apocalypsosName 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.

more than ten, sorry...
Date: 2004-07-03 09:36 pm (UTC)The Flash.
American Gothic.
Dark Skies.
Angel.
Futurama. (This is supposedly its last season).
The Family Guy.
Clerks
The Night Stalker, The Twilight Zone, Outer Limits (v.1), Green Hornet, classic Star Trek ('60's and '70's...hey, I'm dating myself here...)
V
Kindred: the Embraced
The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.
The Lone Gunmen
Space Rangers; The Phoenix (both lasted all of 6 episodes)
Golden Years (Stephen King show)
My list is, of course, heavily slanted towards SF/horror and animated shows.
My counter to this would be, name 10 (or even 5) shows you WISH they would cancel. They didn't get Friends off the air nearly soon enough for my taste.

Date: 2004-07-04 11:51 pm (UTC)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?

Date: 2004-07-05 09:20 am (UTC)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.
