What shows got canceled before they had a chance....

[TanisFrey]

I had no idea there was any love out there for Kindred! I was a humongous White Wolf fanboy back in the day, and so I was looking forward to this show for a couple of years before its release.

And then I saw an episode of it, and by the end of it, we were calling it Kindred: the Embarrassed. I HATED it, and was delighted when it was cancelled.

Of course, there's just the eensiest possibility that I took myself too seriously back in the day....

We in Buffalo's gaming group called Kindred: 90210

Angel.
I don't get it. The show had gotten its best ratings, and the WB cancels it, yet they keep the unfunny and unpopular What I Like About You (one of the lowest rated shows to get renewed) for TWO seasons?! WTF?

At least Angel got 5 seasons.

Yeah, it may have gotten the shaft after season 5 but there was plenty of show to love. I would give an arm to have gotten 5 seasons of Firefly or the last full season of Farscape.

Sports Night

Totally forgot about that one. Great show.

 

[Zulithe]

Lots of great shows mentioned here.

My vote goes for Freaks & Geeks. And maybe My So-Called Life

 

[Dog Moon]

Aw, no one mentioned Touching Evil. It was on USA. AWESOME show. USA is a punk though, since I haven't even seen it on Dvd for purchase. [The remake, not the original show]

The Pretender is awesome. I just bought the first season. I think TNT picked it up for a little bit after disappearing from NBC, but it dropped really quickly after that.

I think Manimal deserves another shot.

It did, in an episode of Nightman.

I'm glad I was the first to mention Herman's Head.

My wife really liked Herman's Head. I would watch it with her, and liked it OK, but not as much as she did.

...Sports Night...

Oh yeah, very good show. I never watched it when it was broadcast, I'm not much of a television watcher. But my wife heard about how good it was so she bought the entire 3 season DVD set. I caught a few episodes off and got hooked with her. Its writing, I dare to say, was as good as Veronica Mars.

It repeatedly won awards too. It fit both comedy and drama extremely well, but I think the concensus is that it was too different to draw an audience. I don't care for either regular dramas or comedies. But the writing of Sports Night was just too good.

Even worse, it ended on a hell-of-a-cliffhanger! The agony!

And maybe My So-Called Life

Ahhh, My So Called Life... that show (along with the movie Dazed and Confused) defined what I anticipated high school to be like (it was - except for the gay best friend - entirely unlike the show). I *lived* for every episode of it on MTV. Fond, fond memories.

Wait a minute? You watched Dazed and Confused before high school?? And you thought that's what high school would be like??

I am feel so much older now....
