Kind of like Batman... but completely different
One thing I really hate in TV shows, is when a show with promise, or even, often times really good shows are canceled due to... who knows what...
Therefore, I have made a thread to reminisce about TV shows taken from us too soon.
:
My list: Early Edition: a show about a guy who receives tomorrow's newspaper, and He uses the information in it to save lives, but it always seems to ruin his personal life. It lasted fairly long, 90 episodes which were hour-long episodes, but after re-watching season 4, it just seems like the ending was rushed...
X-men Evolution: Ah yes... this was a favorite of mine when I was little, and it was the thing that got me interested in X-men. I'll have to say that nostalgic look-backs on it are probably better than the show was, but I was very entertained by it, and I felt that the 9 episode season 4 seemed rushed, ending with a slide-show of what I'd have to guess would be their plans for season 5 if it had been renewed.
Futurama: Now this is a cheat in a sense, as there have been straight to dvd movies recently, as well as the fact that it has been renewed for mid-2010 episodes on Comedy Central, but I'd have to say that it never should have been put on Hiatus.
Reaper, New Amsterdam, and Pushing Daisies: Now I'm grouping these all together, because they were all around the same time, and were all similar in their reason why they were canceled. Reaper, was a little different, but still they fell under the same umbrella of cancellation. All were essentially these stories where the main character had some supernatural ability that allowed/forced them to fight crime/evil souls (Kind of like Early Edition). The problem was that all of these shows made their episodes in a Variation of the same template. The problem was that they were all interesting shows, that would have lasted longer, if the writers had more variation in their shows. Now some tried to do this, but by the time they did, their ratings had declined beyond repair.
Scrubs: again, a cheat, as there will be a new season, focusing on Turk and Dr Cox as teachers, but it won't quite be the same, especially without the Janitor. Now, Despite it's long life, this is one of the shows that never really gets old, so it counts as going before it's time.
Now, name your favorite canceled shows, that went too soon.
