Gacked from lots of people

[apocalypsos]

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.)

Green Hornet - Bruce Lee as Cato!

The Hilarious House of Dr. Frightenstein - Great kids show with Vincent Price and sneaky science

Kolchak: The Night Stalker - Brilliant, freaky, and one of my childhood faves.

Night Gallery - It used to give me nightmares. :)

X-Files - Yeah, I know the last six seasons sucked. In my head, it stopped after the 4th one.

Haunted - My kind of show. I think I was the only one who watched it.

Buffy, the Vampire Slayer. Nuff said.

Angel, the Series - They had just hit their stride. ::sniff::

Invader Zim - the strangest cartoon ever.

and the one I miss the most:
Twin Peaks - such a brilliant, intelligent show. Layers upon layers upon layers.

OMG. The Grammar Slammer!

What show was that from? I've been trying to remember for weeks -- and you ...you KNOW!

Oh, and I agree about Haunted, Kolchak, Frightenstein, Green Hornet, Twin Peeks, and Cupid.

From The Hilarious House of Dr. Frightenstein (http://www.frightenstein.com). ::grin::

Oh, my god - someone else besides me actually saw that series?!?

I just finished the series again after not having seen it in years, and yeah, man, I could have used another season of Twin Peaks.

I used to go to work the next day, and the other copywriter and I would spend hours deconstructing it, discussing the references, and speculating on where Lynch was going. ::sigh:: I was so sad that he broke the toy at the end.
