What are your favorite cancelled TV shows?  |
|
I love Fraiser. It's funny and always makes me laugh. I don't think it was actually canceled. It ran for 11 years. Or, was it nine years? It wrapped up nicely.
Anyway, one of my favorite short lived, canceled shows was Now and Again.
It ran for barely a season and was about a guy who's brain had been used in a genetically superior body after his death.
He became some kind of super agent.
I can't remember any specific episodes, only that I really liked the show.
It was sort of like Bionic Woman and ran in 1999-2000 season.
What are your favorite canceled shows; shows that were so good but didn't last?

1. minx267 (1355) | 1 year ago | MOONLIGHT! It was about a vampire who was also a detective. but it was much more than that- it was the best show ever. it was on last year and CBS was very stupid and did not renew it. it was voted for people choice award for best sci-fi show. we had over 8 million viewers and they continued to grow even after the show was canceled because then it was being aired in other countries and THEY loved it too (and were very disappointed to find out it was already canceled and they had just started watching it. I think CBS was stupid not to give it a chance. Because now all these vampire books and movies are coming out. and here they were ahead of the game. I have not watched CBS since then and refuse to. If they cancel a show everyone loved and was gaining viewers - why bother watching anything there- they are just going to cancel it again- they didn't even care that it was popular. it won it's ratings for its time slot every night it was on- they are just Idiots and CBS is not worth watching anymore.. :) lol- sorry to vent.. but you asked a question that is still an open wound for me.. lol thanks for letting me vent!

beautyqueen26 (9127) | 1 year ago | Oh, no! They canceled Moonlight? That is very sad.
I only got to see one or two of the episodes but really enjoyed it.
I used to love watching Angel (and Buffy, too), but then they got canceled.
Maybe Moonlight will get picked up on Lifetime or Sci Fi channel.
Fingers crossed!

minx267 (1355) | 1 year ago | Well many, many fans campaigned for that to happen and we were shot down by network after network. IT was sooo disappointing. the DVD for the whole series should be out in January or something like that. you should get it. It is awesome- they didn't give total closure. But the ending was so - oh you have to see it. I cried my eyes out.. It's like watching a move that last for like 16 hours.. lol

3. Ruthep (5928) | 1 year ago | Soap and WKRP in Cincinnati are my all time favorite shows. WKRP I get to see on WGN but Soap I will have to get the DVDs because they never show them. Frasier was good. Another good one was Sledgehammer. It was so goofy but I laughed my butt off over it. That ran two years I think. How bout Brisco County, Jr.? I loved that show.

beautyqueen26 (9127) | 1 year ago | I thought that I was the only person on the planet who loved Sledgehammer! Imagine that. You share my wacky sense of humor.
I have not seen Brisco, but I know of the show. I think the guy who starred in the show was also on Xena. Another cool show! I'll try to check out some of the episodes online.

minx267 (1355) | 1 year ago | Soap was awesome. and wow haven't thought of brisco county in a while that was Bruce Campebell He is a laugh riot. he's on another show now -but he is a bit older..lol

Ruthep (5928) | 1 year ago | It is good to be wacky. There are three of us because my husband liked it as well. You are in good company. I have seen the DVD for sale but there must be somewhere to watch the shows. Brisco is good. A little on the oddball side but great.

Ruthep (5928) | 1 year ago | Bruce Campbell is great isn't he? Those Old Spice commercials are so corny but you can't help but love them because he is in 'em.
| |
|
|
beautyqueen26 (9127) | 1 year ago | Bruce Campbell? I remember him from an episode of the X-Files where he played a demon with two wives.
He was trying to breed himself a human heir, but he didn't know that one of his wives was also a demon and she was looking to bear a demon child.
How ironic.
One of the better episodes.
I'll keep my eyes open for Brisco and Soap, (online episodes) and let you know if I run across any links.

4. teapotmommommerced (5724) | 1 year ago | There was one on for a short season that was about Singing Cops. It was hooky and silly and I loved it because of that.

5. katsmeow1213 (4873) | 1 year ago | Hmm, well ER is cancelling this season, and that was a great show that ran for like 13 years. I was really into Charmed at one point, and that cancelled, and I wasn't crazy about the last season of it either. Right now hubby and I are really into the old episodes of Lois and Clark. It ran for about 4 seasons. We bought the DVD sets, all but the last, and we watch the episodes every now and then. We need to be buying the last season shortly because we only have 2 episodes left to watch.

6. AmbiePam (15271) | 1 year ago | Yeah, that guy from Now and Again is now on that show Without a Trace. His name is Eric Close. Some of my favorites that were canceled were Like You Know, which was a comedy that co-starred Jennifer Grey (from Dirty Dancing) as a form of herself. It lasted about 12 episodes. I also liked Almost Perfect which starred Nancy Travis. Once they got rid of her TV boyfriend though, people stopped watching. And then there was Magnificent Seven, a show back in 1998-1999 that was based on the old movie. It also had that guy from Now and Again and Without a Trace.

Ruthep (5928) | 1 year ago | I liked Almost Perfect. I did think they ruined it when they got rid of the boyfriend. I forgot all about that show.

AmbiePam (15271) | 1 year ago | They used to show the reruns on Lifetime. But the network dropped even showing the reruns after just a few months.

8. DarthJustice (1293) | 1 year ago | My favorite cancelled TV shows are Dead Like Me, Quantum Leap, and Mystery Science Theater 3000. All three of which I coincidentally first saw (or in the case of Quantum Leap, first really watched) because of the Sci-Fi Channel.
I didn't much care for Quantum Leap as a kid. Whenever I saw the intro of the show start, I would quickly change the channel or keep on going whatever the case was. Years later I decided to watch an episode for the heck of it. I must have loved it because now it is one of my top favorite shows.
Dead Like Me originally aired on Showtime from 2003 to 2004. It was cancelled after the second season. However, I had never seen or even heard of the show until last year in 2007. I believe it was a Saturday and I was at home. Sci-Fi Channel was doing a marathon of the show. I decided to watch an episode. I had no idea what the show was about, but eventually learned and now I love the show. Once I get the minimum $10 payout from here, I'm ordering the two seasons through an eBay "store". The show is basically about a group of four grim reapers, but the main character is the newest reaper of them, a girl named Gerogia (who goes by George). I'm looking forward to the straight to DVD movie coming out next year. Especially considering the fact that the network has stated that depending on how well the movie sales are, they will bring back the show for a third season.
I unfortunately didn't find out about MST3k until near the end of its run in 1999. I saw an episode one day while at my sister's house and by the end, loved the show. I love how the main characters are forced to watch horrible movies but get through them by making fun of the movies. Unfortunately when I first found out about it, the show ended a few months later.

| 9. Bananaman (76) | 1 year ago | I was always a big fan of The OC. It's a shame it's gone but as soon as they killed off one of the main characters in Season 3 it started to lose it a bit. The first 2 seasons were brilliant though.
