Have you noticed lately that alot of shows have gotten cancelled? I have really gotten into alot of showws, really liked them, only to have them cancelled right in the middle like a cliff hanger without the hopes of ever seeing a conclusion. This makes me so mad. Did you have any shows that were cancelled that you felt this way? What were they? Some of mine were, Invasion, Surface, kidnapped, vanished, Nightstalker, windfall and conviction. Some probably didn't like these (which is why they got cancelled I guess) but I thought all of them were pretty good and I just hate starting to watch something and then it they just cancel it right in the middle. They didn't use to do that. I notice some of them are putting the rest of the episodes on DVD so people who liked the show can finish watching the ones that they had already filmed but not all of them are doing this. I think they should make them available on DVD so if you did like the show you can get some kind of closer. I really liked Conviction because it was so different in how it would tell the story and at the end it would show what really hapned, show if th eperson really was guilty or not. ANyway, what are your thoughts on this?

Firefly is my top example of an amazing show that was canceled. That show was perfection but was never given a chance to make it. Freaks & Geeks and Arrested Development are two others that I wish hadn't been canceled. Unfortunately studios are influenced by the almighty $ and not the quality of the show.

Firefly was a work of genius that was a sci-fi but had a western feel and had amazing writing that was extremely clever and witty. They canceled it halfway through the season. Very lame.
Freaks & Geeks was a pretty intelligent and funny look at the kids in high school that didn't really fit in but had to deal with all the awkwardness that comes with high school. Very well done... also didn't make it a full year.
At least Arrested Development (which was on FOX, not HBO) had 2 and a half seasons. Not NEARLY enough for me, but at least I was able to watch it for a few years! Still REALLY sad to see that one go!

I never saw Firfly but I heard it was good. Arrested development was so funny to me! I started watching it in reruns and loved it. Couldn't believe when it got cancelled!
