Actually, as much as I love Deadwood, if season 3 is any indication, it was canceled right on time.

What about Jericho or Persons Unknown? Or Las Vegas, they needed 1 more season to tie up a lot of story lines. A Deadwood movie would have been interesting.

(1) Columbo? Baywatch? They went on farking *forever*.

(2) WTF is up with that page layout?

Journeyman? *checks list* Subby lies!

list fails without "Lucky Louie"

Profit.
Space: Above and Beyond.
The Masquerade.

Farscape?

==============================================================

Season 4 was supposed to be the final season where everything came to a head (and thus, probably be awesome)... and the end of the season would be when deadwood burns to the frakking ground.

Screw you Milch! I wanted that!!

Freaks & Geeks?

Arrested Development ended right when it needed too.


As a series as a whole, they did a really good job with that show.

ongbok: What about Jericho or Persons Unknown? Or Las Vegas, they needed 1 more season to tie up a lot of story lines. A Deadwood movie would have been interesting.

I am glad they mentioned Deadwood. Easily the best show ever cancelled too soon and usually doesn't get mentioned in these types of lists (although McShane was in Kings which was also really good). Season 3 was a bit weak, but I could see how a weaker season 3 was more like a set up for what could have been an awesome season 4.

Vodka Zombie: Wonderfalls was a great show.

What about the show John Doe? That one was one of the all-time cliffhanger cancellations in TV history.

THIS!

Came for Caprica, leaving disappoited.


/also came for Zooey Deschanel, but that's a whole nother issue.

The two are notable in just about every way possible: "Arrested" for reviving Jason Bateman's career, making an alternative star of David Cross, and giving the public a young Michael Cera;

Because Mr. Show didn't already do that?

Lord_Dubu: Profit.

I really wanted to like that show but it swayed from good to ridiculous in a short period of time.

brigid_fitch: Where's ... "The Tick"?

I would like to have seen more of Terriers.

Liar, "Andy Richter Controls the Universe" isn't on that list.

Walker: I'm glad Wonderfalls was on there. I thought that was a great show and I'm not even religious. A lot of the shows on the list like Baywatch (rolls eyes) should have been dropped from the list and replaced with shows like "Carnivale" or "Action". The latter one being a show way ahead of it's time. It was Entourage before there was an Entourage.

Wonderfalls was religious?

jake3988: and thus, probably be awesome

OK, but Langrishe would have had to have been killed in spectacular fashion. In episode 1. In the first eight minutes.

Jericho should have been on the list. Season 1 was good and 2 could have been so much better if it wasn't rushed cause they knew they were on life support.

I'm very happy to see police squad on the list. 6 of the funniest television episodes I've ever seen.

I'm sad The Cape didn't get picked up, it was starting to grow on me.

The theater group was kind of annoying, but watching McShane and Brian Cox act off each other in their scenes was totally awesome.

Also is anyone else tired of Firefly showing up on these lists. I watched an episode or two of that show and I can totally see why it was cancelled. It was so bad, there was a pretty obvious reason it had a tiny audience and it wasn't just because of how the network handled it.

ROME!!!!!

ROME!!!!

ROME!!!!

/Rome
//did I mention Rome?

Star Trek? Did the writer of this list even see the third season.

No mention of Twin Peaks? That show had the cliffhanger to end all cliffhangers.

pilots13: Jericho should have been on the list. Season 1 was good and 2 could have been so much better if it wasn't rushed cause they knew they were on life support.

I'm very happy to see police squad on the list. 6 of the funniest television episodes I've ever seen.

Season 2 of Jericho wasn't rushed because it was on life support it was rushed because the studio gave them 6 episodes to tie up all of the story lines and to give the show a end. If that show had a proper season 2 and 3 it could have been an all time great.

The Young Ones. Cancelled or not, we needed more.

I third the motion:

Whar The Tick whar?

Where's Gilligan's Island? It was canceled after only three seasons, but spawned numerous movies.

Okay, Columbo? Seriously? It was on for 7 farking years. Most shows are pretty ripe for death at that point.

No Invader Zim?

List fails.

/hot

EdVenture: I'm sad The Cape didn't get picked up, it was starting to grow on me.

Really? I struggled to get through the first episode. What a POS.

Columbo was on for 8 years.

Carnivale was cancelled way too soon.

Miss you buddy.

silvervial: ROME!!!!!

ROME!!!!

ROME!!!!

/Rome
//did I mention Rome?

While I love this show as well, it wasn't cancelled early. The story ended where it needed to. The biggest gripe I am have was that they could have made 4 seasons out of what they did in the 2 seasons. Actium, which is one of the most important events in ancient Rome's history, was merely mentioned in the final episode. So much potential wasted.

Also if we are talking about a list of cartoons, Clone High should be on the top of that list.

bullseye: /hot

was gonna say the same thing
