Shows you were saddened to see get cancelled - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

Can you ever recall being really sad when you found out one of your favorite shows was getting cancelled?

I'll admit that I found out when I heard the fate of "Step By Step," I cried.

I'm not making that up.

You have to consider that I not only loved the show a lot, but how much I adored Angela Watson.

When I found out 'Back to You' was cancelled, I was really upset.

Zoneboy · 02-25-2009, 12:26 AM

I can't think of any show that actually made me cry when it was canceled although I probably would've squalled my fool head off if I'd been alive during Twilight Zone's original run but I was born 4 months after the last episode aired in 1964.

I was pretty down when Dallas went off the air although it's best days were behind it.

I recall I was pretty upset when I learned that CBS had canncelled "WKRP IN CINCINATI".

Also in the early 80s when NBC canncelled "BRET MAVERICK".

The show Brooklyn Bridge. I was sad when it was cancelled, but then it was understandable, there were only a limited number of scenarios that could be presented, and the kids in the show couldn't stay kids forever. A good thing is that it exited while it was at the top of its game.

Same creators, I believe, that did Family Ties, another quality show--which tells you right there something about it.

I was very upset when ABC Cancelled Full House in 1995 you did not want to see How Upset I was when I Leard that ABC Cancelled Full House.

I was really sad when they cancelled "Touched by an Angel". I feel like they still had room for show growth.

repeatshistory · 02-25-2009, 01:30 AM

How about a list?

Shows that I was sad to see cancelled by network:

FOX
The Adventures Of Brisco County, Jr.
Firefly
Wonderfalls
Undeclared
Arrested Development
Family Guy (the first time!)

ABC
Push, Nevada
Miracles
EYES

NBC
20 Good Years

UPN
Platypus Man
Pigsty
Nowhere Man

WB
Angel
That Was Then

But the show I was most sad to see go, the one that I TRULY grieved it's passing, was Remember WENN on AMC.

Yeah, I probably was too. Don't really remember, but I was obsessed with that show in my teen years.

I was HIGHLY upset when Moesha and Popular got canceled because it ended on a cliffhanger and may never know what happens in their respective storyline.

comedyfreak · 02-25-2009, 05:19 AM

I was sad to see Three's Company go it was like saying goodbye to old friends.

I was bummed when Less Than Zero got cancelled I really liked that show especially when they added Will Sasso to the cast.

Goldilocks · 02-25-2009, 12:13 PM

"Touched by An Angel" - yeah, I know it had a 9 year run, but I sobbed for days when it got cancelled.

"Keen Eddie" -

I've never forgiven FOX for cancelling this brilliant show!

"The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet" - I wasn't even born yet, but had I been alive and old enough to care, I would've been sad.

"American Dreams" - NBC got the bright idea to move this show to Wednesday nights and it lost viewers, thus getting cancelled. Although slow-moving, this show was excellent.

"Back to You" - I don't think FOX gave this enough time. (FOX is already on my short list - see "Keen Eddie" mention above.) I've been watching Kelsey Grammar since the early 80's, so for him to NOT have a TV show, is sad. Thank God for "Frasier" reruns.

That's how I feel. Even though it was long running, I still was sad.
