We've all had tv shows that we've loved that have been yanked off the air for no good reason. What shows would you put on your "Brilliant, But Cancelled" List?
I would include That 80s Show, Freaks and Geeks, and That Was Then on my list.
Two that I didn't see listed that I really enjoyed were:
Drive (Fox - cancelled 1st season - surprised I didn't see this on the list anywhere - lot's of petitions and controversy about it being cancelled. Brillant plot)
Dirt - (FX) It wasn't the best - but it was addicting
Agree with:
My So Called Life
Ned and Stacy
Herman's Head
Why didn't you write me? Why? It wasn't over for me, I waited for you for seven years.(The Notebook
There are fewer and fewer shows I even bother to watch any more, but I like Swingtown and hope it's not going to end so soon.
I'm not saying some of these shows are good or bad, but for whatever reason, I miss them:
Milennium
Sliders
Night Visions
First Wave
X-Files
Northern Exposure
Twin Peaks
Politically Incorrect
Dead Like Me
Carnivale
Tru Calling
Family Plots
West Wing
Book of Daniel
The Sopranos
Six Feet Under
Kingdom Hospital!!!
Now, I mainly watch old movies and documentaries.
There have been some recent ones that have made me MAD!!
1. The Class, this show won a Peoples Choice Award and they still canceled it, it remains a mystery.
2. Popular
3. Angel Falls-I watched every episode
4. Any Day Now

I forgot to add Dead Like Me and the Black Donnelly's.
I love mankind. It's the people I can't stand.
Everyone seems to have covered the basics, and multiple times at that, but I was fond of the Jenny McCarthy sketch comedy show on MTV back in the mid 90's. Didn't last long at all, but it was hands down funnier than the other sketch comedy shows on tv that seem to last years, even decades, while being mediocre.

Man, I REALLY miss 'Alias'. But, watching 'My Own Worst Enemy' helps a little....LOL!
"Long Live, Martha Jones and Donna Noble!"
One word: Firefly.
(I also liked Stargate: Atlantis A LOT but we're talking about BRILLIANT shows, not just fun shows)
Totally agree about American Dreams. The very least they could do was an episode to wrap up what happened to Meg and Chris;they were last seen riding off on a motorcycle, defying their parents' wishes.
shareDamn, and I was really loving this program too!
shareI absolutely loved the show "Threshold" and STILL cannot figure out why it was canceled after the first season- it was awesome!
Hey! I’m playing Sims 2, holding my WebKinz, creating creatures with Spore & playing e-Dolz. OKAY?!
