I would have to say that Dirty Sexy Money being cancelled is sad...and a really long while back a reality show called Garden of Eden got cancelled....i totally loved that show!

I didn't realise that had been cancelled, I've never actually watch it but I know we did get it over here. Garden of Eden I've never heard of, what was it about?

Well, that explains why my mom hasn't been able to find Dirty Sexy Money the last two weeks...... She will be sad. It seems like it happens to all the shows she likes

I was surprised that My Own Worst Enemy was canceled this season. I enjoyed the show and expected it to do a lot better. I think the plug was pulled way too soon. I was also upset that Studio 60 was canceled a couple of years ago. I thought the writing was excellent.
Both of those shows had the star power to keep people watching, but perhaps that was the problem...they cost the network too much per episode just to pay the actors.

My Own Worst Enemy I haven't heard of, I'm not sure if it made it over here. I kinda remember Studio 60, but I didn't realise it had been cancelled.

My Own Worst Enemy starred Christian Slater. It only ran for maybe 10 or 12 episodes. They canceled it after four, but aired the rest that were already planned. This one upset me more because a friend of mine from college was in the show, Mike O'Malley. I haven't talked to him since we were in college, but it is always nice to see people that you know succeed in their chosen profession. NBC.com still as five episodes available to view on the site.
Studio 60 was a couple of years ago. The guy that created The West Wing and several other successful shows also created Studio 60. It was really well written. NBC claims that it just didn't pull in the ratings that they needed.

The two programs I was mad about being canceled were Fox's "Arrested Development" and ABC's "Whose Line Is It Anyway?" I was a faithful watcher of both shows, but the networks kept moving them around. There were times when I'd set the VCR to record these shows, only to wind up with another show on the tape.

I got into "Arrested Development" after it had finished but I do really like it! I haven't watched all the series yet, still have series 3 to go.
I do love whose "Whose Line is it Anyway?" but I only really watched the original British version although we did get the American one and we had quite a few of the same cast, I've just noticed that ours finished the years yours started so maybe thats why, plus I do love Drew Carey.

For me it was The 4400. It did get four seasons, which wasn't real early cancellation, but on their official fan site there was a lot going on about the next season, then all of a sudden it was canceled. Moonlight is another. CBS didn't even give it a chance.

One that stands out in my mind was called "Eyes" and starred Tim Daly (Wings). It was about a private investigation agency, and was extremely well written and entertaining. It didn't even last one season. In my opinion, it was one of the best new shows of that particular season.

I was really bummed when Ed got axed. I loved The Warren Cheswick Experience - ha ha.
That show was just really entertaining and I now watch anything that Tom Cavanagh is in because not only does he really remind me of my pastor [it's uncanny], but he just entertains me - I can't really explain it any more than that.
The only TV I watch now is one hour on Wednesday night: Lost. With it's late arrival on screen for this season, it almost felt like we had lost Lost. I'm glad it's back, though memory fades over time. Sometimes I wonder WTF is going on as I have zero recollection of some of the events!
