    Eerie Indiana,

    Good Vs. Evil
    Brimstone
    Millennium
    Invasion
    American Gothic
    Smith

    There are loads more, but it's late and I need rest.

    Quantum Leap ... more 'brought to a graceful end' than cancelled I think, but I'd love if they started making them again.

    Oh, and Futurama... not sure what the story is with it, but t'was a quality show.

    ye futurama but it got de-cancelled now season 6 will be relased in 08


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 29,130 ✭✭✭✭Karl Hungus


    Millennium

    No, it was just as well that was cancelled. For the first 2 seasons, it was probably one of the best things to ever be on TV, but season 3 was an absolute shambles. They came up with some awful bull****, re-jigged the origins of the Millennium Group.

    Infact, that's one show I wish was cancelled earlier. If they had left season 2 at the end, it would have the perfect apocalyptic ending as oppossed to the ****e that season 3 left us with.

    I thought "Threshold" was starting to go places, right up to the moment they binned it. I wouldn't have minded another series of Angel, either.

    Farscape. Best sci-fi show ever IMO.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 311 ✭✭Passport


    Arrested Development - so good.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,383 ✭✭✭emeraldstar


    oh yeah, Popular and Freaks and Geeks.....forgot about those, used to watch em. They were funny. Never watched any of the other ones though.

    Season 3 was very poor but I would have been interested to see how it would have developed. There was also talk of Morgan and Wong returning. Season 2 was superb, possibly the finest season of television I have ever seen.

    Morgan and Wong's plans for season 3 we're very good. It was Chris Carter who decided to rearrange everything, making most of what had happened in the previous season pointless.

    About 4 months ago, AFAIK.

    Futurama shouldn't have been cancelled, IMO. It was far better than the Simpsons (at its time of cancellation) but, Fox, thought otherwise :rolleyes:

    Good to see it on the way back, though :D

    QFE

    The cancellation of no other show ever bothered me as much as Farscape...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,579 ✭✭✭BopNiblets


    Arrested Development, Futurama (lucky it's coming back), The Lone Gunmen and The Job.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,837 ✭✭✭abelard


    Lost, can't believe they've decided to bin it at this stage *
    Futurama (yay it's return)
    Carnivale
    Popular (kinda sad but I really liked it)
























    *(only joking)

    Thought threshold is up on its second/third series?

    mine are..

    firefly
    brimstone
    the lost room
    farscape
    Crusade
    Arrested Development

    probably more I can think of.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,130 ✭✭✭Yakuza


    Afraid not...Sky One showed all the episodes that were made (including some that weren't aired in the US), but that only ran to about 13-14 episodes. Yer wan who played Molly (Carla Gugino) was fairly easy on the eye, and Brent Spiner in his 60's activist / conspiricy theorist was a hoot.

    Best Ever Spitting Image Moments has just started on UTV, made me realise just how great this show was.

    I can't believe that nobody (including myself) has mentioned Twin Peaks!
    *slap muh fro*
    My God, if ever there was a show they never should have cancelled.
