My So-Called Life wasn't cancelled, but it still should of went on longer, feck Claire Danes and Romeo and Juliet.

Invasion deserved more than 1 season.
Deadwood, Firefly and Arrested Development are the most obvious ones I've watched.
I wish the final season of the Wire was a few episodes longer as it felt a little rushed.
I also would have liked to see John From Cincinnati given a 2nd season.

Was that the one with the squid things that morphed into humans (or somthing like that)?
If so then YES.
I'll agree with that. It's one of those series that could have made it over here (though it'd probably fit in more with our video-game industry since we have little science to talk about).
I'll also say Black Books, oh and I always wanted more Summer Heights High.
Eli Stone definitely had more to it.
Studio 60.......Damn you 30 Rock(Still love it).
Brimstone, A mate turned me onto it a while back and I hate him for it because it was fantastic but depressing because there would be no more.

Just watched both seasons last few weeks and the fact HBO cancelled it should be a criminal offence. Great story, great characters, great athmosphere, great everything. I really hope seasons 3-6 will be made one day.

Firefly and Dark Angel (surprised nobody else has mentioned it) are the two that really stand out for me.
Disappointed to hear Survivors was cancelled too early, I've only seen the first series but it's quite a good one. Did they wrap it up well at least, or did they only find out it was cancelled after it finished?

No chance really. Too high budget for anyone other than HBO. Amazing show though.
It's a shame that not many have ever seen/heard of it.
Could always make a movie but I don't think that would work.
Dirty Sexy Money
only lasted two seasons, but I thought it was quite promising

Lost belongs in the "Should have been canceled sooner" thread.

I thought that was decent without really being great, I've got the second season somewhere but not got round to watching it which isn't like me which I guess shows I wasn't that into it. Donald Sutherland is ace though.
Jericho
Black Donneleys.
I really liked TBD. Awesome cinematography, good characters aswell but shame it never got the reviews it deserved.

I used to always like the Black Donnelly's , used to be on RTE late at night. Ended on a feckin cliffhanger too!
the second season is pretty good actually
6 series was about right. I wouldn't mind the odd extra episode showing what happened after the series ended but nothing more is needed.
We have watched all six series back to back over the last couple of months. Great TV even if the first 3 series, where there is a great deal more mystery, work better than the latter 3 that try to explain what went on. Not quite as good as Dexter but well worth watching.
The end assumed a further series. Very disappointing.
Celebrity Pro Wrestling 
Damn.
Eldorado.
This was such a good show! Mahone from Prison Break was in it. The season had ended really well. No clue why it got cancelled
This Life
Agreed, and I loved Lost, bar the ending that everyone predicted in Season 2.
Been mentioned a load of times already but Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip. Fantastic show
I loved the show until they actually started showing the sketches. They were so awful that I couldn't believe it was a popular SNL. They should have had separate writers for the sketches. Completely killed the show for me.

Outcasts. While it was pretty shit it seemed like the first series was only partly completed at the end of the alleged series finale and then it was canned for good. Shit series but I'd have liked to have found out a few things about the plot.
Of course the answers would probably have been engagingly stupid but I'd have liked the opportunity to be enraged. 1 more episode to wrap it up might have been enough.
1) Where did the diamonds come from. Especially since they were huge cut and polished stones.
2) What is the exact nature of the organisms that are trying to kill the humans.
3) Why is the God bothering Yank trying to conduct a bloody coup with the newly arrived ship (and who are they?)
4) Where did the extinct hominids come from?
5) What happened to earth?
Etc
