Favorite Cancelled TV Shows
Don't you just hate it when you sit down to watch your favorite show and you turn on the tv and its nowhere to be found?That pisses me off... what are your favorite cancelled shows?
Mine are: My So-Called Life Futurama Andy Richter Controls the Universe Undeclared Beavis and Butthead Hmmmm there are a few others but I can't remember them now.... |
Family Guy
Undeclared Undergrads |
Futurama
Familty Guy (even though both are on Cartoon Network now but no new episodes) Undeclared Married with Children Robotech(never finished airing it all) anyone notice how most of those were fox shows? |
The Education of Max Bickford. one of the few shows my wife and I watched together.
|
Firefly and Married with Children :D
oh, and Babylon 5 |
Family Guy
Beavis And Butthead Undressed |
The Pretender :0
and Futurama/Family Guy etc |
futurama/family guy definately tops my list.
add dark angel to that. |
Oh I completely forgot about Undressed! I love that show!
|
Another vote for Futurama :( .I never did get over the cancellation of a very short lived semi-obscure, early 80's misfit teen sitcom called Square Pegs, featuring a gangly young nerd named Sarah Jessica Parker. A thousand times better than Sex in the City, or so I remember it...
|
...Or how about Young Indiana Jones, does anyone remember that one? I loved that show! One of my all time favorites.
|
family guy
futurama interesting side note.. family guy just may return in a possible movie or direct to video releases.. who knows maybe even cartoon network snatching up rights.. the dvd sales are great.. go to filmforce.ign.com to read an interview with the creator.. he alludes to possibly more family guy in the future.. |
Family Guy and Futurama have to be on the list.
Sports Night Babylon 5 was great The Chronicle from scifi channel The Critic |
best that never was, heat vision and jack
|
seaQuest
|
Miracles
ABC never gave the show a chance |
all of the ones you've said, and a little show called
"Clone High" |
Farscape...dammit
Twin Peaks Alien Nation |
Most definitely Family Guy and Futurama.
Sports Night Undeclared The Critic The State |
Because I love being redundant: Family Guy.
|
Fastlane, Kingpin
|
Another vote for the Critic.
|
Profit
Fox never gave this show a friggin chance. |
I was so pissed when they canceled Firefly.
And of course, Futurama. |
you can't beat the Wonder Years
|
Definitely
Sports Night Watching the DVD set of the 2 seasons makes me always upset that this great show was cancelled. |

Alien Nation
Parker Lewis Can't Lose War of the Worlds -Mikey |
I echo a lot of the shows everyone else has said and add Stark Raving Mad. It was a comedy on NBC with Neil Patrick Harris and Tony Shaloub which was hilarious. They kept changing its night and it eventually died. And yet, Will & Grace is somehow still on the air. :(
|
Undeclared was a GREAT show, I can't believe it didn't run for a couple more seasons at least.
Titus was ok too. |
::::Cough::: uh....I always like the dungeons and dragons ::cough::
|
Sportsnight
Freaks & Geeks / Undeclared Andy Richter Family Guy ( this must be the default answer) |
I loved Sports Night and was really bummed when they cancelled it.
However, my absolute favorite was WKRP in Cincinnati. The Thanksgiving episode is one of the funniest things that has ever been on TV ("with God as my witness, I thought that turkeys could fly.") I taped it and we watch it every Thanksgiving. |
Pretender
Brimstone Vengance Unlimited Tick Sleepwalkers Wolf Lake The Others |
They Wayans Brothers :(
|
Sportsnight
Ally McBeal |
ack, i cant remember its name, it had the 3 hackers that mulder always went for technicle help in the X-Files... That show was hillarious.
|
That would be The Lone Gunman.
A show that should have been on my list. And Brimestone was a great series that was cut off too soon. |
Wings
Family Guy |
I agree with Sadistik Dreams on this one. I never even got to see the last episode of Clone High, Wesley.
|
gotta say Freaks and Geeks and Sports Night
|
Andy Richter, definitely. I don't think I've ever seen something with so much potential get swatted down so fast. Except the live-action Tick, maybe.
Nobody probably remembers or cares about this one, but I really used to like Buddy Faro. He was played by Dennis Farina, and he was this lounge-lizard type detective who spent the last 30 years drunk in Mexico, and consequently hadn't changed much from the swinging daddy-o type of guy he used to be back in the day. Great show, lots of style. |
Freaks and Geeks
Futurama Family Guy When is Freaks and Geeks coming out on DVD? If it isn't, then damnit, it should be. |
Firefly had to be one of the very best sci-fi genre shows ever made. It was never given a fair chance (or even a decent time slow). A shame really.
|
Always was partial to "bosom Buddies" myself
|
Dark Skies
Freaks and Geeks and Central Park West - it was a train wreck, bad, but just couldnt help myself |
Forgot about Dark Skies. Bad thing though you miss one show and you are lost.
|
Firefly. I still can't believe they canceled that show.
|
Slightly different topic
Show I wish I new about before they were cancelled: Firefly, Freeks and Geeks, and Sports Night. I might be a little out of touch with the TV world. |
Ooooooooooooh, you just had to ask. :lol:
King Arthur and the knights of justice (all time favorite) Phantom 2040 (very cool) The Tick (hilarious) Sonic the hedgehog (the original series which aired on channel 8) Going around the twist (weird britain/australian show that made me laugh) Street Sharks (somewhat miss) X-men - <b>marvel</b> style was the best; can not be replaced by "evolution"; though it is <i>alright</i>, i.e: Kitty/ShadowCat for obvious reasons Iron man The Incredible Hulk Bots Master (You got to be old to know this one :D) Biker Mice from Mars (You got to be old and have a really good memory just to picture this one.) Aladdin VR Troopers Half the decent Power Rangers Series, i.e: The Green Ranger - Tommy with his dagger/flute. :lol: *Dooooo, do do, do do.*- flute sound. Mummies alive Gargoyles (I miss you Lexington. :( ) Exo-squad (Dare I say, THE BEST SHOW I EVER SAW!) Knight Rider (Kit you shall always live on in my heart. :)) Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (Donatello was my hero.) Tiny Toon Adventures (so much silliness. "Water go down the hole!" - baby Plucky Duck) Tazmania Eeek! the cat The Terrible Thunderlizards Life with Louie (You know why. It's Louie Anderson; what's not to love.) Mega Man (the adventures they always had; not to mention his super cool ability to copy his enemies powers! :D) Transformers (the original series. Awesome!) GhostBusters (Never could get enough of this show.) Earthworm Jim (Funny.) Darkwing Duck (Yeah, I like ducks. But crime fighting ones? Oh, my.) Duck Tales (Great adventures, not to mention they were ducks.) TaleSpin (Very catchy theme song. Cool and funny show. Can't forget Balou or Kit with his fold away glider.) Spider-man (Marvel kind. Not talking 1960's. But the animated series, oh my, it doesn't get any better. Shove that somewhere MTV with your nasty spoof of Spider-man. (Though Spider-man's movement and agileness is bang on) What would Stan Lee say?) Animaniacs (Hahahahahaha. You had to watch it. "...But you're not a man, you're a chicken, Boo." *Sang pleasantly* Freakazoid! (Great comedy even for Steven Speilberg!) S.W.A.T Kats (Plain awesome!!!!!!!!!!!! I think the exclamation marks stress that enough, don't you?) Invader Zim (A new kind of twisted comedy.) Aside from all these cartoons, I'll give you something more tangible. Mind you Knight Rider & Going around the twist were live action shows. Sliders - The possiblity of traveling to millions of different worlds through a portal that you <i>had</i> to slide through! Kung Fu The Legend Continues - Slow paced. Nice action. Viper - Ohhhh man. Did I ever have something for the Dodge Viper especially the GTS or RT 1/10. Not sure though if the "Defender" was ever made into an actual model? The Invisible Man - How many episodes did that have? When'd it get cancelled? Being able to turn invisible at your very whim?? I wouldn't use it for evil in that sense. But I'm sure it'd come in handy, now and then. Weird Science - Very comical. And, let's not forget the luscious Vanessa Angel. Oh my god, I hope she's still single. ;) |

Upright Citizens Brigade. Used to show on Comedy Central, probably one of the funniest things I've ever seen, but it has to be viewed from the right light as it is often over the top. Luckily I have all of it on tape.

Is that where "Ass Pennies" came from?

Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Firefly Miracles [the] Lone Gunmen Futurama There was Max Headroom, which was way before it's time, but then again Fox and ABC are quite known for tossing shows into death's door timeslots. And, of course, Sledge Hammer. I was ten when I saw it, and I can only hope they release that one on DVD. |

I would love to get it on DVD. I doubt i will have such luck. |
Ok everyone, im sure nobody has heard of this, but when it was canned 10 years ago i was very sad.
'Spender' starring Jimmy Nail |
Futurama/Family Guy... all i can think of at the moment but im sure there are others.
|
Another vote for Andy Richter and a lot of the ones oldtimer mentioned. Also:
Masked Rider (One of the many Power Ranger clones Saban ported over b/c of their success with Power Rangers) Pirates of Dark Water (brownie points of anyone remembers this gem) Big Bad Beetleborgs The Mystic Knights of Tir Na Nog Thundercats EDIT: I can't believe I forgot Captain Power and the Soldiers of the Future |
Sports Night, Futurama, Undeclared, and a show way back in high school that was a guilty pleasure of mine, "Cupid". I still don't watch ABC except Alias because of Sports Night's cancellation.
|
Andy Richter controls the universe
Family Guy Futurama |
brass eye was the funniest shit ever.
|
A lot of good shows already mentioned, so let me add two:
Action! with Jay Mohr, pretty dark humor. Surprised given the crows here that it didn't get mentioned yet. And, surprise, another Fox move. :rolleyes: The State, was on MTV I believe - didn't appreciate the humor at first, but it really grew on me. "I'd like to dip my balls in it!" :D |
Beat the Geeks.
|
Twin Peaks is on the top of my list.
I like that show Action and also Profit both on fox shame they were canceled. I like the Critic too, but I can just catch reruns on Comedy Central. And Cartoon Network has bot Futurama and Family guy, so there's no reason to miss those shows. |
Dinosaurs, X-Files, and Fragglerock. (eh.. I'm a geek and I miss those shows) :P
|
Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Family Guy |
This one is easy
Unhappily Ever After I know, I know...The show was a blatant ripoff of MWC. However, it had the rediculously beautiful Nikki Cox as the show's main star. |
Oh yeah! Titus and Nicki were some good shows too!
|
Buffy, it's only been a few months but knowing it's not coming back makes me sad.
|
Let me add my voice to Sports Night, but I've got a couple others...
fearofmear, I couldn't agree more about Cupid! One of the best shows ABC has ever cancelled. I've got every episode on tape. I only wish the quality was decent. The_Jazz, as an ex-radio guy, I loved WKRP. Probably my favorite TV show of all time. ("I want a hat!! Cops gotta hat. I want a hat too!") Fortunately, the show had a good run and left right before it really jumped the shark, though you could see the fin circling in the water. :) Others: Quantum Leap Class of 96 - loved, loved, loved this one! But I'm probably dating myself real bad here. Police Squad - yeah, the movies are old hat now, but the show's six episodes were gold. |
Upright Citizen Brigade - of course
An I'll have to second the entire batch of decent FOX comedies that they put on for 1/2 - 2 seasons and the canceled. Some of them weren't that great, but they all had that off-kilter slant that made them enjoyable. Undeclared Family Guy Andy Richter Titus Grounded For Life Futurama was the worst, because FOX didn't just cancel it, they abused it, shelved it, froze it, thawed it, and did everything they could to make sure it was dead, dead, dead and that no one would be able to produce new episodes. The show I miss the most is The Tick cartoon. I would love to have billions of episodes of that. I don't know how anything could be so damn funny and not be offensive. |
Definitly family guy and futurama.
|
number one: Farscape. number two through thirty: Farscape. Also Titus, Firefly, Family guy, Futurama, Bobby's Wolrd, Both the cartoon and live-auction Tick. And News Radio.
|
RIP Futurama and Family Guy. Thank god for DVD box sets
|
I could go back all the way to shows from the 70s [When Things Were Rotten]but I won't...I'll keep it fairly recent:
Futurama Family Guy Firefly John Doe Buffy Titus Would miss Andy Richter...but I could neverf find it so.... |
Family Guy
Sports Night Miss these from my childhood: MacGyver Knight Rider (cheezy I know, but hey, I was a kid and it was a cool car!!!) |
Firefly -- Fox didn't give it a chance
Brimstone -- great show. Fox cancelled it and replaced it with Sports Bloopers, which did a lot worse. (what is it with Fox, they fund great shows and then cancel them). Farscape I miss, but it was on the downhill slide. Still, I'm sorry Sci-Fi cancelled it. Babylon 5: great show, miss it. But it was planned to go five seasons, and five seasons it went (by the skin of its teeth). Kung Fu: The Legend Continues. I miss Carradine. The Chronicle. It was really improving and Sci-Fi cancelled it. Vampire Elvises, maneating pizza ovens, murderous ghosts with weight problems, time-traveling Swedish gangsters from the future -- this show had it all! The Invisible Man. Inventive fun on no budget, but Sci-Fi cancelled it. (They're as bad as Fox). |
Lone gunmen and Upright citizens brigade
|
Greatest American Hero
Automan (points for remembering the name of his "sidekick") Brimstone and M*A*S*H* 14 seasons for a 3 year police action is NOT ENOUGH! :) |
Babylon 5 and Crusade.
And maybe the Lone Gunmen. |
Twin Peaks, the Tick, Firefly, John Doe, Titus, the list goes on...
|
magyver
cheers (although it wasnt cancelled) V - the series there are more as wel, although i'm having a brain freeze. |
Wow a lot of great ones already named. I have two that come to mind:
It's Your Move (from like the 80's but it was pretty cool) Nightinggales (I think that was the name, from the 90's I think. Basically nurses who got changed a lot). |
RE:
That Bruce Campbell Cowboy Series - forget the name but that show rocked!
also mentioned already titus - that show was friggin awesome when I could catch it... I don't have cable and friggin fox never comes in damn it DB |
futurama, family guy, freakazoid, firefly (wow, alliteration!)
|
Wow, seems that a lot of shows with F in them got cancelled. Pirates of Dark Water, the bastards never finished that series. I vaguely remember Tir Na Nog, thought it was an awesome show. There are just a lot of good shows that got cancelled that shouldn't have been. And I thought that Farscape just ended and it wasn't cancelled?
