TV & Film Good shows cancelled before their time...

[das_nut]

I'll start:

• My Name is Earl. Dang that cliffhanger ending!
• Dead Like Me.
• Pushing Daisies.

 

[Werewolf Girl]

I loved My Name is Earl!

Better Off Ted was a hilarious show that didn't get nearly enough time for how great it was.

I'll start:

• My Name is Earl. Dang that cliffhanger ending!
• Dead Like Me.
• Pushing Daisies.

I agree with the first two. I couldn't get into Pushing Daisies, though.

Add:

Wonderfalls
Early Edition
The No 1 Ladies Detective Agency, a nice little show that aired on HBO for only one season. I guess nobody watched it because of its lack of blood, gore, violence, sex and cynicism.

Pushing Daisies was amazing! It's one of my favorites.
And Firefly. That one might really be my favorite...
I read a bunch of the No 1 Ladies Detective Agency, but didn't watch the show. Actually I listened to them on audiobook, which was awesome because the lady who read it had a South African accent so it sounded neat.

I'm pretty sure that if you don't like Pushing Daisies, something is wrong with you.

 

[kazyeeqen]

It's so ******* cute. Ever the dead people were cheerful.

 

[das_nut]

I wish I was like that after I was dead.

 

[KLS52]

No fair...I can't remember the names of the shows that I liked that were canceled early... Which, I guess, sort of explains why they were canceled early if someone can't even remember the title, lol.

 

[Envy]

Samurai Jack

 

[Second Summer]

The IT Crowd. The funniest thing on TV since Monty Python. (Though apparently they have filmed one single extra episode that will be aired as a Christmas Special or similar.)
Happy Town. I watched this after reading American Gods, and was fascinated with the many similarities.

 

[Forster]

Firefly
Caprica
Carnivàle
Intelligence
Jericho
Home Movies
Freaks and Geeks
Lucky Louie

Firefly, Freaks and Geeks and Carnivale all came to mind too. That and Deadwood, I so, so wish they would have finished the final season of that show.

 

[SuicideBlonde]

Nod, first thing I thought of was Pushing Daisies.

 

[LuvOurMother]

Twin Peaks!!!!
Arrested Development ( canceled but revived on Netflix)
United States of Tara
The Oblongs

 

[AeryFairy]

Firefly
Arrested Development (although it came back, yay!)
Sold (a UK drama series about estate agents that nobody else seems to remember, it only had six episodes)

 

[Everleigh]

Camelot (Showtime did one season than canceled.It had Joseph Fiennes as Merlin)

 

[Dedalus]

Twin Peaks!!!!

YES

 

[Amy SF]

And damn good cherry pie.

I never watched Twin Peaks, I just remember the quotes. The quotes were popular.

 

[SummerRain]

I really liked BBCs Survivors, but it got cut after two series.
