Just heard the news that NBC just canceled Life (http://tvbythenumbers.com/2009/05/05/life-ends-at-nbc/18081). That was one of my favourite shows. :(
In this thread we bitch about TV cancellations and reminisce on good canceled television programs.

I really liked Surface, but they cancelled it. :( Bastards.
Same thing with Veronica Mars, I got into it late but I was sad to see it cancelled.

Firefly. The epitome of wrongful cancellations.

I'm with you, man. It seems like this past few years, practically any show I've ever loved has been cancelled far too soon. I think TV, with the old advertisement based financial infrastructure is in trouble, which seems to mean mass cancellations of anything good that's not on HBO.

I just caught an episode of the unusuals last night and when I checked imdb it seems to already be canceled. How can you cancel a show after like 6 episodes when I haven't seen an ad for it at all...

How was that show? I heard about it, but never checked it out.

It's your average cop show with a focus on black humor. I thought it was pretty cool. Not the best show ever, but better than anything else that was on;) I can't think of examples off the top of my head, but there were a few chuckles.

No cancellation will ever hurt that bad, because no show will ever be as good for such a short time.

There was a show several years ago called Now and Again that only had one season that ended with a cliffhanger. it was a great show with two great actors that would go on to play other reputable roles
also, Stan Lee's Stripperella :)

This. Luckily it looks like the movie is a go.
On a sidenote, the last Scrubs episode was broadcast last night. There may actually be another season, but it'll be a totally different show, without J.D. and other cool characters.

Futurama, which in reality was canceled but Adult Swim/Comedy Central bought rights to air it which in return brought a bigger audience to make the 4 movies that they did and then again in return brought more sales for it to come back for another season

What about Studio 60 on the sunset strip? Did anyone else watch that? I thought it was really good. Good characters, and pretty interesting stories etc.

Dead Like Me was a great show. Those bastards. Dark Angel was another good one (and who doesnt want to split Jessica Alba in two?).
Firefly was mentioned, i fully believe it could've been a contender with Stargate and Galactica.
I thought Eureka was canceled but i just looked it up and it's coming back in 2010! w00t!

Sweet shit, I started watching it again last night.
Also, Reboot, Clone high, undergrads and the one with the kid with the odd-shaped head and the girl friend that looked like a toad.
Fuck those shows shaped my ...teenage-hood?

Yeah they're pulling a family guy and splicing the 4 movies into the upcoming season.
Anyways Dollhouse is cancelled. What is that 3 in a row for Joss Whedon? Lol

I thought My Own Worst Enemy cancellation was unjustified.
It wasn't the.best.show.EVER, but it ranked higher than some of the crap on TV.

I loved Now & Again, I remember being very ticked off when it got cancelled.
Does anyone remember a show called John Doe? It ended after the first season on this big cliffhanger and got cancelled. I was furious about that :mad:

Fuck I was hoping nobody would mention it so I could. That's the one show at the top of my head that I would want to see again. Fuck it, I'm torrenting whatever is out there.

If were talking about the animated Reboot I thought that show was given a proper ending after being revived and picked up on Toonami?

Fuck yeah. I've only seen it on TV like once ever, but it was fucking hilarious. There used to be full episodes on youtube until Google bought them out.

No, I think the third season is scheduled to air this year.
Also, thank god they renewed delocated for a second season, I loved that show and I don't understand all the hate it got.
First good thing Adult Swim has done in a long time IMO.
Also, Frisky Dingo got cancelled (if it hasn't been said yet).
Goddamn adult swim...
Edit; Gonna check out that 3 South show right now, seems pretty cool from the wikipedia page.

I don't think you'll be disappointed.
Also Adult Swim just cancelled Drinky Crow. Which was a good move, because that cartoon was fucking terrible. Superjail is getting a season 2 though which is the fuckin shit.
They need to give whats on tv a chance. Not 8 episodes I am talking 1-2 seasons.

I liked that show It launched a lot of actors careers. I hate to say it but if it getting canceled is what had to happen to launch said careers then so be it.
