Pushing daisies was a hard pill to swallow. Such a great quirky show.
What TV cancellation are you most upset by?

It sucks that it was only two seasons, but it did have a clean ending. No cliffhangers, or anything begging to be finished. I was happy with that.

Scavengers Reign and Raised by Wolves

Scavengers Reign was fantastic and its cancellation was a travesty.
Raised by Wolves was very good too but man… Scavengers Reign…

Kaos. That season 1 had me and my partner fucking hooked and they pulled the plug so fast it was hard to even finish it.
TheLoneMinon@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Oh damn, really? I thought I read season 2 was a go but that was a cursory google months ago. Fuckin Netflix.
Condiment2085@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I just double checked and yeah it’s cancelled. Here’s a quick article:

Deadwood. It was my favorite show ever. They made a movie a couple years ago to wrap things up but it’s not the same
breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Arrested Development.
The Expanse.
Skavau@lemm.ee 2 months ago
Expanse left at a time jump, so it’s not implausible it could come back.
CrayonRosary@lemmy.world 2 months ago
The Expanse
Read the books, starting at book 7. The plot in the show is almost identical to the plot in the books. It shouldn’t be too hard to just pick them up.
However, the books are better than the show. I thoroughly enjoyed reading books 1-6 in preparation for reading 7-9. You get to read from various characters’ point of view. It’s so much deeper than the show.
You even get chapters from the point of view of...
Protomolecule Miller.
And the point of view of...
Random other people consumed on Eros. Seriously creepy shit! They didn’t die. They can’t die.
breakfastmtn@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
I’ve read them all but I’m still bummed that the show got cancelled. Although, a lot of the stuff that happens in 7-9 feels kind of unfilmable to me. But, hey, they’re adapting 3 Body Problem which is insanely unfilmable so who knows.
I actually think the show complements the books really well – probably because the authors were so involved in the production. In a few cases, I think they were able to fix some mistakes in the books on a second go around and also added to the world in brilliant ways too. Belter Creole as a spoken language, for example, doesn’t really exist in the books and was created for the show. It’s also interesting replacing the subjective view of the point of view characters with the objective view of the camera. In the first book, it just bounces back and forth between Miller and Holden. You don’t really know what’s going on system-wide because they don’t. Having that perspective shift is really cool and it’s done in a way that feels cohesive and consistent with the world of the books.

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.

I forgot which other network did the same thing, created a movie than cancelled for tax breaks, I think it was warner brothers?

ArcaneSlime@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Tbf it’s a tough sell, “I’ve seen The Patriot before, I don’t need to watch it again except maybe the ‘Aim small, miss small’ scene” “Oh it’s a completely distinct entity with a close title? Oh ok, yeah sure I’ll put it on the list.” *Never watches half of the list*

Millennium. X-Files spinoff with the venerable Lance Hendrickson.
2 seasons, although they managed to wrap it up at the end pretty well considering.
One of the most visceral, amazing shows ever made.
veeesix@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
The recent ones that come to mind are 1899, Scavenger’s Reign, and Infinity Train. All with good premises and cancelled prematurely.

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

The expense
A multi-season, high-tense drama series where Gary attempts to expense his lunch through SAP.
Ledericas@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I haven’t watched the show, apparently they purposely end it because the new books is a time jump

Utopia was really a good show
MimicJar@lemmy.world 2 months ago
Terriers.
Terrible name for a fun show.
Mild Terriers last episode spoiler
The last episode has the two main characters drive off in different directions, knowing they’ll probably never see each other again. It’s actually a beautiful ending, but I wish they could have reunited.

Colony … www.imdb.com/title/tt4209256
SpaceCowboy@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
Yeah, that’s probably the big one for me, with Jericho being a close second.
I generally don’t like alien invasion plot lines because in most of them there doesn’t seem to be a reason for the aliens to invade Earth. But with Colony there seemed to be a reason for the invasion, it just wasn’t quite revealed. To conscript humans to be soldiers to fight against some other alien race… I guess? They really left us hanging there.
Jericho would’ve been worse, but at least they made a mini-series to explain things and give an ending. Well and open-ended kind of ending, but we can kind of imagine how the rest of the story would go. With Colony, we didn’t get that.

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.)

Since I haven’t seen it mentioned yet and it deserves to be on these lists h Archive 81.
Such a great suspense show that was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season.
Hugin@lemmy.world 2 months ago
I also liked the show. However your comment about " [it] was really starting to go somewhere by the end of the season" is a good example of why it didn’t get another season.
Kraven_the_Hunter@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 months ago
Yeah, that sounds like I’m saying it found it’s groove or something, I know.
What I was actually trying to say is that it stood on it’s own as a psychological suspense show, but then by the end of the season they inserted several twists and turns that made it something more. It would have been fun to see what they could do with a season 2.
mtchristo@lemm.ee 2 months ago
I know that everything has to come to an end. By I hoped for more parks and recreations. I wouldn’t even mode a different crew. Different city. Just keep Ron Swanson .

Stargate Atlantis and universe, Star Trek enterprise, Les moonves destroyed the last good series. , nutrek just suck balls. The animated series attempts to cure that though, the live actions are so bad, STD, Picard and snw is not as good as it looks.
Atlantis and universe was under MGM so they had significant financial problems , been plaguing them for years, also the low viewership retired the whole franchise. The show runners allegedly said it’s not possible for another series, due to “societal climate”
