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

[danzig138]

Something from the late 70's/early 80's...I'm not sure what it was called, but I think it was Phoenix. About an alien awakened from his sarcophagus on earth too early. He was searching for his girlfriend/wife/mate or something like that. He had a medallian that let him shoot rays or something.

Phoenix, starring Judson Scott (Khan's second in ST II). For years, I was the only person I knew who remembered this show. People thought I imagined it until a few months ago, when a question about it appeared in the TV Guide.

Anyone remember the name of a show about 3 kids in a band who got hold of an amulet that allowed them to see ghosts, and they had to help the restless spirits get resolution and move on? It was on Fox or WB, I think. I'd look it up but I've got nothing to go on.

Thank you. I was afraid that I would see no love at all for Dead Last, and that I might have to go randomly assult people to deal with the rage. Dead Last was a hoot, and I think it's a terrible shame that the WB dropped it.

Sports Night which I actually saw every episode of when it was on the air and watch semi regularly now that's on DVD

Tru Calling: one of the few shows to get canceled twice

Cupid: this was a great show with Jeremy Pivenbut it didn't last a year

Erie Indiana...brilliant show even though it was aimed at kids

Buffy: I stand that 7 seasons was not enough even though the 7th season they had no idea what they were doing......

Yup... Harsh Realm it was. Welverin let me borrow the DVD's. Seeing the rest which never aired... >sniffles< it was going to be so good!

Season 2 of Millennium was one of the best seasons of TV I've ever seen.

And it had the best season finale I've ever seen, hands down. That episode should be in the Smithsonian.

 

[Mystery Man]

Phoenix, starring Judson Scott (Khan's second in ST II). For years, I was the only person I knew who remembered this show. People thought I imagined it until a few months ago, when a question about it appeared in the TV Guide.

Ah I hadn't realized this was mentioned already. And now you're not alone!

Pitty, I would have gone for Farscape, which would have had more in it than 4.2 seasons. I had all but forgotton about Crusade (I loved it, but especially since the episode where they watched pron ... great!)
What about Forever Knight (I think it was called)

 

[Desert-Raven]

Cancelled too soon

My votes go for:

Brimstone
Dark Angel
Witchblade
Tru Calling
Lone Gunman
Huntress

I'm sure there are more I'm forgetting.

Many good shows have already been mentioned here, some I had even forget about. (Werewolf: The Series, wow I used to love that show. )

One I didn't see mentined was Friday the 13th: The Series. Ran only 2.5 years, but it was one of my favorites at the time (and I had a huge crush on the female lead, Mikki I think)

That's it! Thanks, danzig. They did some fun stuff with the three leads being able to see ghosts and no one else could.

And thanks to Crothian for mentioning Eerie, Indiana. That was a great surreal series. I can't open a Tupperware container now without saying, "Freeeesssshhh!"
