Eeeeee. That's a lot of money for not much return, especially given that the episodes were only a half-hour long.

Someone else knows of Ocean Girl? Can you say, guilty pleasure? It does affirm that Polish girls (even ones that live in Australia) are hotties.

I do LIKE PK Wars, but I'd have rather had another season, where they had to fill in with Normal Farscape that included jaunts around Tormaented Space.
And to go along with Aaron Sporkin theme from Sports Night, I'm really depressed he left West Wing after 4 seasons, that show was like watching a very well written, high quality movie every week!

Sliders was cancelled way too late. Way too late. When the only guy they had left from the original cast was Brown. OTOH, they killed off the Professor way to early. It went downhill from there.

Freaks and Geeks. Excellent show. It had characters you could really care about. It was the most realistic depiction of high school life in television history. And it had the best soundtrack of any show in television history.
Got completely sodomized against its will by NBC. Moved into a horrendous time slot and then cancelled after only one season. The creators, having heard the network's decision to cancel the show, actually ended it. The last episode actually concluded in such a way that it wrapped up the series.
Of course, it also left it open enough that it could be picked up again if the network changed its mind. That didn't happen, but, disappointed as I was by the brevity of the series, at least I never felt like it was left hanging. That alone shows you how good the show's creators are.

"Insider code"? I wouldn't call it an "insider code", but it's the short way of saying "Mystery Science Theater 3000".

I know it wasn't the best show out there, and not the best B5, but come on... so many unanswered questions. So many good characters.
I wish they would finish it in a Movie, or in the books, or comics, or a rap toon or something. DON"T LEAVE US HANGING!!!

Verily, since I had no idea what it was until you spelled out all the words of its title, I would say one would have to be an insider to get it.

First of all, I'd like to second the nominations of Sports Night and The Lone Gunmen . Yeah, I got just a bit peeved when they killed the boys off. Let's just say I raised my voice to the television that night.
And I have to mention three shows I haven't seen on anyone's list:
Max Headroom (the series on ABC, not the talks show somewhere on cable, I think)
VR5 (on FOX)
John Doe (on FOX; I'm still a little bitter about this one - the least they could have done was make a tv-movie wrapping up all the loose ends they left)

Wasn't Neal McDonough in Boomtown ? And now his new series Medical Investigation is gone. That guy has more bad luck...

The Flash was a show I liked ages ago I liked Covington Cross And I liked some show with this pretty robot cop woman. All of those got canceled. Every time I like a show they cancel it.

I forgot to mention Firefly. Actually, I didn't say anything because so many people had already covered it, but I should at least put my vote in.
Also, I think The Norm Show was cancelled too soon. I love Norm MacDonald. He's one of my favorite comedians. His second series, A Minute With Stan Hooper, was terrible and should have been cancelled after the pilot. But his first series was one of the funniest things I've ever seen. I still think of lines or scenes from that show and laugh until I'm red in the face.

Definitely John Doe. Definitely. So oh definitely.
Same as Lone Gunmen. There was so much material there.
First Wave. For sure. I loved Crazy Eddie.
Yeah, pretty much all the Vancouver sci-fi shows. They were all shot in my neighborhood. Well, sorta. They moved around from one area to another, but at one time or another, they were all in my neighborhood.

No No No They cannot cancel House. That show is growing on me. I hardly have anything I love on tee vee now... And they cannot cancelt Bernie Mac. It's really the best show. He was right in his book. He really did make the relationship between him and his fictional wife every loving and sweet, better than anything I've seen on Raymond. Posts: 9942 | Registered: Mar 2003

Mystery Science Theatre 3000 is one of my all time favorites. To this day, there are some movies I can't watch without robots. There are even more that never should have been seen at all without robots.

There was another show that was on around the same time as Lone Gunmen that I liked, called Freaky Links. I don't even think it got a whole season.

Anyone remember Sledge Hammer! from the mid-80s? I loved that show but hardly ever got to watch it because it was scheduled opposite the Cosby Show, which my whiny little sister always wanted to watch.

They better not cancel House . I'm completely phobic about medical things both in real life and on TV. Much as I like ER , I can't go more than ten minutes at a time without turning away for at least a few minutes or I'll start to feel my anxiety level rise. But I can go as much as half an hour watching House before I realize that I'm watching a doctor show and start to get anxious.

Yes, I'm talking to all of you that are still planning on watching Revenge of the Sith.
If it makes you feel any better, I decided that I will not see it.

I think fox cancelled it at the right time, at the season the professor was killed. When Sci-Fi got it however, they ripped the show to piecies.

Space: Above and Beyond. *observes moment of silence* Was destroyed by Fox in-fighting and politics. Strangely enough, the show was resposible for me ever listening to, and liking, a Johny Cash song.

I watched that show with my brother every week it was on. I had completely forgotten about it.

Keen Eddie was another show that Fox killed way too early. WHy don't they just play Simpsons reruns all the time, and then they won't have to get our hopes up that a good show will stay?

Angel - Yes the show got weird with the Connor storyline, but if Joss had one more season I think he could have delivered a truly superb ending to the series.

A show that was great that they ruined in the 3rd season was Millennium. That show rocked and then they ruined it.

Another vote for John Doe. That was my favorite TV show at the time they cancelled it. And I "don't watch TV".

And I can't believe I found out they canceled Dead Like Me here! My husband and son are distraught.
