Opposite Sex
Firefly

Hmm... that's all I can think of now.

UPDATED 3/4/06 @ 10:06 PM
Ah, thought of another one.

Point Pleasant

Granted, it started off really, REALLY slowly and some of the actors sucked, but the episode right before it was cancelled finally started to move the story along. It was getting interesting. Plus, Aubrey Dollar and Elisabeth Harnois were very easy on the eyes...

I can agree with all the ones you listed except for Blind Justice. Blind Justice!? Really!? The guy was Blind and drove a car. I'm glas that show got cancelled it really had no point.

I kinda likes "Life On A Stick." It was just funny, pointless comedy that gave you a break. No thinking needed.

[–] cff2 18 years ago

don't know if Tru Calling counts. First of all, it sucked, secondly, there were two seasons. Didn't mind watching Eliza D. running every five minutes.

My vote goes for Johnny Zero.

I was surprised with "Life On A Stick". I was asking to myself "Are they freakin serious?" when i saw the commercials, but it actually was pretty funny.

"Firefly" i never saw. I saw "Serenity", and I'm sorry I missed it.

"John Doe" was good. They left it at a cliffhanger when it was cancelled.

"8 Simple Rules" was going down the tubes, but they could have given it a chance if it wasn't in the Friday slot.

"Greg The Bunny" was my FAVORITE.

"The Oblongs", "Mission Hill", which currently run on Adult Swim, but I'd love to see more.

"I am the Taco King!"

Surface is back on -when?-wow the petition actually worked thats a first.
I expected to see this show since I have nothing else in the 8:30 slot I think is ok the only time i really laughed tho was when Seth finally lived up to his comedic self and did the iguana thing.It was not bad for a time filler (as is Courting Alex but soon that will have the same fate I replaced it for Bones anyway) but I'm not sad, a bit surprised tho. Honesdtly wtf is going on w/tv shows used to last yrs at the least but lately boom they get canned mid1stseason. i can tell u which ones wont make it by the trailer, or the preview- 98% the ones I don't watch by the 1st commercial sneekpeek i thought it was crap(lately alot Emily reason,Pepper Dennis - watch a waist of time), 1%the ones I watch cuz I could careless.

Do Over
Greg the Bunny
Andy Richter Controls the Universe
Arrested Development-though it did make it to three seasons
The Crumbs

It doesn't really bother me that Four Kings was cancelled...what bothers me was that it got 'yanked'. I hate it when networks take a show off right in the of its run.

reply

[–] AlexMorgan13 18 years ago

if a show makes it more than 2 seasons, i don't think its considered that it never made it... like Third Watch and Dawson's Creek both had 4 or 5 seasons...

here are ones that only lasted less than 2 seasons...
Reunion
Life As We Know It
Tru Calling
The Mountain
Blind Justice

reply

[–] jusbrealnubgnins 18 years ago

well It didnt go as long as I expected/wanted. The shows u mention never even had a taste. the ones that went one episode, a couple episodes,half a season i guess do qualify, but hey I didn't really think never made it:never quite made it:almost made it etc.

reply

[–] scrardft 15 years ago

Arrested Development -Definitely, is just ahead of everything else and it just made to 2 1/2 seasons.

Anson Mount is on a new show called Conviction, i'm not sure if that will last either...

Wonderfalls. Fox bummed me out with that cancellation. They never gave that show a chance!

reply

[–] AlexMorgan13 18 years ago

at least they did release Wonderfalls on DVD... that girl was hot on the show...

reply

[–] LoveTag 18 years ago

>>at least they did release Wonderfalls on DVD...<<

Yeah, thank goodness for that! It just bums me out with all the reality shows and whatnot they have on tv these days. Blech! At least Wonderfalls was original and quirky. JMHO

reply

[–] boheme06 18 years ago

Conviction looks like it's getting moved to Mondays at 10pm. I liked the Friday slot but who knows. Anson Mount and Eric Balfor (I love them both) are like series killers though. Between their two TV track records it's amazing Conviction's lasted as long as it has so far.

And I forgot Wonderfalls. That and Joan Of Arcadia went together well.

Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

reply

[–] jusbrealnubgnins 18 years ago

u know I do recall that guy playing alot of scary characs I think it was Medium or something he was recently on stalking his girl so I do relate him to that too. Its sad but whenu play one type of charac I tend to think of them that way and when they get into a new type I dont buy it much.

reply

[–] boheme06 18 years ago

I meant that every show they're on tends to end up cancelled before the end of the first season (series killers) . Not that they play psychos (serial killers)!

Wash: Did he just go crazy and fall asleep?

reply

[–] jusbrealnubgnins 18 years ago

oh he he he well one of the guys from COnviction that I have seen, most the material I have seen him in he plays a bad guy..really bad bad guy...so I just saw 'they are like serial killer' I dunno I mustafbin tired --Is conviction now on Tuesday instead of L&O SVU or would u hap to know that. & xcuse the misunderstanding.

reply

[–] boheme06 18 years ago

I don't know why they did that. They put a new episode on Tuesday for no reason because it looks like it'll be back on Fridays at 10pm. But I remember hearing someplace that it was being moved to Mondays @ 10pm. I have TiVo, so it doesn't matter if a show gets moved. I'll still be able to catch it but it's still annoying to watch shows get moved around- sometimes even cancelled when they did so well in the beginning slot.

And actually it was funny to me, I thought I had written serial killers. I had to go check and make sure!

Joey, the Friends spin-off? Yeah, I never liked Friends to begin with.

But Firefly deserved a full 5 seasons :-(

I predict that all my favorite new shows this fall will be cancelled.
