Wonderfalls

Dead Like Me

Arrested Development

Studio 60

Kindnapped

(Honorable mention: Emily's Reasons Why Not. May have not been the best but geez ABC give it a chance!)

Probably, although I really hope not, Pushing Daisies soon, since it is a brillantly funny and orginal show, it has no chance. But ABC is a little better than FOX at keeping their shows around.

what about brian
fastlane

cupid
damon

i recently finished "playmakers" and was seriously impressed. I highly recommend. My boyfriend and i watched all of it in two days (when i had a big test coming up i might add) and we intend to watch all 11 episodes again soon.

for those of you unfamiliar it's about football players on their off time; ignoring injuries, using drugs, spousal abuse, and a closet case gay guy. rumor has it that even though ratings were great it was cancelled because the NFL whined about it making them look bad and threatened to stop working with ESPN. which i guess it kinda did but they do that to themselves even more.

A few of my favourites:

Futurama
Star Trek TOS
American Gothic
Randall and Hopkirk (Deceased) AKA My Partner the Ghost
The Champions (possibly to return in movie form, which may or may not be a good thing, but if it does come back I really, really hope it's good).
The 4400
MAX HEADROOM (I make no apology for shouting this - it still irritates the hell out of me that something so incredible should be treated so shabbily. There's not even a legitimate DVD release available... I sincerely thank whoever put all 14 eps out as a torrent, along with the original British pilot and a host of other MH goodies too).

I'm not familiar with Drive, but I was curious enough to come to the board and see what people thought of it. I get the impression it was good, but if it just comes to an abrupt stop (as would seem to be the case) as opposed to a proper conclusion, I don't think I'll be hunting for the eps... too many shows have ended that way for my liking, and I don't want to get into another one like that...at least not knowingly so anyway.

I agree with a lot of the previous posts. Gotta say the ones that upset me the most were

Studio 60
Veronica Mars
Drive
Joan of Arcadia
Wonderfalls
Firefly

One I haven't seen mentioned yet that a lot of people might not remember is High Incident, perhaps one of the finest cop dramas ever produced. So sad when that got axed.

I'm also afraid that soon the top of my list shall have my beloved How I Met Your Mother on it.

Wonderfalls.

X-Files (Surprised nobody mentioned this)

I saw David Duchovny on Kimmel/Letterman/Leno (one of those) and he said that they were going to make another X-Files movie. I saw this about 2 years ago.

Fox is murder on new shows...

reply

Hey FOX take a look just about every post mentions FIREFLY! *seeth* I loved Drive it got me into watching tv again and hunting for canceled shows. I like Veronica Mars, Arrested Development, Just started watching the Inside and daybreak, Son notorious (so sue me Zachary Quinto as a flamboyant gay man makes me giggle), Greg the bunny,Star Trek TOS (but if it didn't it wouldn't be the powerhouse it is today), Spaced (I actually have the british dvds for this one), and I really hope Chuck doesn't go that way it almost did. But if it does, bring back Firefly! Can't have them both sadly.

Actor i drool for at the moment:
Adam Baldwin

reply

I'm three years too late, but I'm pretty sure Spaced wasn't cancelled. If I can remember correctly Pegg and Stevenson decided they wanted to end it after season two sometime between season one and two. I'm glad they did. I would have loved for it to continue, but to me Spaced is one of those shows that wouldn't benefit from many seasons in the long run. Its brevity is what gives it that "it was brilliant while it lasted" quality.

And I do miss Tru Calling...Dollhouse didn't draw me in nearly as much.


I only do it with superheroes.
