Great list. I especially miss Dead Like Me and Pushing Daisies.
Posted: 3 years ago at May 16 18:43
I'm for Pushing Daisies and Firefly.

And I'd add Dark Angel, but that's just meh. XD

Thanks for the comments. I definitely miss Pushing Daisies, one of the best shows in the past 10 years.

I've decided that I should stop commenting that I enjoy new shows...they always get canceled on me. It is really sad that networks don't even give new shows a chance anymore. I'm really PO'ed about them canceling "FlashForward." What exactly did ABC expect when they put a new show up against a well loved showed such as "Survivor"? Obviously the ratings were going to tank for "FlashForward" once the season of "Survivor" started -- IDIOTS!

There are some shows there I always wanted to watch but never actually did. I'll look for it tough. Best shows are cancelled too soon. It's like smart shows are easier to forget.. go figure.

I agree with every show on here (especially Arrested Development) except I couldn't get into Jericho. I would also add "Twin Peaks" and "Dog Bites Man" if I were to make a list... maybe I should do that.

Being a Joss Whedon fan I think FIrefly was canceled too soon, as for Whedon alumni Nathan Fillon's "Drive" both were really good shows, that were never given a chance to get a fan following. Terminator: The Sarah Conner Chronicles was canceled too soon as well

Some very good shows here.
Just watched Arrested Development recently, and I almost cry when I think about how there are so many crappy US sitcoms still on tv, and this got cancelled after 3 seasons. :(

Firefly was amazing, and would've been like one of my top 5 shows ever if it had a few more seasons, I'd say.

Pushing Dasies is overrated, but good.
I wanna watch Dead Like Me soo.

Flashforward wasn't great in my opinion.

I loved Arrested Development , that show was a lot of potential.

Deadwood was great, why the hell did they cancel it! Arrested Development, FlashForward and Jericho were quite good also. Didn't liked Pushing Daisies, Firefly and Dead Like Me.
Posted: 1 year ago at May 13 6:11
I totally agree. I miss theses shows :(
Posted: 1 year ago at May 13 6:56
Nice list! AWAKE needs to be added, please. Great show, just got axed!
Posted: 1 year ago at May 13 6:57
I'd add "Bored To Death"...I miss "My Name Is Earl" and "Reaper" too...but "Bored To Death"'s cancellation literally destroyed me! :(((
