    http://tv.yahoo.com/blog/the-best-brilliant-but-cancelled-dramas-of-the-decade--101

    An interesting article here about some cancelled tv shows. Have to agree with a good few of them that I watched.

    Carnivale was a great show that left us with an ending that was not satisfying.

    The same with Deadwood,we were promised extra eps to give us an ending but they never delivered.

    Everwood was a well acted show that was better than most "family dramas" you see these days. At least we got some kind of ending with that. Same with Jack and Bobby. A well done show but didn't get recognition it deserved. Again though we did get some kind of conclusion which is always a good thing.

    Traveler and Veronica Mars were also tragic loses,and although many wont agree I thought Joan of Arcadia was a well worked drama,and got interesting when they brought Wentworth "Prison Break" Miller in as the bad guy only for it to be cancelled.

    Party Animals, could have been a House of cards.

    Mad Men's Don Draper : What you call love was invented by guys like me, to sell nylons.

    Eh helloooo!! Firefly??
    I'm still bitter over Carnivale if I won the Euromillions next week I'd pay for another season myself! Well, a few episodes at least I hear it was fairly pricey to shoot!

    Of the list all I was into was Studio 60. I enjoyed that alort.

    Freaks and Geeks is my favourite cancelled drama. It only lasted one series. Had so many future famous faces in it. Check it out if you haven't seen it!

    Joan of Arcadia & Everwood are no loss to anyone. Jericho was decent, Veronica Mars was fun but nothing to be bothered about. Space Above & Beyond getting cancelled was a catastrophe, as was the cancellation of FarScape. I enjoyed Rome too, surprised it didn't succeed.
