    The answer is always firefly

        Yep, same characters too except they made the kaylee character into an adult pretending to be a child which was weird.

      I wonder how the person who’s decision it was to cancel firefly feels about this now. Do you think they were under a lot of pressures because of funding, or they just weren’t that into the show, or was there a new show they wanted to divert funding to. Wonder what the story was there.

    The Expanse.

    Firefly.

    source
    • misk@sopuli.xyz ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I don’t think The Expanse was really cancelled rather than it was ended at a story point that makes sense to continue from sometime in the future. There’s something like a decade long time skip and a huge thematic shift between books 6 and 7.

      Especially since it wasn’t a real cancellation, just “on indefinite hiatus” followed by “never coming back” almost five years later. The second season ending very much set up at least another season.

    In order that I think of them now

    • Drive
    • John Doe
    • The OA
    • Sense8
    • Limitless
    • Dollhouse
    • Tru Calling
    • Probably more, but that’s enough for now

    Firefly would make the list, if I watched it while it aired. But I didn’t see it till later.

      I cancelled Netflix because they cancelled Sense8 and The OA.

    freaks and geeks. unbelievably stacked cast but the network never gave it a dedicated time so no one knew when they could watch it. then it got cancelled before they aired half the episodes citing poor viewership

    Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I’ll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.

    I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I’ve had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.

    • randomuser38529@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I stopped sometime during season 3 or 4, can’t remember. Without spoiling anything if I decide to pick it up again: do we know what G stands for? Don’t tell me, just nod or something.

      source
      • Akuchimoya@startrek.website ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Yes, we do eventually find out what G stands for.

  • scrubbles@poptalk.scrubbles.tech ⁨3⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.

    Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn’t popular then.

    Sort of counts, but KOTH.

    Fox took it off the air FOUR episodes from the finale to “make room for The Cleveland Show” of all things, the worst offering from those Family Guy clones imho.

    Luckily, Adult Swim was kind enough not only to pick up KOTH, but to air those last missing episodes as well, and I have it all torrented by now of course and it was easy to find, but still, fuck Fox for that one (amongst other things, but I want to punch the specific exec that decided to do that right in the eye just one good time.)

    ReBoot. One of the most incredible, ground-breaking shows of its time, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I’m still holding out hope that we’ll get a movie to tie up the loose ends someday.

    Tuca and Bertie. Netflix cancelled it, then HBO made another season. But just before releasing it HBO cancelled it for a tax break. It’s heartbreaking to think of the writers and animators pouring their lives into it just for nobody to ever see it.

  • GingerGoodness@lemmy.world ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

    Teen Titans ended with a cliffhanger and then Cartoon Network put out Teen Titans Go! just to add insult to injury. Certainly the pettiest thing I’ve been angry about for nearly 20 years.

    • Zozano@aussie.zone ⁨2⁩ ⁨days⁩ ago

      I thought the show ended with the movie and it wrapped things up?

      source
      • GingerGoodness@lemmy.world ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

        Trouble in Tokyo? I guess it wrapped things up in the sense of it finished its own story, but didn’t really resolve or conclude anything that was left hanging in the show.

        To be fair to the creators, the comic version of TTG does fill in some blanks about Terra’s cliffhanger in issue #51, which is basically super condensed version of what I would have expected to be included in the season that got pitched and turned down.

      Meh, the first season was horrible, Interstellar Gossip Girl. The second season was an infinite improvement, but it still felt like they didn’t really have any kind of plan, just keep the plot moving along while abuse Battlestar Galactica camera work to ratchet up the tension.

      I get bleak, but this was bleak with no point, which is just sadness.
