[The Tyrant Virus]

Never watched SAAB, but Firefly really was something special.

[Chiasm]

I never watched Firefly until after the Serenity movie came out but I'd have to agree its pretty good.

[Chiroptera]

Definitely Firefly. I'm still stunned they actually cancelled it.

[titanfan]

Easily, Models, Inc. Herman's Head is always a sentimental fave too.

[4thHorseman]

Futurama

10 characters max

[Ben Morgan]

Never seen Firefly of SAAB

[Jeff Brady]

Howaydoin was re-watching Space not too long ago, and said it did not hold up to the test of time.

[cedardryad]

Firefly, Lone Gunman, and Millenium.

[buttler]

The Ben Stiller Show.

[GozertheGozarian]

Greg the Bunny.

[DaeJi]

Firefly and Futurama.

[Hybrid2]

I tryed to watch Firefly when it started.the characters did'nt grab me at all.
The movie was fine.not great.
Space was fun.realy did'nt last long.


Lone Gunmen was a lot of fun.

I cant remember any show right now.

[tangentman]

Firefly also took MY Number 1 vote! Criminal case of "premature cancellation".

Brimstone deserves a spot on the list, particularly for Jon Glover's Devil.

Tru Calling. Not always consistent in plot quality, but Eliza Dushku, Shawn Reaves, and Zack-Can't-Spell-His-Last-Name made me care about the central cast. I liked the set up and thought the series progressively delivered on its potential. I think Season 2 had so much possibility, but FOX screwed it.

[TCJohnson]

Brimstone.

[Netley]

Arrested Development!

Job and Tobias were soooo funny!!! Actually, they all were. That cast really played off each other well. I miss that show. :(

[EZMOHR]

Once and Forever, The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.

[thespianphryne]

Arrested Development.

Also, why no love for Wonderfalls?

[cedardryad]

Once and Forever, The Adventures of Briscoe County Jr.

I loved Brisco. I had the biggest crush on Bowler.:D

[Aggie]

AD and firefly...no doubt, but also "wonderfalls" too...

[Gilda Dent]

I'm afraid I'm the one responsible for the cancellation of Firefly.

I knew it was associated with Joss, but didn't watch because the advertising actively annoyed me. I wanted at times to reach through the screen and strangle the blonde guy screaming "Who's flying this thing?" in every single commercial.

then i'll be at your door to personally give you a noogie...:p

[jerrymcl89]

Millennium (though, to be fair, three years was a decent run, esp. by Fox standards)
Wonderfalls
Firefly
Futurama (which also had a decent run, although it was almost impossible to find it due to football).

[Dr Ray Palmer]

Futurama, definitely. And jerrymcl89 is right, for its last year it was impossible to find due to football chronically running late. Will it be on? Will it be late? Will it be joined in progress?

[LtMarvel]

Some day, the answer could well be The Simpsons (because it is the best show anyone aired in time Fox existed).

Until that day the answer is Arrested Development.

1st Runner Up Futurama.

i think a show that runs for nearly 20 years doesn't get canceled, it just runs its course...when i think of canceled shows i think of anything that runs less than 5 full seasons

[tangentman]

Arrested Development.

Also, why no love for Wonderfalls?


-Das

AD = the show I should have watched, but somehow never managed. Shame on me, I think.

I also only saw 15 minutes of a Wonderfalls episode, though they were certainly an enjoyable 15 minutes!

it's funny this thread was made, because i just wrote a post on my LJ about the very same thing...but yeah, you must watch AD if the opportunity arises and also i high recommend wonderfalls too.

Oh... well, maybe that show doesn't count, then. :(

Wonderfalls
Brimstone
SAAB

Briscoe County

Kindred the Embrace, maybe?

[Dr Ray Palmer]

i think a show that runs for nearly 20 years doesn't get canceled, it just runs its course...when i think of canceled shows i think of anything that runs less than 5 full seasons

Also I think of "canceled" as when the makers of the show want to keep making more but the network pulls the plug on it against their wishes. So I doubt Fox will ever cancel The Simpsons per se; I expect eventually Matt Groening & co. will decide they don't want to do it anymore.

[DaleKaleD]

I gotta say, all the ones listed so far are great. But I have to add "John Doe" to the list, to end it on a cliffhanger that shifted your perceptions of the entire season, and leave the major question of the season unresolved, thats just mean.

[Spiffy]

There are SO many.

"Wonderfalls" is a big one though.

"Family Guy" was technically canceled, I believe, and only came back because Animated shows can do that easily and they had INSANE DVD sales

"Dark Angel" had problems, but is some ways deserved a lot more time. Even Jessica Alba's acting couldn't ruin a good premise.

"Firefly" was indeed brilliant, but in some ways I actually liked its reinvention as Serenity. The kooky old westie language actually was kind of cool.

"Space: Above and Beyond" was Wing Commander fully realized on TV. And should NEVER have been cancelled.

"Tru Calling" was NOT a great show in many ways. I'm only including it because it DID get noticably better near the end and it would have profitted by another season in terms of tying things up nicely.

"John Doe" is another case of a show with some problems that actually had POTENTIAL if it had been given more time. Of course the show was virtually redone and skewed younger by ABC Family as "Kyle XY", so maybe that's been covered. :-)

I wasn't personally a huge fan of "Millennium", but so many people love it in a cult sense that I suppose it deserved more time.

"Arrested Development" is another example of a show I never personally got into, but I know fandom really expected to be supported better.

Like many here I too enjoyed "The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." but until I saw the support for it here I never would have thought it would appear on people's lists like this!

"Andy Richter Controls the Universe" was kind of cool and deserved more time from Fox.

"The Tick", dudes. It ALWAYS boils down to "The Tick".

Also, while we are at it... not as much as "The Tick", but "Greg The Bunny" was also VERY interesting.

Again, I wasn't personally a fan, but I recall a lot of dissapointment over "Grosse Pointe" being canceled, because it kind of lampooned 90210 and Melrose Place, and Fox needed that to be done.

Very recently, I'd have to say it was a shame that "Drive" didn't get more time. I saw a LOT of potential, even if some aspects were massively silly.



If I have to pick THREE of that massive list as the biggest shames?
The Tick
Wonderfalls
Space: Above and Beyond

[Carlton Donaghe]

Darnit, I can't think of the name right now, but it premiered the same season as HEROES. It was about a senator's wife being kidnapped, and there was this big conspiracy surrounding the kidnapping. I really liked that show.

A non-Fox show that I really liked which got cancelled, an ABC show, I believe, was DAYBREAK. It was about a man reliving the same day, over and over. That show was awesome.

[Pauly T]

I'd say that Arrested Development, Futurama, and Firefly pretty much represent the Holy Trinity of shows disrespected by Fox.

However, since it hasn't been mentioned so far, I'm going to go with a sentimental favorite: Fastlane (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0320000/).

Man, I loved that show...

[bfrank]

Easily, Models, Inc.

I love you.....

[howyadoin]

howyadoin was re-watching Space not too long ago, and said it did not hold up to the test of time.You got that right. It only got half-decently good towards the end, and even then most of the acting was terrible.

[MacQuarrie]

"The Tick", dudes. It ALWAYS boils down to "The Tick".
I was wondering when someone would get to the Tick.

Though I think that was equally the fault of the producers. If they had just let the Tick be the Tick instead of trying to turn it into Seinfeld in Spandex, it might have had a chance.

[Tobias March]

Arrested Development for me, easily. Watched the last episode again last night.

[Pauly T]

And for no one's amusement but my own:

Animated Tick only lasted three seasons and deserves to be on the list. Live action Tick blew and deserved everything it got.

[Kevinroc]

I find the lack of love for Titus to be disturbing.

[Netley]

"The Tick", dudes. It ALWAYS boils down to "The Tick".

If I have to pick THREE of that massive list as the biggest shames?
The Tick
Wonderfalls
Space: Above and Beyond

I totally forgot that the Tick was on Fox, that's right! Hilarious show that actually remained quite faithful to the comic (like lots of dialog directly from the comic and such). Didn't they make a live action version too? Never saw it, but I think they made at least one season.

I forgot about Space: Above and Beyond too. I remember it being touted as the next X-Files.

Anyone remember VR5, about "virtual reality" through internet connections (or something, I don't know - it was mid 90s). That was one of the worst shows ever but as a kid I remember liking it haha! (Not too heartbroken that remained canceled, to be honest.)

[Agent Helix]

Most of these shows were actually awful.

Futurama, however, was not.

[Alan Lynch]

I'm going for the cop-out and say Firefly. It's brilliant right the way through.

Honourable mentions for The Tick and Futurama though.

And as much as I loved The Adventures of Brisco County Jr, I can see why the network gave up on it; it's a weird, weird show. I didn't even know that was Fox either.

[Spiffy]

I actually was referring to both versions of the show. But I actually kind of liked the Seinfeld in Spandex aspect of the Live version, because it gave the show a kind of absurd minimalist aspect that justified us never seeing anyone in action.

[4thHorseman]

http://faqsmedia.ign.com/faqs/image/article/739/739691/al_bundy_vs_chobot.jpg

Did Married with Children even get a true finale?

I was actually wondering about whether or not it was actually "cancelled" or just decided to end. Last episode I believe was the one where Kelly almost got married.

And it's probably the series I enjoyed the most growing up.

[LewisH]

on this list that I miss particularly. I tried Firefly and when I find myself actively hoping that the characters who I am supposed to be rooting for
fail and/or die I know it's not a show I want to watch.

Anyway WB has cancelled a lot more decent shows than Fox has, starting with Angel.

[scout1279]

I agree. In an odd way, it seemed kind of appropriate. I loved the cartoon and the live action show, and I want them both back.

Here's my list:

Firefly
Arrested Development
The Tick
Briscoe County, Jr.
Drive
Wonderfalls

I also quite liked The Inside once it got into its groove and I would have like to have seen where Tim Minear was going to take it as showrunner. Plus it had a great cast, so I'm going to give it an honorable mention.

[stealthwise]

I thought that the last episode was the one where Al hit his head on the coffee table and had to fight Satan's football team for his family's freedom. Goofy premise, but the episode worked.

[Alan Lynch]

Anyway WB has cancelled a lot more decent shows than Fox has, starting with Angel.
What other shows have they binned? Buffy and Angel are the only WB shows I could actually name.

[Stressfactor]

Firefly and The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

I got the complete series of Brisco for Christmas and damn if the show wasn't even BETTER than I remembered it! The episode that first introduced Sheriff Aaron Viva... I laughed nearly the entire way through! I would have loved to have seen a second series if only so they could have gotten more guest stars. Even though it probably never would have happened I really wanted to see an episode in which Brisco and Bowler in their "working for the government" mode met up with retired Agent Jim West from "The Wild, Wild, West".

I will say this, though... Even though the series only got a single season at least it ended properly -- with Brisco and Bowler riding off into the sunset.

Those are the three that it comes down to for me as well. At least for The Tick and Futurama, we got multiple seasons.

I don't know about "best", but I'd have to give my first place vote to The Tick because that's my favorite out of the three. It's really close between that and Firefly though.

[AndrewCrossett]

I tried Firefly and when I find myself actively hoping that the characters who I am supposed to be rooting for fail and/or die I know it's not a show I want to watch.

That's the exact reason I stopped watching Battlestar Galactica and Torchwood.

Yeah, I think the cancellation of Firefly qualifies as the lowest moment in the history of Fox. (Not counting Fox News).

[4thHorseman]

I thought that the last episode was the one where Al hit his head on the coffee table and had to fight Satan's football team for his family's freedom. Goofy premise, but the episode worked.

Yeah, I might be wrong. I just remember when FX would play them in the morning, and they seemed to be in order. I remember the Kelly getting married episode and the following day had it back to the original season. So I may very well be wrong, especially since no episode really had a "finale" feel to it if I recall

[LewisH]

Well there was this one called Birds of Prey ...

You know, I WANTED to like that show but I just couldn't. I'm NOT one of those people who insists an adaptation has to be ABSOLUTELY faithful to the comic book but there was just so much about the TV BoP that seemed to be change for changes' sake. I mean, no Earthly reason Huntress had to be metahuman and NO reason to turn Dinah into a teenager with telepathic and telekinetic abilities.

I wasn't sorry to see it go.

and the show on fox that was about a senater's wife being kidnapped, was called kidnapped

[Jack Zodiac]

"Futurama," and it's a shame it didn't get the same revitalization "Family Guy" did from Adult Swim, because as mindlessly stupid-funny as "Family Guy" is, "Futurama" was honestly sharp, witty, hilarious, and well-written. Easily one of the greatest cartoons in history.

"The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr." were awesome, too. Steampunk sci-fi? Good shit. "Firefly" came close, but I think it was played too close to dramatic for me to find that entertaining, whereas "Brisco" was just plain fucking fun. Also, any show with Bruce Campbell in it is going to be awesome.

And then there's "Strange Luck." The show wasn't ever going to be as popular as the other weirder shows on Fox, like "The X-Files" and "Millennium," but I thought it was great that the character, Chance I think (gotta love a good pun), had such good luck at the expense of those around him, and they never got to explore that very well since the show got canned in under a full season.

Didn't Cartoon Network pick Futurama up for 13 more episodes? As long as they're better than that crappy "Bender's Big Score" movie...

Nope, Comedy Central picked up "Futurama" and the rights to air the movie (which was flawless and amazing, you assface! :mad:), and I heard that they were going to make new episodes with the same writers, voice actors, and everything, so... here's hopin' that actually fuckin' happens!

Wrong. It was called 'Vanished'. The last episode they 'aired' on the website was crappy since they didn't really resolve anything.

Strange Luck was great, would have loved to see that cross-over episode they were planning with the X-files.

Freaky Links was a show that was gone too soon.

[Alan Lynch]

Last I read, Futurama won't be getting new episodes, but will have another two or three movies.
As I understood it there would be 4 movies released on DVD, which would later be cut up into half-hour episodes for Comedy Central or some other channel we don't get over here.

Kidnapped was also cancelled too soon though, and it was really good.

Other shows FOX cancelled too soon: Pasadena and Alien Nation

I am amazed that a show as good as Pasadena couldn't make it, but one as idiotic as Desperate Housewives could. Maybe it was just a timing thing, but it's not fair. I'm still bitter about that one.

At least ith Alien Nation they made a few follow up movies, but when they resolved the cliff hanger ending from the series, they changed it. That will never stop annoying me.

[Spiffy]

I already gave my list, but just for laughs I looked up some REALLY old TV schedule grids to get some more obscure shows. FOX really WAS wacky very early in its history.

--Parker Lewis Can't Lose (1990) - I recall LOVING this show. It lasted 3 seasons, but it probably merited more.

--Herman's Head (1991) - It was just freaky original for a sitcom in those days. It DID get three full seasons--a LOT for a sitcom on FOX in those days, and maybe the idea DID eventually have nowhere left to go, but still... it was interesting in a set of years where most TV was pretty bland.

--Woops! (1992) - More the idea than the actual execution I remember. The existance of the recent show "Jericho", along with those old schedule grids, made me think of this. In short, basically its a reinvention of "Gilligan's Island", but in a post-apocylpse situation, minus the need for an island or any potential rescue. Again, it was an audacious idea, but I don't recall the actual execution living up to it.

--Sliders (1995) - I realize that Sliders continued for another 2 years after it got booted from FOX, but if the idea is to talk about shows that we wish hadn't been canceled by FOX? Well, Sliders WAS and I recall being very upset about it at the time. But it was complicated, because as I recall, Season 3 SUCKED, and in some sense many people were glad it got killed after such a dismal season.

--Action! (1999) -- Only marginally on my list, because I am NOT a Jay Mohr lover. But I DO recall it only lasting one season, and I also recall it being VERY explicit and VERY critical of Hollywood, so it stuck in my mind a bit as being kind of cool.

--Normal, Ohio (2000) - I recall thinking it was a gutsy show, because John Goodman played gay, but in a VERY non-stereotypical way. I also recall America not being able to deal with John Goodman playing gay in a very non-stereotypical way and NOT WATCHING. Looking it up, apparently he won a Golden Globe for this, despite the show tanking after a mere 7 episodes. I'd be lying if I say I recall specifics from the show, but I do remember my overall impression.


==================================

Does anyone remember the 1997 FOX Sci-Fi show The Visitor (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Visitor_%28TV_series%29)? Because while looking that those old TV grids I found it and damn, it mystifies me that I TOTALLY don't remember it. I mean its not on my list of shows cancelled before their time, because I can't, but I'm curious how bad it had to have been for me to have TOTALLY blocked it from my mind.

Wait. Here's another Fox antique I don't recall! Werewolf (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Werewolf_%28TV_series%29)! With Chuck Connors!

I remember The Visitor, it was on Fridays I believe. John Corbett (who was later on Sex in the City) was a WWII pilot kidnapped by aliens who returned years later to help steer humankind to a better path. Kind of a cross Starman/Fugitive/The Phoenix type of show. Only couple of episodes I remember is one where he taught some professor the secret of anti-gravity and another where he was on some kind of trial against other abductees.

I loved Werewolf. Was a summer hit with an ad campaign of having an 800 number where people can call in with werewolf sightings.

[Johnny_Luck]

I understand The love for FireFly and Brisco, but honestly people only 2 votes for the amazing show that was Tru Calling. It really didn't have a single bad episode and everyone in the cast was awesome in their role, which is rare.

Not to mention Only 1 vote for Dark Angel and while the second season wasn't as good as the first it was still a really killer show that had potential to go and do great things.

[Gail Simone]

Wow, it's amazing how many good shows never got the chance to shine.

Greg The Bunny and Futurama and Arrested Development are all classics I watch constantly.

Never saw this, but fairly recently it aired on SciFi UK every night. From the trailers it looked kind of like The Fugitive; I didn't give it a look because I thought the concept had been done to death. In fairness I could have been duped by lame advertising there.
