All time? Freaks and geeks. Was becoming the quintessential coming of age show, had hard lessons that were from the point of real kids growing up. Each character was relatable in their own way, and should have gone on for years.
Second to that is Arrested Development. And yeah it was rebooted but the cast had moved on. The show was on a great role and was just ahead of its time. The episodic nature of it just wasn't popular then.
ReBoot. One of the most incredible, ground-breaking shows of its time, but it ends on a cliffhanger. I'm still holding out hope that we'll get a movie to tie up the loose ends someday.
Firefly and Pushing Daisies are staples in these conversations, so I'll throw in a less common one: NCIS LA.
I watched that show for over a decade. It was something predictable and comfortable. The show ending was like losing my favourite hoodie I've had for 14 years. Does it really impact my life? No. Do I miss it nonetheless? Yes.
Teen Titans ended with a cliffhanger and then Cartoon Network put out Teen Titans Go! just to add insult to injury. Certainly the pettiest thing I've been angry about for nearly 20 years.
Tuca and Bertie. Netflix cancelled it, then HBO made another season. But just before releasing it HBO cancelled it for a tax break. It's heartbreaking to think of the writers and animators pouring their lives into it just for nobody to ever see it.
The last episode has the two main characters drive off in different directions, knowing they'll probably never see each other again. It's actually a beautiful ending, but I wish they could have reunited.
I know that everything has to come to an end. But I hoped for more parks and recreations. I wouldn't even mind a different crew. Different city. Just keep Ron Swanson .
freaks and geeks. unbelievably stacked cast but the network never gave it a dedicated time so no one knew when they could watch it. then it got cancelled before they aired half the episodes citing poor viewership
So Help Me Todd. It was a really amusing, well written legal mystery show, and I figured it was so good that it had to last for several seasons, but it was cancelled after only two. Too bad, it was a terrific show, and would have been a great lead in for Elsbeth. I like the Kathy Bates show that replaced it, but its not nearly as good as So Help Me Todd.
Without a doubt, Netflix's The Society. Made all the worse for the fact that it was renewed for a second season, and was less than a week away from starting shooting that season when COVID lockdowns began. Rather than postpone like so many other movies and shows did, Netflix decided to cancel it entirely.
The Society had so much potential as a really engaging mystery as well as some serious sociological storytelling. It's so disappointing.
Cool ideas/setting, and Giancarlo Esposito was involved. Low-key haven't moved on yet. I get it, maybe the writing could have been better, good ideas, but not so good execution.
Stargate Atlantis and universe, Star Trek enterprise, Les moonves destroyed the last good series.
, nutrek just suck balls. The animated series attempts to cure that though, the live actions are so bad, STD, Picard and snw is not as good as it looks.
Atlantis and universe was under MGM so they had significant financial problems , been plaguing them for years, also the low viewership retired the whole franchise. The show runners allegedly said it's not possible for another series, due to "societal climate". There was going to be some serious reveals in season 3 for sgu.
