well.

Firefly easily had potential to be the greatest sci-fi ever. FOX did not even give it a fair shake... Friday night slot, airing the episodes out of order... Come on! This could have easily surpassed Buffy The Vampire Slayer and Angel as Joss Whedon's greatest TV series.

Point Pleasant is another big mistake FOX made by canceling... The premise of this show was just great. It does not seem like there are many directions it can go, but this show could have lasted a good three seasons efficiently, IMO. It got about 10 times better in the unaired episodes.

But, easily the most dissapointing drama cancellation has to be Angel, for me. This is probably my favourite drama ever, and it was canned during it's prime for seemingly no reason. The ratings were sufficient, but instead of renewing it for a sixth and seventh season, they gave Charmed, a show way past it's prime a seventh and eighth season.

I also liked Wonderfalls, Birds Of Prey, Pepper Dennis, Summerland and others that were axed early in their existence.

Mine would be "Commander In Chief." It was the best new show last year and I was so upset when it ended. Thankfully what they made is out on DVD.

Buffyboy323 · 01-05-2007, 06:34 PM

American Dreams, Roswell, Firefly, Birds Of Prey, Popular, Freaks and Geeks, My So Called LIfe, Life As We Know It, Jack and Bobby, Everwood, Joan Of Arcadia, Third Watch (I know it was on for 6 years, but I wasn't ready to let it go yet), and 8 Simple Rules, immediately come to mind. Those were some of my favorite shows ever. They really did get axed too soon.

Felix Na Vi Da · 01-22-2007, 03:35 PM

I think the main one for me will always be Brimstone. God I loved that show. It's a shame that still isn't on DVD. I keep crossing my fingers however.

But more recently I loved Eyes, Line Of Fire, Hawaii, Glory Days, Do Over and would love to have those on DVD.
