Shows that you liked that got cancelled too fast
 

Minding the Store (or whatever)
Whatever that show was with Pauly Shore managing the Famous Comedy Store. It was on TBS for a bit and I thought every episode was hilarious. Too bad it is no more.

Kid Nation
Has anyone watched the only season of this show? The whole thing is SO funny. The kids are so messed up and the host is probably the goofiest guy on the planet.

There are countless others, such as Undergrads, Clone High, Undeclared, Freaks and Geeks

I kinda like Tru Calling, it was cancelled after the first season but not until after the first 5 1/2 episodes of season 2 were taped, so they decided to finish the 6th episode before stopping production.

Drive all 4 or 5 episodes Fox aired were great.

Knight Rider may get cancelled and I really enjoy it for some strange reason.

Too many, alas Bravestar, we barely knew ye.

Firefly, it really deserved better treatment from Fox the it got.

Frisky Dingo

Show was so excellent.

I really liked Point Pleasant for some reason.

Kid nation was great. Did you see the episode when they had to decide whether or not to kill the chicken for food and the black kid stood up and said "Who here likes chicken? Because I like fried chicken!"

Invasion

Surface

Journeyman

The Black Donnellys.

Journeyman

Drive

Firefly

Carnivale

Deadwood

Miss Guided (surprisingly funny show)

Fuck, Deadwood, Yeah, that was bullshit.

One of the best shows ever.

Andy Richter controls the Universe.

wow, how gay are you?

Off Centre.

It was on the WB for a while I think then it just kinda disappeared.

I will kill you.

1996-1998. RIP.:wavesad:

I actually liked the show Reunion on Fox. The idea behind it was great, just the ratings were awful

Also, I liked a couple of VERY short lived US game shows, one of which I have very little recollection of:

Winning Lines with Dick Clark,

and

I can't remember the title of the other one, but they had a bonus round that winning the bonus prize was contingent on spelling the word HOLLYWOOD, with a big giant replica of the HOLLYWOOD sign (as an LED). Anyone remember this show?

and how could I forget,

The NEW Price Is Right with Doug Davidson (1994-1995)

I could have sworn that show was on a lot earlier than that.

No. You are probably confusing it with Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego?, which ran from 1991-1996. Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego? ran for nearly two full years, from October 7, 1996 (within several weeks to a month of the end of WITWICS) to October 2, 1998.

Oh, and although Lynne Thigpen was "The Chief" for the full 7 years, the two shows had different hosts. Greg Lee hosted World, while Kevin Shinick hosted Time.

Eerie Indiana
Firefly
Deadwood

All I remember of Carmen Sandiego is the theme music.

Freaks N Geeks
Stella

Carnivale was amazing. So pissed that one got cancelled. Wasn't even cause of ratings, as it was one of the highest rated programs when it was on. Fucking budget reasons. Cheapskate bastards.

I quite liked the CGI Spider-Man series that was out a few years ago, but it was only on for one season before being cancelled.

There's only one thing left to do. You know what it is...

DO IT, ROCAKPELLA!!!!

Well she sneaks around the world
from Kiev to Carolina,
She's a sticky-fingered filcher
from Berlin down to Belize,
She'll take you for a ride on a slow boat to China,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Steal their Seoul in South Korea,
make Antarctica cry Uncle,
From the Red Sea to Greenland they'll be
singing the blues,
Well they never Arkan-saw her steal
the Mekong from the jungle,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

She go from Nashville to Norway, Bonaire to Zimbabwe,
Chicago to Czech and Slovakia
AND BACK!

Well she'll ransack Pakistan
and run a scam in Scandinavia,
Then she'll stick 'em up Down Under
and go pick-pocket Perth,
She put the Miss in misdemeanor
when she stole the beans from Lima,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?
Oh tell me where in the world is... Oh tell me where can she be?

Ooh, Botswana to Thailand, Milan via Amsterdam,
Mali to Bali, Ohio, Oahu...!


MONDAY THROUGH FRIDAY AT FIVE!

Well she glides around the globe and she'll flimflam every nation,
She's a double-dealing diva with a taste for thievery,
Her itinerary's loaded up with moving violations,
Tell me where in the world is Carmen Sandiego?

Where in the World is Carmen Sandiego?
WATCH YOUR BACK!




Rockapella's a really great group, with several cd's out. Most of the original members aren't part of the group any more (in fact, they had gone through a couple changes before and during WITWICS).
If you get a chance you should check out their song "Zombie Jamboree". It's pretty cool in a silly sorta way.

I finally watched this on dvd a few months ago. It's so depressing that it got canceled after the first season. I was really looking forward to seeing what they would do with the whole Lindsey becoming a deadhead story.

I live for the day that Pauly Shore and Carrot Top have a show together so I can Uzi the place and get rid of them at the same time.

....so me and Hanso were the two guys watching Surface?

Oh...John Doe.

Arrested Development.

Part of me wants to say, Angel. But it ended quit strong, and had 5 seasons, so in some ways it doesn't apply to the Q.

arrested development (i'm happy with how it ended, i just wish i could have gotten more)
dirt (yeah yeah i know)
freaks and geeks
stella (didn't watch it when it was on; really should have)

can't think of anything else

Clerks Animated

Shasta McNasty

Freaks and Geeks.

Terminator, if the rumors are true.

Deadwood
Firefly
Surface (now 3 people watched it)
American Gothic (still shits me how that was cancelled)

Sports Night
Firefly
Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip
The Critic

Dug this too. Plus the one chick was super hot, not the blond girl but her friend.

How has no one mentioned Veronica Mars yet. Fuck you all.

Also there was a really awesome show from Showtime a while ago starring Eric Stoltz, called Out of Order. Top notch stuff, only made it 6 eps I believe.

Oh and Dead Like Me.

Jack of All Trades starring Bruce fucking Campbell.

Jake in Progress

Deadwood

Just finished this whole series and I am just so pissed theres nothing else.

That series was rather weak. The sketches weren't even funny, even though it was supposed to be based around a SNL-esque program.

Arrested Development
Jericho

Definitely Arrested Development :y:

Arrested Development

Playmakers - that show was great and I really want to know what was going to happen, the was still time left in the game!!

Awesome clip of them singing it live (\/):

There's tons of ep.'s of World on Dailymotion, but unfortunately, not any yet of Time. Just go to the wiki page for WITWICS and under the Origins section, like right beneath it, there is a link containing a list of all the episodes, even if some ep. details are partially incomplete. If you see one you like, type it's title in the search bar on dailymotion. At least that's how I do it. If nothing else, I at least do it for the nostalgia of it all.

Oh, and who could forget

and the man who made it famous (no, not Peter or Rod): Michael Larson!

Arrested Shitvelopment didn't get cancelled soon enough.

You have awful taste in everything and you may be clinically retarded. No offense.

None taken. So fuck off. :)

YES!!!! funny fuckin show

How about that show where they were all white rappers trying to get signed

Everybody Hates Chris (soon to be cancelled :'()
The PJ's

The theme to the Time (1997-1998)version of Carmen if anyone cares, goes like this:

Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?

We're on the case, and we're chasing her through history!
Nero's Fiddle, Lincoln's Beard, Newton's Apple disappeared
The finest tea from the Ming Dynasty
And the Niña, the Pinta, the Santa Maria--we've got to get them back!
Tell me, Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
Stop her crime, and solve this mystery
Tell me, Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
We're on the case, and we're chasing her through history!
(REPEATS)

The 1996 ending went like so:
We're on the case, and we're chasing her through history!
Chronoskimmer, engine's hot, V.I.L.E. villains, evil plot
Our brave Squadron Leader will help us defeat her
And bring back the loot to it's rightful place in time!
Tell me, Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
Stop her crime, and solve this mystery
Tell me, Where In Time Is Carmen Sandiego?
We're on the case, and we're chasing her through history!

(this version of the ending was also the opening theme to all the seasons of the show.)

me and my college roomate used to watch Off Centre....good show.

Undeclared was good too.

This thread wouldn't have been complete without Diesel Mac making constant reference to his hatred of Arrested Development.

Or at least his "hatred" of it so he gets a rise out of people.

This is easy for me. 3 South. Loved that show so much.

A-gee-gee-gee!

Due South was always treated badly. Shame, it was pretty good.

:D

Seriously tho I just couldn't get into it. I tried but just couldn't. I'll leave it alone now.

I second that.

NOT. I win.

American shows are shit. Australian programming like Koala Bear Boomerang puts yank humour to shame.

Koalas aren't bears mate.

Actually got to see that show awhile back. Thought it was pretty good. To bad I never saw it's first run.

:y:

This was a good show. :(

Plus Eliza Dushku is HOT :naughty:

Greg the Bunny

Way to many.

Titus
The Lone Gunman
Stargate Atlantis (come on SG1 got to 10 seasons after it was supposed to end at 7)
The Meth and Red Show

There's more, I'm just to tired to think.

Spy Game

Playmakers

Andy Richter? COME OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOON

Dead Like Me

I like it.. only seen like half of the first season, but I guess it got cancelled after only 2 seasons. Thought it was pretty good.

Wings

Titus was sweet.

Shows that you were like "Damn that got cancelled too fast"

Guiding Light

Over 50 years counts as too fast? :p

Clone High.

Futurama. Sure it lasted 4 seasons, but that wasn't nearly enough for me.

I was against Family Guy's cancellation at first... now I kind of hate that show.

:y::y::y:
