I'm still missing Boston Legal. And, I also went with Kyle XY, to an extent - while this last season sucked, the first 2 seasons were still great television, and it's sad to see this show end so early.

I won't really miss it, but Without a Trace should not have been cancelled. Worst Week was also good - I can definitely live without it, though.

Nighthawk76 · 05-28-2009, 01:46 AM

I really liked Life On Mars and am disappointed that it was taken off after only one season.

treky · 05-28-2009, 02:00 AM

I thought "THE SHIELD" & "TERMINATOR: THE SARAH CONNOR CRONICLES" were cancelled.
Other than that, I didn't watch any of the shows on the list, so I won't miss any of them.

comedyfreak · 05-28-2009, 04:21 AM

Didn't know the Unusuals were cancelled. I'll miss Boston Legal, Samantha Who? and Dirty Sexy MOney.

Lewis84 · 05-28-2009, 05:16 AM

I'll miss According To Jim. Although in a way I can see why it would be in the show's best interest to end now, I'll still miss having it to look forward to. It's been a big part of my life for eight years, so it's hard to let that go.

I never did see The Unusuals, but that looked like it would've been a good show.

I could see it happening, Dana left the show one of the kids isn't seen and the other two had their roles reduced. Even Cheryl isn't on as much, they mignt not even have a final show as the sets have been destroyed.

The series finale was filmed before they got rid of the set. It airs next Tuesday. Sounds like a good one too.

Lead characters disappearing is one of the reasons the show isn't as good as it used to be, in my opinion. It's just not the same without the whole group there. Thankfully though, Gracie came back this past Tuesday!

Spoiler: (Highlight this box to see the hidden message.)

And Dana will be returning next week for the finale, along with husband Ryan.

shows I'll miss that weren't on the list
Million Dollar Password
Surviving Suburbia

howierules86 · 05-28-2009, 12:58 PM

My vote goes to Samantha Who?. I just got hooked on that show about two months ago, and I am very disappointed to see it go this soon.

Buffyboy323 · 05-28-2009, 11:39 PM

The ended

ER - It was very difficult to say goodbye. ER is the best show ever, IMO. There's been nothing else like it, nor will there ever be. I've never been more invested in a show. I will miss it dearly, but it was the perfect time to end it.

Battlestar Galactica - Another one I will truly miss. Hour after hour it continued to deliver. I think it will go down in history as one of the most intense, engaging, and unique dramas of all time. It's definitely a "modern classic."

The canceled

Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles - I've always been a huge fan of the Terminator franshise. So like any Sci-fi geek would be, I was a little nervous when I heard they were making a show that took place after T2 (one of my favorite movies). The first few episodes were ok, it went downhill for a little while, then eventually bounced back (due in large part to a former 90210'er...). Overall, FOX aired 31 decent episodes of television. I don't know when that will happen again. Like many shows before it, FOX pulled the plug on this one too soon.

Samantha Who? - I didn't watch every episode, but I did watch on occasion, and I had a good time. Christina Applegate is a gem. I hope she comes back with a new show soon.

OTHER: King of The Hill - I can't believe I forgot to put this in the poll! I stopped watching the show for a long time, but over the last year I've become a fan again. For a show with 13 years and over 250 episodes under it's belt, is a half-hour series finale too much to ask for? FOX sucks!

jimpickens · 05-29-2009, 02:14 AM

My Name Is Earl and King Of The Hill

peachysquirt21 · 05-29-2009, 08:14 AM

I will really miss Dirty Sexy Money, Life On Mars & Pushing Daisies.

Tubehead · 05-31-2009, 12:55 AM

tv star collector · 05-31-2009, 08:30 AM

I'll miss Moonlight (not listed), but I got the complete series on DVD. I
just wish they had made more than 16 episodes.

I'll also miss King of the Hill, another show not listed.
