Premature burial that causes you the most pain....

Your Favourite Cancelled TV Series

I can recall Sliders. I wish it was still on. Also, I don't remember why, but the few episodes of that 80's show that I saw were amusing.

 

[Worf]

I've several:

Homocide - Life on the Streets
Star Trek - The original series
The Event - Gone too soon....
Paris - Great James Earle Jones

Just a few off the top of my head.

Arrested Development.
One Step Beyond, brought to you by Alcoa. Great series based on true events, too bad it didn't last.

The Rifleman
Lost In Space
Scooby Doo

[JonnyO]

Emergency!

 

[Widebrim]

Kung Fu, Time Tunnel (although it was low-budget in many ways...), Life on Mars, Mr. Ed, Crime Story, to name a few.

 

[JWS34]

I was very young at the time, but I would like to take another look at Crime story with Dennis Farina.

 

[AmateisGal]

Home Front. It was about America right after World War II. Only lasted two seasons, but I loved it. John Slattery was on it (now he is on Mad Men).

 

[Naphtali]

"The Rockford Files"

"Monk"

A&E's "Nero Wolfe"

"Miss Marple" - Joan Hixon

 

[I Adore Film Noir]

The Twilight Zone
American Bandstand (Philadelphia)

 

[Flat Foot Floey]

I wish there was more of Jeeves and Wooster. I don't know if it counts as "cancelled" though.

A series that started promising was "Carnivale" set in a 1930s dust bowl circus scenario. I saw a few parts of series one but stopped after I read it was discontinued. They established characters and mysteries (not as bad as LOST but still) and it felt like a waste of time if all that just stopped in the middle of a bigger story.

i watched the first two seasons of Carnivale and it has a sort of ending at end of season two but not really. i must admit, the proposed six seasons seems a bit ambitious given the subject matter. i'm not surprised they pulled the plug.

Hi

They need to re-start "Married with Children" with a new family. If that show didn't make you feel better about your family then BOY you got problems.

I miss Emergency, Columbo, The Rockford Files, Magnum PI (watched at work), and the Beverly Hillbillies.

Later

[DesertDan]

Star Trek (TOS)
Firefly

A few other shows that I was sad to see come to an end but believe ended at the right place in their story arc:

The Lost Room
Babylon5

There's simply too many cancelled shows over the years to list that were great. Noticing that's not true much these days on the networks. 98% of what we like is all cable now.
