TV series that end prematurely
- Thread starter Logan!
- Start date
Bodies. A grim hospital drama with Max Beesley. I think they did two seasons but it didn't get the ratings.
Agree with Deadwood but Rome finished at the right time.
It's better to finish too early than too late like the Simpsons and Scrubs though.

Scrubs is not only still going, but has been going downhill in quality for years.
Technically this is a spin off that's running isn't it? 'Scrubs: Med school' or something.
I agree though the quality has gone down, particularly this year when they replaced JD with that splitarse. How can you have Scrubs without JD? He IS Scrubs.
Holy shit! Holy fecking shit!
I watched the "final" episode! I watched JD saying goodbye and moving on and everything being finished!
And now I find out that it's carried on, except that the only two characters left in it are Dr. Cox and Turk, a woman is now narrating it and it's set in a fecking medical school!
ARGH.
Dead Like Me should of got a couple more seasons.
It got a made-for-TV film that came out about a year ago.
Don't remind me of that man... you're bringing back some painful memories...
I could have done with a few more seasons of Black Books - although in fairness at 3 seasons it had already had one more season than most of the classic punchy British comedies (Fawlty, The Office, etc)
I liked that show. The main actress falls into the 'strangely atracitve' category for me.
My Wife and Kids
I'd like to throw my vote behind Clone High. Cracking show.
Jake 2.0 - Not the greatest series ever but was cut short. They could have let them finish the series.
Terminator TSCC - moar Summer Glau, program was just finding it's feet when they canceled it.
Dead like me - Great series, humour in it was basically mine.
Firefly - Duh
Pushing Daises - One of the most original series i've seen for a long time, colourful, brilliant and charming. Cut short again.
Boston Legal - Why on EARTH did they cancel this?

Terriers. How the hell did this get cancelled!?
Invasion.
Just commented about this in the other thread.
Brimstone.
tbh, I thought it had ran its course midway through the third series.
The reason why things like the Office and Fawlty Towers are remembered so fondly is because they knew when to call it a day.
You take a situation and you make it funny but you can only make so many jokes about it before it starts to repeat itself and you start to get that deja-vu feeling.
I suppose it doesn't apply completely to comedy - it can just as easily apply to other genres too.
Far too many great shows have outstayed their welcome imo.
Boston Legal was good, I dont think it ended early though they seemed to get through what they wanted as a script as far as I remember although I wasnt the most avid watcher I think I have seen every episode
Party Down
Flashforward - BECAUSE I WAS LOADED Nah just kidding, it was a pile of shit.
Can't think of anything that wasn't mentioned a year ago. Rome, Arrested Development, Firefly and Carnivale are still the most gutting for me, after all these years.

Considering soapies can go to more than 10 season of dragging on madness, 6 season of this old gem is too little, we want more. They don't even have the chance to bring in fresh faces, other than michael's occasional sex object

Is this a joke?
Deadfeckingwood
full house
This went on too long, it should have ended after 4 seasons at most.
Freaks and Geeks
Kitchen Confidential
Greg The Bunny
Firefly
Sports Night(it at least had two seasons)
My So-Called Life(Claire Danes' fault though)
Chappelle's Show(again, not really a fault of the network)
Wonderfalls
Pushing Daisies(again, it at least had two season, though one was short)
Dead Like Me(film was horrendous)
Undeclared
Carnivale
Popular
Terriers
The Riches
Networks not pissing off David Lynch for Twin Peaks
Flight of the Conchords(not sure if this was their decision or forced by HBO though)
Deadwood and AD also, but they had 3 seasons at least, so can't really moan.

Terriers was too good to cancel after one season
I think Flight of the Concords was there decision, I think they couldnt come up with material quick enough, as it took a lot time in writing/creating the music and show.
Watching the second season now on netflix instantwatch... it's not as good as the first without whatshername that went to Glee.
Swingtown was pretty good and that ended too soon.
Better off Ted was cancelled after two seasons
Lucky Louie was great, that lasted one season
Heroes.
Yeah, i said it!
Yeah, i said it!
buffy- had 1season of 12 eps and 6 more of 22eps as a fan and despite the myriad of vamp copies it had its time .
i think that quantum leap also had a good run.
i did feel as though angel had another series or two in it.

Twin Peaks
Oh come on, they maintain originality of the cast, if they decided to bring it along with new casts it'll be 10 season at least, I can't believe people say this considering Buffy ended up being related with monsters, dracula, werewolf, and other mythical mumbo jumbo nonsense after a few season.
It would have stabilized the Olsen twins as stars for sure
So so true!
I could've sworn I started a thread about it but can't find it now.
Anyway, I read a rumour about a possible movie which would just rock my little world.
Firefly was basically DOA for Fox. They aired the episodes out of order. So you had shit like, in Episode 1, everyone knows each other and all the major cast members are around and chilling.
Then in episode 2, people are gone and nobody knows anyone and all sorts of oddness.
Made it impossible to follow for people tuning in.

I forgot all about Freaks and Geeks. Great show.
Pushing Daisies still upsets me, Anna Friel alone should have kept it going.
