TV Show you think was cancelled too soon?

I hate bonding with the bad guy, he has to get his comeuppance. I just couldn't find it's appeal.

I guess it goes back to what I was tellin' you about the Wire, deeg.

There was absolutely no "buy in" for the audience. Either you automatically loved all things mafia, and loved the show, or you didn't.

Tony was never anything more than a big, fat, sweaty mobster that every so often didn't feel super-great about killing somebody.

I was watching reruns of this show a coupla months ago. My siblings and I used to
love this, we'd all gather in the bed with chips and Hawaiian Punch for the
Honeymooners, then Tales From the Darkside.

I liked Tales from the Darkside & Tales From The Crypt too. Lately the only thing i can get into is funny shows like Scrubs & Unhitched. Oh, and Conan O'Brien. :)

I disagree, it was much more than a mob show if you looked beyond that construct. But to each his own...perhaps you're just turned off by fat, sweaty guys.
 
Did anyone else here like Lexx? Me & my sister used to watch it all the time, but that's probably cuz we had a crush on Xenia Seeburg & Kai. My mom couldn't watch it cuz it was too bizarre. And we used to watch Tripping The Rift too.
 
Deadwood. It wasn't really cancelled. It just faded away due to indifference.

Seinfeld. I still miss it. :(
 
Ooh i know! I miss watching Liquid Television as a kid, with stuff on it like Aeon Flux & The Maxx. And more recently Korgoth! What the hell happened to Korgoth? :(

Neither Seinfeld nor The Sopranos was canceled, they both had series finales and ran until their creators terminated them.

NBC begged Seinfeld to produce another season, but Jerry decided against it. So, in a way, it was cancelled. Not by the network, but by the creator/producer.

I loved The Sopranos, but that show had clearly run its course and left at the right time.

By that definition, any show that isn't still on the air was cancelled.

That's true. But it's not like the network said: "Enough, that show is history." NBC wanted Seinfeld to keep going. Jerry did not. Cheers was the same way. NBC didn't want to lose it's top rated program, but Ted Danson was finished as Sam.

It's interesting. There are consistent rumours of a Seinfeld reunion of some sort.
 
I never cared for Seinfeld. I'm more of a Drew Carey kind of person. Although i did sit through the episode where Kramer fed the carriage horse beefaroni & he kept farting cuz i thought that was funny.

Ugh.

You're the kind of viewer that Larry David didn't want watching Seinfeld.
 
Spence. Too many quotes.

I actually misremembered or misspoke (hah!). I meant season 5/6 of the Sopranos. I really lost a bit of interest during Season 5. I thought the show was over at the end of 4 with the running in the snow scene. I mean that was basically as good an ending as we got anyhow.

Seinfeld I remember the begging. I mean who wouldn't for 30m viewers? I still argue that only a network can cancel a show though :p.

In Seinfeld's case it was cancelled by Jerry Seinfeld. He alone had the power to continue the program and he chose not to. Rightly so. The show had become stale and had for quite some time moved away from its roots of "intelligent comedy" into more slapstick nonsense that inflicted the final couple years.

The last season of The Sopranos was a disappointment. The Tony getting shot storyline went nowhere. The war with New York storyline went nowhere. The whole thing felt disjointed and a malaise had set in. And don't get me started about the ridiculous ending.

Firefly is obvious answer #1; Arrested Development is obvious answer #2.

Fuck. I was hoping to hit this thread before you because you always take off with my answers, and here you're the second poster. I'm surprised you didn't just yell "first."
 
I know there's some I wish had stayed on air, but at the moment I can't think of them,lol
 
The black donnellys was
shit…except for 13.

John ruled.

Deadwood was…just incredible. Reading the book now.
 
Not like they were "cancelled" too soon, but I miss:

Cheers, Sienfeld, Friends, Sex and the City and even Mad About You. Will and Grace, too.

Arrested Development? Never even heard of the "tv show" just the group before this thread.
