Re: Favorite Cancelled Show

This was canceled forever ago, but I really miss Sex and the City. No other show manages to find the right mix of comedy, class and drama. Sigh.

Let me say that again.

UN. EDIT. ED.

The show got hacked to pieces when they re-ran it on Nicktoons/The N/Noggin. Then there's all the things they messed with after the initial Nickelodeon run. That was a REALLY dirty show passing itself off as kid's programming. school-devil

Teen Titans (screw you Ben10), that show was awesome, with its rampant pop culture referances and surprisingly dark sense of humor.

I loved Teen Titans! I wished it didn't end, but I'm glad the series ended the way it did. (I either ignore the movie or stick it further back in the timeline.) Instead of bringing it back, I'd like to see another reboot of the series that falls in the DCAU instead of its own continuity.

And put it on AdultSwim to give the writers a bit more freedom. The ending would've worked for a SEASON finale maybe but not a series finale.

Speaking of that, why did Futurama get cancelled but not The Simpsons?

The Simpsons is too profitable.  I'm sure Fox would under-market it and then cancel it if they could.

Slightly more seriously, I have heard it said that good shows get canceled because the people who actually pay attention to any given show are always in the vast minority.  The majority of Americans apparently leave the TV on as pleasant background noise, so anything that requires you to pay even a moderate amount of attention is pretty much doomed.  The Simpsons gives viewers a somewhat familiar setting and a lot of obvious, cheap gags, and it doesn't move quite as fast as Futurama.  (Of course, the poor marketing and placement probably still have a lot to do with it.)

I had an extremely unhealthy crush on Freakazoid. I think he was the first animated character I ever fell in love with, but only because I didn't start watching Sailor Moon until a year or two later.

Seriously, it's been almost 15 years and I'm still pissed about it and Earthworm Jim getting canceled.

Just Shoot Me, Malcolm in the Middle, Boy Meets World, Friends.

Last episodes usually depress me, but I'm still waiting for them to cancel Monk so we can find out who killed Trudy. Then after I know who did it, and can have a proper spaz attack about it being over.

Re: Favorite Cancelled Show

I miss the Sonic the Hedgehog cartoon from the early 90s, it was so dark and way past cool

I heard that True Blood may get canceled. I certainly hope not, I love that show.

Re: Favorite Cancelled Show

I used to stay up past midnight to watch those old Sonic cartoons. It was very kiddie-ish, but sometimes that's not such a bad thing.

Sonic: "Hey, Tails, what are you doing?"
Tails: "I'm going to jump off this bridge on a skateboard into a busy freeway so that I can travel back in time!"
Sonic: "NO, Tails! Don't do THAT! emot-aaa --- Wear a helmet and knee pads!"
Tails: "Okay!" *Scene ends just as Tails is about to jump*

^ Win. Sonic Underground was another good one, but I don't know if it was ever aired at a time other than when everyone was in school. Namik and Sonia (?) never really showed up in any series outside of that.

I know. I miss firefly so much. It was just getting good! THe movie helped, but we still didn't ever find out what was up with Shepard, and also it would have been more interesting to see things build more slowly over the course of a TV series as opposed to the plot unraveling so quickly in the movie.

Re: Favorite Cancelled Show

The show's been off the air forever, but I loved the Crow: Stairway to Heaven. Really corny, like most Saturday serials, but man was Mark Dacascos hot back in them days!! I'd stay up till 2am to watch through hazy antenna-snow, that is till I got caught staying up too late. emot-rolleyes

I also spent much of my pre-teen years wishing the cartoon channel would quit screwing with my Batman: The Animated Series! It didn't need a face lift every other season. It was just fine the way it was. Leave it alone and let Mark Hamil drive this one! I still wish they'd stop revamping. Leave my nostalgic memories alone man, it ain't cool.
