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

ooh, another vote for Space: Above and Beyond
I hope they'll bring it out on DVD sometime, but I doubt it.
That show was so cool.
Chaplain: "Colonel McQueen, perhaps you should make peace with your Maker."
McQueen: "My maker was some geek in a labcoat, an eyedropper and a petri dish. What do I need to make peace with him for?"
Chaplain: "These times we should all make peace with our Maker."
McQueen (moves up to Chaplain): "With all due respect chaplain, I don't think our Maker wants to hear from me right now. Because he knows I'm gonna go out in that sky in this plane and remove one of his creations from his universe. And when I return I'm gonna drink a bottle of Scotch like it's Chiggie von Richthoven's blood and celebrate his death."
Chaplain (taken aback): "Amen."
Damn you, powers that be, damn you.

In no particular order:
Firefly
Lone Gunmen
Miracles
Profit
Kindred
Brisco County Jr. (1 season and when they are coming out on DVD?)
Birds of Prey
Tru Calling (Their replacement, Point Pleasant, did *worse* than this. *sigh*)
VR-5 (1 season, ended on a cliff hanger)
Strange Luck (Again, DVD?)
The Flash (DVD?)
Roar (although I haven't seen them all yet, they are TiVoed from SciFi)
American Gothic (LOVED that show!)
Witchblade (although given the star's problems, it is understandable)
TekWar (One of the few Shatner things I like.)
Max Headroom (Wow! Probably even MORE relevant today!)
Brimstone (didn't see much, 'cause I heard it was canceled and I didn't want to get hooked, but I liked what I saw.)
Pretender (only canceled because NBC needed a slot for XFL. Grrr.)
Skin (Was that the name of it?)
Nostalgia
Automan (Yep. Watched it and loved it 'cause of TRON)
Manimal (vaguely remember)
Man from Atlantis (ditto)
Other:
Point Pleasant (I don't think it was great but I liked the concept)
The worst part is that a lot of these were on FOX and instead of getting a niche market, they kept wanting to compete with the "big boys" and so instead of having some good, quirky shows, they are as mainstream as the next. Ugh.
Things to kill instantly, irrevocably, even with wish or miracle, never have DVDs and never speak about again:
All reality shows.
(Dave Foley had a great line about them. On Celebrity Poker, it was all reality stars. He said, "I make my living as a writer and an actor. So, [being here with all of you], I feel like a virus surrounded by white blood cells.")
Great topic! Thanks!
Have a good one! Take care!
