Hey All,
Inspired by the news of FlashForward's Cancellation with fears of non-closure, and similarly NBCs decision to back-track on a mini-final-season for Heroes where it would close all plots, I thought I would start up a thread where we could talk about shows that we watched and got cancelled without giving us proper closure.
Earth 2
So much was left unanswered. If only a TV Movie or mini-series or Direct-to-DVD release would be filmed to close this!
The 4400
Four brilliant seasons, and the USA net pulls the plug leaving us on tenterhooks as to what happens next! They could at least commission a 5 hour long mini series in the vein of the first series!
Original V
Though admittedly the 80s follow-on series was weak, I was furious back in the day at not having a proper conclusion. The series ends with Elizabeth the Star Child being taken back to the Visitor's planet with her boyfriend (Kyle??) hiding in the ship that transported her!
Survivors Remake
Despite being quite weak, I was watching this and am annoyed at the fac we will never get to see what happened to Tom Price on that plane!
Jericho
We got a seven episode mini series which provided closure..but I would have liked more! here I am being cheeky, since we did get that mini-series to end it of sorts!
I have many more, but Ill wait for you guys to post some before continuing....

Only lasted one season but it was a great show and cancelled due to Sony company politics rather than poor ratings on Showtime.
It was supposed to last five years and the final episode ended on a unresolved cliffhanger.
I forgot to mention the Sci Fi Channel mini series The Lost Room, which I think is one of the best to come out of the SyFy Channel stable. It was a limited run series but was open to more. IN fact ratings were so good that they considered contnuing the story by way of series, but because they took so long to come to a decision, the cast had moved on and they did not think it wise to continue with a complete re-cast! Shame cos this was quite good.
Babylon 5: Crusade (LINK)
Surface (LINK)
Firefly (LINK)
I know the movie "Serenity" was supposed to give it some sort of "closure". But as good as it was, I still like to see more.
With a post apocalyptic US civil war in the offing the potential for Jericho was huge.
I wish it had gotten the audience numbers to carry on
The 4400
Deadwood doesn't need closure as such (in retrospect the ending is perfect), but it did have another season or two of stories in it.
And Twin Peaks, of course!
^^ THIS.
resolution to the story.
No not at all,infact after watching the season 9 cliffy i cant wait for season 10.
Dark Skies
Journeyman
Jericho
Space: Above & Beyond
And many more...
Regarding Jericho, it has at least had a comic-book conclusion/continuation of sorts:

I'd have happily watched more from DS9 but they did tie all the main story strands up well, and I was happy with the way B5 ended.
Yes but you and I made up half the audience apparently
Most upset about the way Journeyman was getting really good before cancellation
Yeah, about 5 seasons ago.....
