I miss Rachel Nichols

Although technically Continuum wasn't cancelled it seemed like a rushed job near the end. I also miss Primeval, that show should have lasted 10+ seasons imo

The number one spot of my favorite cancelled shows list goes to Firefly. I feel that Firefly was a little ahead of its time. I have to be 100% honest. The first scene with River creeped me out quite a bit.

firefly was completely derivative of Space opera Japanese animes the came before it.

It was a good presentation of it..

I too wish they'd keep making firefly..

But without the original cast, it's just not possible.. our captain is just too fat and old now..

I miss Hannibal so much, I wish more people watched it, so NBC could be happy.

Also Doll house makes me sad. I wish that was on for longer.

The Killing
- Season 1 was great. Season 2, eh, should have been part of Season 1. Season 3...um, no. Season 4, good, but contrived to wrap things up. This series deserved better, and the acting by the two main characters was phenomenal.

Longmire
- This got picked up by Netflix after A&E dropped it. Really good show, based on the book series.

Almost Human
- Why did this get canceled? Oh, because I liked it, and shows I like get canceled.

Outsourced
- Based on the movie of the same title. This should have gone somewhere, but didn't

Guys With Kids
- This was hilarious. What gives, NBC?

Friends With Better Lives
- Another funny one. Zoe Lister-Jones went here after Whitney got canceled. James Van Der Douche starred.

Whitney
- A couple of stand-up comedians make a sitcom. Good for some laughs, but what went wrong? Zoe Lister-Jones stole the show.

Dead Like Me
- Apparently Mandy Patinkin likes to quit shows in the middle of a season with no warning. Great work ethic, there, Inigo Montoya.

Delocated. On Adult Swim. Oddly, this is one of my favorite comedic shows of all time. Only lasted 3 seasons.

King Of The Hill. I mean, it ran its course. Still wish there was more.

I remember Outsourced. That show was pretty good too.

I forgot to mention Sealab 2021. I miss the insanity of that show

It's time has passed, even Wheddon says to let it go, you can never recreate it. Well, maybe, but its more likely to ruin what remains.

Quite a few shows were like that, Dead Like Me was a great show, they expected it to get picked up and didn't. I would have liked to seen the X-Files spinoff The lone Gunmen continue as well. Instead we get trash like Real B*tches of Beverly Hills.

Hannibal, although I hate the Will Graham character and his imagination bull****, it is still a very great show on visuals and story, let alone Mikkelsen performance as Hannibal. I wish they've sold it to Netflix rather than Amazon and now the show is nowhere near to be back

Agree totally with this. And of course, Firefly.

The networks that I think have the best policy/track record with shows are AMC and USA. In general, they will schedule things and let them have their chance- no matter what it looks like from a ratings perspective. If they're getting ready to cancel something that's been on a while, they'll give it an abbreviated season to finish up. And I can get on board with that.

But I'm done with most shows on other networks. It just seems too much a waste of time to get involved and then it be cancelled.

Man, no one mentioned Cowboy Bebop

I think TP alluded to it but I'm not 100% certain.

See most of my recommendations in the TV thread. Clone High, Frisky Disngo, Harvey Birdman, etc. So many great cartoons that were cancelled. And of course the usual Firefly, Freaks and Geeks, and such. Oh and Cromartie High.

RIP Harvey Birdman. 4 seasons of like 12 10 minute episodes was way too short
