There is a posting over at TubeWad about TV shows that were cancelled even though they were good. I agree with most of the postings that they made over there, but I decided to make my own list. I”m sure there are more, but I don’t recall
- My So Called Life : introduced the world to Claire Danes and Jared Leto.
- Undeclared : the characters in this show were dead on.
- Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip : brilliant writing.
- Futurama : rumors abound about its return.
- Ed : ran three seasons, but could’ve done at least 2 more. Carol Vessey!
- VH1’s Behind The Music : VH1’s website indicates that this is still running. I haven’t seen a new episode in years though.
Can anyone else offer some more examples?

Sports Night was really good, but only aired for two seasons. I only saw about 15 minutes of one episode while it was on TV. A few years later, my roommate downloaded both seasons and I was finally able to watch it.
I liked Men Behaving Badly with the original characters.
Arrested Development
also Firefly. I can’t believe you put “My so called life” up there. Whiny teenagers. And Richard says that he can’t believe you still have a crush on Jordan Catalano (sp?) I would say “Northern Exposure” but it had run it’s course tear
Jordan Catalano was dreeeeamy. No seriously though. I was totally in love with Claire Danes.
Firefly for sure. Joan of Arcadia.
The first Star Trek – 3 seasons!
Fawlty Towers (twelve episodes – (was it canceled or did John Clesse move on?)
I second the Sports Night vote. That show had “it.”
“Friday Night Lights” on NBC was great this first season, but I hear it’s been cancelled. Now that was a REAL reality show.
I disagree. The only “reality TV” that exists is surveillance footage from Nanny-cams and Qwik-E-Mart cameras.
