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

Dead Like Me
Pushing Daisies
Futurama
Jericho
Arrested Development
Eli Stone

I used to say Surface, but after watching it again I was like...seriously it took them a whole season to just do that? Too slow of a boil.

Carnivale
Deadwood
Masters of Horror
Fear Itself(Might have been good with time, writing, and effort.)

These are the main ones that have stuck in my mind over the years.

The Night Stalker (the 1970's and 2005 versions both were great shows)

The only series you mentioned that didn't suck was maybe Dark Angel.

Dead Like Me had a perfect ending.

Jericho had a great first season but season 2 sucked.

Arrested Development was run so far into the ground it was beyond believable.

I know other people have already listed this one, but I've gotta say it again anyways...

CARNIVALE

It still pisses me off to this day that Carnivale was canceled before they finished the series... In fact, it's SO frustrating to me that part of me wishes they hadn't aired the show at all... It was just such a TEASE!

The show was so effing phenomenal! Probably one of the best ever to air on television, and they cut it off after two seasons, all because HBO wasn't willing to commit to two more seasons, even though they knew from the get-go that the seasons came in pairs... Bunch of jerks!!!

Canceling Carnivale was BY FAR the STUPIDEST and LAMEST move HBO ever made...

And quite possibly the biggest tragedy to ever beset the world of modern television.

I completely agree~!

CARNIVALE!!!

T-T

Other shows I adore that get canceled at least often come to fitting ends beforehand, like Pushing Daisies and Dollhouse. But stopping Carnivale like that was just beyond upsetting! Showed me that whoever decides these things at HBO is evil. :\

Ok well most of these have been mentioned but mine are:
Veronica Mars
Reunion
Masters of Horror (don’t know if this counts since I didn’t find out about it till it was over)
Invasion
Threshold
Drive
John Doe
Pushing Daisies
Flash Forward.
These have not been mentioned,
Happy Town
Day break
The Nine
Journeyman
It’s really upsetting because 6 of these didn’t even air all the episodes that were filmed, and four others only got one season at the most, in fact of these shows Veronica Mars was the longest lived and it only had three seasons.

Flash--f@@ckin--forward
...and Invasion...
...and Threshold....

Network TV?? I'll never put on a life jacket again.,,,

Masters of Horror.
Clerks the series. (It wasn't great, but it had potential)
Firefly.
Dark Angel.
The 4400.
The Mighty Boosh. (I'm not sure if it was canceled, but it's been three years since it's last season)
The(original)Prisoner.
I could go on. Canceling all these good shows just pisses me off.

This ain't my first tea party...
