Spin-off: Which shows did you love that were cancelled too soon?
 

Taking a cue from Villavic's thread, which shows were cancelled way too early that you loved? Mine are:

-Millennium: I love Lance Henriksen but was not much of an X-Files fan, so I didn't know how this would be. But I loved it and would tape it to watch with my grandmother. VERY dark and grim. It was only on for three seasons and when they cancelled it, they didn't explain anything. Bastards.

-American Gothic: Probably my all-time favorite show. Everything was perfect. But CBS hated it, aired it out of order, and killed it after one season. So good and so addictive, but in a way I'm glad it got killed early because CBS forced Jake Weber (Dr. Matt) out of the show at the end of the season and I was furious (loooooove him!).

-Twin Peaks: Killing this show after two seasons was and still is incomprehensible.

-Lateline: This show cracked me up. It was sort of like a parody of Nightline and the whole cast was hysterical. I just found out it came out on DVD, so I can't wait to get it!

I couldn't think of any, but i pick Millenium, also. One of my favorite authors wrote the book/story for the pilot (found out way after show was cancelled) Elizabeth Hand. But yeah, i really liked that show. I liked how Lance was kinda creepy himself...

Lance rocks. :nod: That face of his is one of the best faces on any actor out there.

It came out on DVD a few months ago, but I haven't watched all the discs yet. They do look fab, though!!!!!!!!!!

But you've seen all the episodes, right? I haven't, that strikes me as a great winter rental :thumbsup: Thanks for the heads up.

Yeah, I've seen them all. It's maddening, though, because nothing gets wrapped up in the final season. :mad:

:mad: You must be a masochist. But, it was kind of that kind of show....

The only one I can think of right off is Wonderfalls. Cancelled after only four episodes. :(

blessed be~

Yeah, I agree. That show was great! My mom and I still talk about it to this day. Gary Cole was sooo creepy, and that lady slept with him, or whatever happened exactly...can't remember all the details. LOL. I just remember thinking 'what is she doing!' And then Lucas Black was just so cool. Love the accent and he was such a cute little kid. He's actually quite cute now too...he's currently in the movie 'Friday Night Lights.' (don't recommend it, not as good as I thought it would be).

Abso-friggin-lutely!
 

Can i just stop and say...by reading the ledge, i'm constantly amazed at how much different TV y'all have managed to watch. Sesly...it's amazing. :wavey:
I mean, not to say i've always been all busy, or anything, and i thought i watched tons of tv, but really, no. That's what makes it even more mysterious :confused:

Merlyn, Lucas Black's sister, was sooooo creepy. And the way Gary Cole killed her was just so disturbing, I'm still creeped out by it every time I watch an episode. My favorite aspect of the show was the relationship between Lucas Black and Dr. Matt, though, I thought it was fantastic. And Paige Turco's character was just so weird.

Amber, this was years ago, when they made good television shows. :laugh: What I wouldn't give to have shows like Twin Peaks, American Gothic, and Millennium back.

I know, but i wasn't just talking about that. I mean all the shows people talk about. And, i'm actually older than a lot of people, (including you) shouldn't i have seen more television? :confused: acckk! I'm missing countless cultural references! :laugh: P.S. Liked Twin peaks for a minute, got irritated after that :sorry: clearly, i'm in the minority on that one! :laugh: But i think DL is mostly way overrated. Enjoyed lost highway, but :shrug:

Wished I could...
 

remember any but alas I cannot :shrug:
