    :mad: i would like to fire the first bullet at The CW for cancelling a favourite of mine, Privileged. It got an intial run of 13 episodes and The CW liked it soo much they ordered an additional 5, while the season finale only got 1.8m viewers it did seem they liked the show and wanted a second season.

    But apparently they got offered a Models Inc. type show in the interm which pushed Privileged out of the running....... :(

    Bah 'Medium' got cancelled so Jay Leno can shove his annoying face onto the screen five times a week. Grrr!

    I see skynet sent someone back from the future to cancel The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It was the only way the machines could win.
    What will I do for my fix of Summer Glau now...Firefly re-runs?

    when is the Richard Dower show being cancelled?

    It's ratings have slightly dropped this season but the producers plan a big story arc to recapture the awe of season 1 which was clear from the critical acclaim from fans and media types alike.

    So stick with it :p

    Life. I was starting to really get into it. And somehow freakin' Dollhouse got a second season.

    Life > Dollhouse.

    Yeah came across that later. Hope it happens - shows have jumped networks before and 'Medium' has a good audience. I'm still enjoying it all these years on.

    Hope so - liked it a lot.

    T'would be awesome if that were true, though i would expect major budget cuts.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,503 ✭✭✭✭Also Starring LeVar Burton


    Not happy about the "My Name Is Earl" situation. Hopefully Fox or ABC pick it up. At least Ethan Suplee is keeping us updated via Twitter - ya gotta love that guy.

    life + 3 here

    In recent memory the 3 shows that got cancelled that I was most bummed about where:

    Jericho - Absolutely loved the premise behind this show. It was setting itself up to be an excellent Hero story also. Was really gutted that it got cancelled, even after a solid second season got pushed through.

    Space: Above and Beyond - Yeah I know it's old, but I loved this show. It was equally a space sci-fi epic as much as it was a commentary on war and human nature.

    Arrested Development - Even though I think the 3rd season had a perfect ending, I would of loved to of seen this show keep going. The cast and writing was simply perfect.

    CBS's decision to cancel The Unit *really* bums me out. Twas without a doubt one of my favorite shows on television.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 400 ✭✭tagoona


    The Unit was indeed very well done. I'm gonna miss it greatly.
    My Name is Earl I thought had gone downhill this season.
    I can't believe Life was canned. That was really going places.

    Arghh, what are they at, the fools. :eek:

    I really hope that this is true.


    The show that I wish hadn't been cancelled was Tru Calling, they cancelled it about six episodes into the second series as far as I know.

    Oh, and Quantum Leap, really wish they'd resurrect it for a few more episodes so we can find out if Sam ever made the leap home.....

    Then I'd like to complain that it HASN'T been cancelled. Same for the Simpsons.

    Scrubs is alright, though I don't generally watch it. The Simpsons have had their day though, and that day was in 1994.

    Dollhouse and Life are on different networks, so one has nothing to do with the other. Dollhouse and Terminator are however both on Fox, and though they deny that it was an either-or situation, it's hard to see how it wasn't. Dollhouse was renewed (which I was happy about) and Terminator was not (which I am not happy about), and there was definitely room for both.

    Really pissed with NBC (once again) about Life. They're gotten as trigger happy as Fox. Also a bit pissed about Privileged, even though it was pappy crap, it was good. That was my shameful secret TV series.

    Kyle XY was also canned. Although it was 7th Heaven with a Sci-fi flare, I quite enjoyed the Sci-fi part of it. Why ABC Family (a TV station with practically nothing on it) would cancel the one show worth watching, is beyond me.

    I am sooo mad that lipstick jungle got cancelled..i love this show its deadly, and should not have been cut


  • Banned (with Prison Access) Posts: 21,634 ✭✭✭✭Richard Dower


    I'm glad some acknowledges how great Kyle XY was....the left the series hanging on a MASSIVE cliffhanger!!, fair enough season 2 was patchy, but season 3 really ramped up and Jessi XX was just excellent!

    I don't think it was 7th Heaven per se, Secret Life Of The American Teenager qualifies for that tag, but it was quite sappy....but i liked the fact it had a good heart and the characters were mostly likeable.

    Sadly it's dead and i don't see any other network picking it up, but what i'd like to see is a TV movie on ABC Family....just to give it a proper ending.

    + 1
    + 1
    + 100000000 on life

    The next season would have been great - To keep things interesting we (myself and the 1 person i know who watches it) where hoping he would get a serial killer who he spends the season chacing so he has 2 walls on his gaf -1 for the killer
    1 for the overall season 1 and 2 story because it wasent all answered
    and then they could still have those fun little stand alone episodes

    would have been wopper!
