Cor says Xena.
There is no show that I wish were still on. The travesty that X-Files became shows me that shows need to end when their time comes. That show should have ended at least two years earlier than it did, and not left a sour taste in my mouth. AFAIC, Xena was on its way downhill when they ended. ST:TNG was at their peak, and at the time I was livid. Looking back, though, I have no memories of the show peaking and then going on to suck, so I think they played it right. Drew Carey should have been canceled several years before too.
Welcome, by the way! (Are you new?) Do you have lupus?
Now, shows that were canceled before they ever got a chance is another animal altogether. Back in the eighties, I remember thinking Dataman was pretty cool. More recently, there was a show called Now and Again that seemed pretty cool to me.

I got to the point where I could never remember who was related to each other and which revelations had turned out to be fake. The alien war and the one armed Russians had a lot of potential, but they never went anywhere with it.

I forgot to add that Knight Rider is the show that first introduced me to critical thinking as a kid. It was the episode where Michael and Kit were chasing the bad guys through the streets and Kit hits a pedestrian and kills him/her (can't remember who the pedestrian was). I was just a kid but I remember thinking about what circumstances warrant police chases through residential neighborhoods and who was at fault if an accident occurred. I found an issue that resonated with me.
Airwolf was just cool—flying out of that canyon. The stories about the brother POW were enthralling. I have always wanted to see an episode, now that I am older, to see how stupid Airwolf really was.

And one of the only uses of first person narration where the narration was both funny and actually added to the drama and flow of the show.

I agree. It is better to see the two seasons, but if you are looking at it arithmetically, I think season one has less plot lines it needed to resolve. I was so stoked to find out about the face in the wood, the owls, and so much more. I am so mad Kyle M. backed out of a third season. That show could have gone 1-2 more seasons easily.
I am glad we found out who the killer was. I did like season two better, but if you think watching season two will leave you satisfied, you are wrong. I think it was a stroke of genius that they could resolve the murder and make the show more interesting, not less.

I just read through all of this thread and was terrified no-one was gonna mention Twin Peaks.
But Alexa whats that about Kyle Mclachlan pulling out of it? I thought it was cancelled in the US because of poor ratings and a general panning by critics who didn't understand or never saw the pilot.
And um..... *spoliers*
What face in the wood? The Owls symbolised when someone from the Black Lodge was near - like Bob.
Whereas the shaking hands symbolised when a member of the White Lodge was near.
Remember fear and love open the two different doors. Thats why Cooper's hand shakes when he talks about Annie, Pete's does when Audrey and her fella confess their love, and the same with the random customer in the diner when Bobby tells Shelley he loves her.
I just wanted to see more on the White Lodge. To find out what happened to Ben Horne after he banged his head fighting Donna's father. If you remember he's seen at the end of the last episode but no mention is made of what happened to Ben.
Plus a couple of episodes from the end Ben is in his office, he follows Audrey to the door and as it closes a strange sound is heard behind him, he turns around startled with a look of fear/surprise (?) on his face. What was THAT about?
Oh and opinions on Fire Walk with me? *cough* Sorry, love Twin Peaks i'll let ye kids get back to these current day TV shenanigans.

Ooh, forgot about Space: Above and Beyond. Once you got over the pilot/ground pounder thing (even with their cheesy attempt to reconcile the two), that show was great. It was a shame they had to rush the conclusion - they ended up wrapping up too many loose ends all at once, instead of letting them play out more naturally. The "Guadacanal" episode was amazing.

Proteus,
I could be wrong as I have no source to back it up, but I heard that Kyle Mclachlan pulled out because he did not want to be type cast and he wanted to focus on movies. I must admit, I bought the VHS of both seasons years after it stopped showing on TV, so I watched them all at once.
*SPOILERS*
The face in the woods is..Chen? I forget her name--the Asian lady who takes the mill. It has been so long, I am now forgetting the circumstances, but she...can anyone help me out with this? What exactly did happen?
Posted by Proteus (Member # 794) on :
SPOILERS!!!
The actress' name was ???? Chen and she played Josie Packard. When she died, Bob took her soul/ trapped it in the wooden chest of drawers by her body. It never elaborated on her fate but one can assume her soul is trapped in the wood of the bedside cabinet.
And with regards to Kyle M. He pulled out of the film Fire Walk with Me through fear of being typecast as Agent Cooper, he was going to have a bigger part but thats why Cooper is in such a small part of the prequel film.

Quick question.
Does anybody know what happened to the X-files? I stopped watching it fairly soon after the movie. Was there an end? I'm assuming it went out with a whimper.

Ah, yes, the X-Files.
From what I remember, the series ended with Mulder groping Scully under the pretex of finding God in her blouse.

I got my grubby little hands on one of the unaired episodes of Wonderfalls, and now I'm possibly even more bummed the show got cancelled. This is precisely my kind of humour; there are very few shows that can have me laughing ridiculously while sitting alone in front of my computer. And Jaye is hot.
Oh well.

So true. I loved the X-Files so much, I've seen every episode, but I still think it should have finished before it became an hour long parody of itself.
I'd rather loose a great show at it's peak than have to watch it slowly die. Mulder and Scully were given character transplants and they they killed my three favorite characters and brought them back as tacky, star Warsesque ghosts. For that, they can never be forgiven.

You are so right, Dagonee. I have actually gotten into heated debates about that.
Let me second the following:

And add:

Remember that series "V"...sci fi thing w/ aliens that ate gerbils and whatnot. Or was that a mini series? Either way, wouldn't mind seeing it again just because.

It was called Mr. Sterling.

I wish that they still had Babylon 5 on television, but only as re-runs. It would make me sad if Babylon 5 went as long as TNG. That was one of the big strengths of B5 -- it had a specific story with a beginning, middle, and end. When it was over, it was over.
But I wish I could watch re-runs on TNT every afternoon again.

Just wondering if you're aware that Season 1 is out and Season 2 is on its way. Posted by no. 6 (Member # 7753) on :

Firefly
Because I don't watch that much TV, that's all I can think of. I want them to air the new Doctor Who's over here though.
And Avidreader, if you're still around, I can safely say that there is no Christian bashing in Firefly, although I think I might know which episode you saw.
