im sick of all these great shows getting cancelled before they have had a chance to gain a great audience or there ratings dont match the fat cats in there glass towers expectations half the shows that gets show and cancelled dont even make it to other countries like australia(where im from),the uk,japan ect so it gives them no fighting chance.anyway here are my top favourite cancelled series:

theshold
surface
the 4400(even though it had 4 seasons)
bionic woman
drive
veronica mars
the loop
dark angel
masters of horror
traveler

alot of them are left with unanswered questions and cliffhangers which piss alot of veiwers off but please contribute i will add more tv shows if i can think of them.cheers

Was Rome actually cancelled? I thought it was always supposed to only be 2 seasons.

Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity.

I forgot about The Adventures of Brisco County Jr. that was such a great show. It got kinda weird with the time traveling plot but, I loved that show, back to back with The X-Files (one of my fave shows that I actually wish had gotten cancelled sooner) my friday nights were set.

-Carnivale
-Lucky Louie (REALLY deserved a lot more)
-Firefly
-Twin Peaks
-Masters of Horror (at least we are getting a Season 3, kind of)

Carnivale was great and I can't believe HBO was ignorant enough to cancel such a great show while ratings were increasing, or not to renew it recently since it has since gained a massive cult fan base. Lucky Louie was one of my favorite shows to see in a long time, and because I got HBO just to see it they cancel it. Bastards. Firefly had no business being cancelled, but at least there may be a second movie, unlike Twin Peaks, which was planed to expand and conclude with 2 or 3 movies, but after the first one (a prequel) bombed they disarded the rest. Keep in mind the show ended with multiple cliffhangers. Masters of Horror we at least are getting a Season 3, just one that will be watered down and has a gay name. I'll still watch it since it's deffinately better than being left with nothing (plus they'll be uncut on DVD).

"Welcome to the Final Act"---Scream 3

Zelda, I'm so glad you mentioned Lucky Louie! I loved it too. (Louis C.K. does have a new comedy coming out called Louie.)

I also agree with:

Angel (a better show than Buffy, IMO)
Dark Shadows '91
FlashForward
Committed (obscure 2005 comedy)
Invasion
Arrested Development
Firefly
Dollhouse (it had potential!)

MST3K :(

[–] Morson 17 years ago

I am shocked there are only two votes for Firefly and one for MST3k. Damn people. Those shows really didn't deserve their fate; I keep hearing great things about Arrested Development too, but never got a chance to check it out. :(

I'm going to vote for GvsE here too. I found that show hilarious until Sci-Fi took it, renamed it to Good vs Evil, and dropped the humor. Then it was just horrible and ultimately canceled. :(

I guess my taste in shows is bad because almost every show that I watch gets the axe

Masters Of Horror
Dead Like Me
Arrested Development
Shark
Carnivale
Deadwood
Huff
Millennium

Kitchen Confidential
Wonderfalls
Invasion
Surface
American Gothic (!)
Traveler
Firefly
Brisco County Jr.
....and so many more heartbreaks.

I'm thankful DVD gives us an opportunity to view unaired eps.

Surface was a real let down....what a way to end it. =(
