Gacked from lots of people
Name ten cancelled shows you love. Extra credit for those killed before their time. Double extra credit for shows with major queer text/subtext.
Jake 2.0: Duh. I adored the hell out of it, and they killed it. And they didn't even give us a whole season, damn it.
Now and Again: There is a reason I love Eric Close. If they could put this out on DVD, I'd appreciate it.
The Flash: No, seriously. Of course, I was about thirteen when it was on TV, but I'm pretty sure John Wesley Shipp was one of my first crushes.
Firefly: You know, I didn't really watch it when it was on TV, but now that I have it on DVD, I'm so pissed about it getting cancelled. I need the movie yesterday.
The Invisible Man: Vincent Ventresca. Mmmm.
Max Headroom: I can remember watching that when I was a wee one, and maaaaan ... I hate TV execs. Cancelling good stuff. Ugh.
Cupid: Another show I only saw after it had been cancelled. Sometimes the Sci-Fi Channel is both a godsend and a vicious taunt.
Strange Luck: DB Sweeney once a week, and weird, almost supernatural luck of both the good and bad variety. What wasn't to love?
Clerks: You know, the cartoon. Someone seriously needs to explain to me why this was cancelled after a handful of episodes. (I'm not being literal. Please don't explain it to me. You'll only depress me.)
Buffy the Vampire Slayer: It had its day, but it could have gone on for the rest of my life and I would have been happy it was at least there.
Bonus -- Misfits of Science: I can't really remember if it was cancelled or it just ended because Dean Paul Martin died in a plane crash, but I have such good memories of that show and really wish they'd release it on DVD. (Shyeah, right.)
Jake 2.0: Duh. I adored the hell out of it, and they killed it. And they didn't even give us a whole season, damn it.

Re: more than ten, sorry...
Also, the Sci-Fi Channel is running a Twilight Zone marathon right now. They've already had episodes with Shatner and Nimoy; later they'll have one with James Doohan. Thus, they'll satisfy the Trek fans who aren't getting their fix because of the marathon.
I second the thing about Friends... and most of the current crop of sit-coms and reality shows that currently permeate the television landscape. Then again, I'm a WWE addict, so what do I know?
Re: more than ten, sorry...
As for sit-coms...I can't remember the last one I liked that wasn't also animated. Might've been Soap...which just goes to point out how long it's been since the networks put out what I consider a decent sit-com. I'm pretty sure if they deep-sixed every sitcom on the air now that used real actors instead of animation, it wouldn't change my viewing habits one bit.
