Agree with this too. I thought I was the only one of the planet who doesn't get that show.


I get it. I just think its stupid.


How funny. Most of feel the same way about you. Cute.


i think that comment may be hilarious. I expect the LOLs to kick in in about 45 minute.

Boomtown - they used flash pov before Lost was even on the air

Brisco County Jr - Anyone who remembers this show that it starred the great Bruce Campbell

Millenium - I thought parts of it were better than X-files. Too bad they didnt give it a chance to grow

All the great HBO shows like Carnivale and Deadwood


I agree with the first two. Boomtown was a good show, but NBC kept changing the timeslot towards the end. Brisco County Jr was really a neat concept that just never took off. I loved it though. Another show I loved that never got great ratings was Sliders. I loved that show and it pissed me off what they did in the third season. They never finished that show and then it went to Sci-Fi channel and got worse (I mean the fifth season). Quantum Leap was another one that the character never got home.

I would have enjoyed one more season of The Borgias.

And I was devastated when NBC axed Dracula.

I'd say "Veronica Mars" but we got the movie which wrapped things up pretty nicely so I can't be too upset about that:

As of late:

"Happy Endings"
"Trophy Wife"
"Enlisted"
"Selfie"
"About A Boy"
"Suburgatory"
"Kings"

Since I watched Hit and Run, I keep mixing up these movies. Kristen Bell is Veronica Mars and vice versa. The movie wasn't as memorable as the show. I feel every Kristen Bell movie is somewhat another entry in the Veronica Mars universe..

Dead Like Me and Veronica Mars are the two biggies for me.

Out of the recent cancellations, I really wish Selfie had survived.

That might be why I enjoy most of them :P Aside from Pulse I thought all her post series films were entertaining. Hit & Run was legitimately hilarious and You Again and When In Rome are guilty pleasures.

I loved the movie though. Thought it was a perfect capper to the series.

It was so underrated. The episodes that aired post-cancellation on Hulu were really the best ones and Karen Gillan was brilliant on that show. The one where she sang "Chandelier" was heartbreaking! She deserved a Golden Globe nomination at least. And Eliza and Henry were so perfect.



I also really miss "Suburgatory" (from the same creator) and Jane Levy being on my screen every week. It deserved a proper ending.

Good call, but Seinfeld is one of the rare shows that was never cancelled.

For me, I'm always thrown at Quantum Leap. I didn't even need another season, but could we have a proper send off. I mean the last episode had like 20 million viewers and made no sense.

Others:

Titus
Brisco County
Arrested Development
X-Men the animated series

I liked Super Fun Night better than Black-ish.

"Super Fun Night" and "Mixology" were two of the worst shows ABC has ever aired :P

Definitely agree. Also, Manhattan Love Story gets the honorable mention for being terrible on ABC, but Jake McDorman is good looking and Analeigh Tipton is a great actress.

Nice, another Titus fan. The last great sitcom to tackle incredibly dark subject matter until Mom.
