Wow that's a good one. I didn't actually watch it in an avid way... so I just never knew it got cancelled in a controversial way. But it was a good show with a good cast. Nice to see it recognized amongst all the usual suspects*
*Lets be honest: Firefly is what this is all about, this is just a thread to clandestinely raise that Wicked and Righteous Spectre! (though I'm a little bemused that there isn't a lot of Deadwood rattle and hum too {even though I absolutely love how Deadwood "ended"; leave it there!})
Just skimmed through the first 3 pages and the only shows I'm familiar with are Dead Like Me(great series) and Family Guy(have not seen this in years).
It's weird that I'm not familiar or have not seen almost all the other shows mentioned.
It started off average, then just as it got good it was cancelled!
Agreed, but that is where the problem lies, if a show has a poor start it does not get viewers and risks cancelation, although I like slow boilers they are very high risk in the fly or die world of US major net work TV.
Just re-watched Freaks and geeks, and that ended far too early.
Great potential in that show, and Judd Apatow and most of the cast have gone on to bigger/better things.
Other shows i was sad about cancelling were; Invasion, Flash Forward, the event, Tru Calling, Angel, Reaper, Pushing Daisies.
With some of the tripe on in the US now it's hard to know how they choose what goes and what stays. some critically aclaimed shows don't even get a look in with a second series, yet shows like Parks and Rec (which i love BTW) which get pretty bad audience shares actually get persisted with.

Do you watch raising hope? The last episode in America had a great nod to it bringing all the cast back with a list.
The BBC had nothing to do with Merlin being cancelled.

Men In Trees

I was particularly sad when V was cancelled. A great show cancelled before its time.
