Favorite shows that have been cancelled....

[PeppyGPhiB]

This thread is full of LOLz. A bunch of shows I haven't heard of...makes you realize how temporary TV programming is today. As for shows I watched faithfully and remember being upset when they were cancelled:

- My So Called Life - only failed because the network put it in the same time slot as Friends!
- Growing Pains
- Dallas
- Cosby Show
- Arsenio Hall
- Double Dare - oh how I wanted to be on that show!
- Felicity - along with MSCL the only series I own on DVD
- Jericho (might be getting a second life as an original series on Netflix!)
- Law & Order

Wait, L&O is cancelled? The original or all incarnations?

The original/flagship. That is why I watch the marathons almost everyday. I blame Anthony Anderson for its downfall. LOL.

Here's the deal, the Cancellation Gods could've had L&O Criminal Intent and let us keep L&O. The only good ones are L&O and L&O SVU.

Preach.

Since this got bumped...

I'll add Stargate SG-1 to my list. It was still on the air when I posted my original list in '04. SG-1 was definitely one of those shows that was cancelled after it really should have been cancelled. Everything was wrapped up nicely at the end of season 8, but no ... they had to make money. So they invented a new enemy, pulled over a couple of folks from Farscape, and tried to keep the show going with an almost-all-new SG-1 team. It didn't work, IMO.

I wasn't crazy about Stargate Atlantis or Stargate Universe.

Speaking of Farscape, I can't believe I didn't list it the first time around.

ETA:

Andromeda
Dollhouse
Chuck

I kind of liked Vala and Mitchell, but I agree it needed to go. It's funny, the other day me and my friend were talking and decided to try to rent Andromeda and watch it. We couldn't find it anywhere. It made me very sad, and made me think I was imagining the show.
