TV shows that were cancelled too early? - GoFuckYourself.com

Sarah_Jayne · 04-06-2009, 04:38 AM

Lord knows that TV is full of shows that have been left to go on for far too long but there have also been some shows that were cut down before they should have been.

What shows do you think were cancelled too early?

I will start by throwing Firefly into the pot as my first offering. It deserved more than one season for sure.

GregE · 04-06-2009, 04:47 AM

Not too many people here are going to remember (or have even heard of) this one, but it was way ahead of it's time; Crime Story

cykoe6 · 04-06-2009, 05:07 AM

Deadwood........ I could not believe they ended it after only three seasons.

Vicious_B · 04-06-2009, 05:19 AM

My 2 are HBO series:

Oz and Carnivale. I was so pissed about both of them ending.

Vendot · 04-06-2009, 05:30 AM

Cheers ......... they could have gone on forever.
It was always funny.

Darrell · 04-06-2009, 05:35 AM

Firefly and Deadwood

It's sounding like CBC is too broke to do a season 2 of Wild Roses.... BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!

Did you get the book? It was pretty good episode guide and the way it was set as Augusta's journal was pretty cool.

No but I do spend most of the time watching Lost pointing out to my husband yet another person in it that was in Oz first...mind you, that is worse in Dexter.

Scott McD · 04-06-2009, 09:17 AM

Friends!

I still find it more funny that any other show. People said by series 10 it wasn't as good. I didn't think so. I thought series 10 was one of the best actually.

There was still a few years left in that show...

Arrested Development

SuzzyQ · 04-06-2009, 09:19 AM

Night Stand with Dick Dietrick(1995-96)

Mocking Jerry Springer-like talk shows, Night Stand was a fake talk show hosted by lovable, Dick Dietrick, played masterfully by Timothy Stack. Dick would bring on ridiculous guests and go into a plethora of even more ridiculous questions. A Springer/Ricky Lake- type show, the "Dick Dietrick Show" would bring on guests that not even fans of the entire "outrageous" talk show genre would want to see. Many of the themes had sexual overtones, obvious to everyone watching, except for Dick himself who would make comments that everyone else found explicit, but Dick himself thought nothing of it. Soon after he would scold the audience when realizing the sexual overtone, and say, "People, no....no."

Juggernaut · 04-06-2009, 09:34 AM

Dragnet (2003) with Ed O'Neil and Star Trek Enterprise comes to mind...

rowan · 04-06-2009, 09:35 AM

Arrested Development
Greg the Bunny
Futurama (at least that's getting a new lease on life)

Ozarkz · 04-06-2009, 09:37 AM

Well a few of the shows I thought were cancelled too early everyone will disagree..

Street Customs (West coast customs show on TLC)
Unique Whips (Unique Autosports show on Speed)
Million Dollar Listings (20 yearolds selling malibu houses)

That's all that comes to mind at the moment..

CrkMStanz · 04-06-2009, 10:20 AM

Firefly !!!!

definitly sad

CashGordon · 04-06-2009, 10:25 AM

Firefly, 4400, Babylon 5 Crusade and Deadwood.

tiger · 04-06-2009, 10:30 AM

Arrested Development is at the top of that list.

I still have not seen any of Arrested Development. It sounds like the kind of show I would like but I hate shows that don't wrap up properly. Does it even though it had a short run?

The last season of 4400 was really bad though. It was compelling at the start but that last season was rubbish.

candyflip · 04-06-2009, 10:40 AM

Firefly for sure.

There was a family dramedy on Fox called "Get Real" that was a really good show and was cancelled after the first season.

JC Maldini · 04-06-2009, 10:40 AM

I would say Arrested Development and Rome. Oh and favorite show of all time....MR Show with Bob and David

Yeah, they manage to wrap it up. But it pretty much ends in the same spot it begins (almost exactly actually) but after watching the show, it makes perfect sense.

The original version of "Cupid" with Jeremy Piven was really really good. Lasted only 1 season.

96ukssob · 04-06-2009, 11:32 AM

Joey

i still think it was a good show.

Las Vegas for sure. sucks that its off the air, one of my fav shows

FilthyRob · 04-06-2009, 11:33 AM

Arrested Devlopment was a real GEM of a show. Always hilarious.
