Oh, so many to count, but these are the ones I miss the most (excluding "Forever" as everyone on this board misses it, including myself):

Journeyman (Fantastic time travel show with a great cast. Highly recommended)
Firefly (Any fan of science fiction misses this show)
FlashForward (Great premise and got much better in the second half)
Pushing Daisies (The most optimistic and colorful show I've ever seen on network television. So of course it was cancelled...)
New Amsterdam (Same premise as "Forever" (which I enjoyed more), but with a more serious tone and the reason behind his immortality was explained).
No Ordinary Family (Fun superhero family show. Think "The Incredibles" meets "Sky High".)
Legend of the Seeker (Even if it wasn't entirely faithful to the book series it was based on, this was still a fun fantasy show worth checking out. I was left wanting more...)

Seeing a pattern? Most of these were ABC shows...

Yes! kcdee...I was so pleasantly surprised by the Sarah Connor Chronicles (and besides, I have loved Summer Glau ever since Firefly).

And then I was so disappointed when it was canceled.

With the best will in the world, "Highway To Heaven" couldn't have continued. Victor French died very suddenly of aggressive cancer whilst the show was on hiatus between seasons. So it ended rather than having a sixth season. There's no way Michael Landon would have gone on without him. And then Landon himself got ill not long after. I'd love for that to have gone differently, but as things stand, five seasons was all we ever could have got.

Firefly, Awake, Terriers, Rubicon, Forever, Life, Pushing Daisies and so many more. But I miss Firefly the most, it could have become a classic like Babylon 5 or Star Trek but retards from Fox had to cancel it.

Homefront - Possibly my favorite show of all time. It too was cancelled after the first season, but after a huge fan-led uproar, it came back for one more season.

Everwood

Forever getting canceled was a real downer but does anyone remember flashforward? That was one hell of a show!!

Forever and Almost Human. Both shows were SO good, I hate so much that they got cancelled. Its not fair, there's so much crap that gets renewed all the time, but they didn't even get second seasons :(

Alewiina, I agree that both were cancelled before their "time", but at least with Forever we had at least some closure of the storyline to console us.

With Almost Human we had nothing of the sort, and of the episodes shown they even played some out of order which didn't help the forward narrative.
