I suppose you'rr right about them not changing their minds
much like Firefly, which only lasted a season
those fools at Fox didn't bring it back
But at least they made the movie
And it did take years for Family Guy aswell. . .

But Moonlight was one of those shows
that needed more than one seaon to be good.
It had potential for future episodes
and a chance to be frackin' great!
Im afraid to see what else was cancelled

Exosquad. Tragically cancelled just as the third season was getting underway. It was a Helluva series, clearly too good for its time. And it still hasn't even gotten an official DVD release, the only DVDs are illegal bootlegs (but hey, whate better way to stick it to the Man than buying illegal DVDs of the very product the Man with-holds?).

The 2002 remake of He-Man was also unfairly cut down before its 3rd season could get underway. Sure it wasn't perfect, but it was better than most of the other crap Cartoon Network has.

That is very true
i actually didn't mind the He-Man remake
it wasn't as pretentious as the X-men remake
and had better structure

Firefly (Sure, it was short, but as far as series cut too early, it's probably one of the most complete series's of all time. I think there was a good chance that they would not have been able to continue with the quality of the first season.); Invader Zim (Same as firefly, more seasons would have meant more nickelodeon meddling and less quality. Still, super excellent.); American Gothic (This was a good one that could have gone longer. Someone's at the door.); Space: Above and Beyond; Sam and Max: Freelance Police; Space Ghost:Coast to Coast; The Brak Show. Yeah, that's about it. I, personally, would rather see a good show cut down in its prime than a good show gone bad.

Invader Zim is wonderful... I just go the box set... soooo good. I have never found a show so compatible with my mindset. Everything about it is exactly what I want to see.

Dead like me? Wasn't that thing's ending long overdue?

They filmed that here in Vancouver, though, so I should support it. The cemetary they used from time to time is a short walk from my house.

The First Season of Invader Zim was a magical experience, but although I'm sure I'd have complained if the second season were never produced I'm complaining now that it was seriously below the standard of the first. Barend, I want that box set. And you will give it to me.

You will give it to me.

Meh, I thought it was funny. But I would watch just about anything with Mandy Patinkin.

Someone will probably shoot me for saying this but I'm pissed that Terminator: Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled. It was one of the most popular and profitable shows on TV. I thought the writing was very creative, even though much of it was spun far away from the original 2 movie storylines. Still it was incredibly entertaining AFAIC.

If they shoot you Sieve Boy
fear not, you will not be alone
fore i shall be at your side

I'm LIVID they took T:SCC away from me
which is funny because i was sooo against its creation
only to turn around a love it

I even sent an email to FOX and their affiliates but i was no use
I guess I'll just have to hope that they don't cancel Dollhouse
before Summer Glau makes her her debut as a doll
although from what i hear its not looking good . . .

I think it was mentioned earlier in this thread, but FIREFLY! Without question a series that was cut short far to quickly.

Gobbler, you are clearly out of your mind ;-)

Firefly was fantastic!
