Anuvver fing - when they do sumfing, they try to make it look like somfink else to confuse everybody. When one of them wants to lord it over the uvvers, 'e says "I'm very speshul so'z you gotta worship me", or "I know summink wot you lot don't know, so yer better lissen good". Da funny fing is, arf of 'em believe it and da over arf don't, so 'e 'as to hit 'em all anyway or run fer it.

It ended with the Christmas Special because the team behind it had told the story. Which is good, and how more shows should run - short, focussed runs with an ending in mind.
If you want more of the same try The Extras, same people, same kind of jokes and basically the same plot.
Though I haven't had a chance to watch either of them I've always heard that Arrested Development and Freaks and Geeks were really good.
They were. To the credit of the network, they gave Arrested Development a second season despite poor ratings, just because the show was good. But come the end of the second season ratings hadn't improved and ultimately the stations aren't there to spend a lot of money on shows people aren't watching.
By the way, I don't think Jackass was cancelled, I think Knoxville left to try movies (how did that work out?) and the rest went on to start their own shows like Viva La Bam and Wildboys.
I wish Desperate Housewives had been cut after one series. As a one-off it was pretty good, some funny lines and an interesting mystery. As an on-going show it was forced to get more and more improbable with its stories while at the same time the writing got less and less interesting. In fact, I could say the same for 24.
“We may observe that the government in a civilized country is much more expensive than in a barbarous one; and when we say that one government is more expensive than another, it is the same as if we said that that one country is farther advanced in improvement than another. To say that the government is expensive and the people not oppressed is to say that the people are rich.”

Reboot ended as far as I know. It did have a lovely happy ending.
Come to think of it they never finished Exo-Squad! That was a great show with serious drama and action. Pity they canned it two episodes into a new arc.

What was the ending ? i saw the one on youtube where its supposed to be Bob and Dot's wedding.

As far as I know Bob, Enzo and that other chick return from the web, the computer is saved and all is well, with a little Enzo now running around besides the big Enzo.

You want to cancel Spongebob? She Who Must Be Obeyed, Sir Frazzled, Zantar the Master of the Pit, Genghis Connie, several thousand gay men, and about 30,000,000 kids and their parents invite you to go yourself. Sorry, I was just...being serious
The show is funny, crazy, but has real morals (do good, be good to friends, responsibilty)
If you persists in this I know at least two Vietnam vets with kids who will volunteer to come to your house to help you with this problem.

Farscape is the only one I wish hadn't been canned.
Other than that, nothing I can think of.
I'm not one for asking for other shows to be cancelled just because I don't like them. I don't see why others shouldn't enjoy it if they do, more power to em an all. I mean if we let that idiology become norm, well we wargamers are fethed.

Arrested Development and Firefly for me. Would have been Futurama in the #1 spot there, but good news everyone! When Family Guy was cancelled I thought it was a shame, but it should have been left to die instead of being resurrected as now it just focuses on the college market with the same hackneyed jokes and structure from the first few series. Battlestar Galactica should have been killed before the last season too.

Another shout out for Arrestted Development and Farscape.
I really dug the animated JLA/JLU cartoons as well, really well written.
I thought, dodgy as some of the early episodes were, that Birds of Prey had promise at least, as did the Lone Gunmen spinoff from X files.
Going back many many years I rememebr being highly amused by an old sitcom starring George Clooney called ( I think ) Emergency Room ? I'm sure it hasn't aged well but made me chuckle at the time.
My ex girlfirend was big on "Kitchen Confidential" and I must confess, some what embarassingly, it did kind of grow on me.

We love our superheroes because they refuse to give up on us. We can analyze them out of existence, kill them, ban them, mock them, and still they return, patiently reminding us of who we are and what we wish we could be.

Shows that shouldn't have been cancelled:
*Homicide Life on the Street.
*Dark Shadows (Vampire soap opera for the the win!)
*Quark
*Mad TV
I can't think of anything else.

How would they kill BSG before season 4 with the way season three ended? /boggle

They actually did a new season a couple years after Season 3 aired and ended, but it was never completed. Which is weird, because Season 3 was very much an ending, other than the new super virus running around the net which was supposed to be resolved with a movie(which became a new season).
Frazzled wrote:*Dark Shadows (Vampire soap opera for the the win!)
Whilst I love Dark Shadows, the show did originally air for nearly 5 years.
There's a Dark Shadows movie planned, as well. It looks like it's going to be another Tim Burton Johnny Depp/Helena Bonham Carter love fest.
As for me, Clerks: The Animated Series should never have been canceled. It still amazes me that Cartoon Network hasn't tried to pick it back up, but then that mean something good was on Adult Swim again.

I enjoyed Harvey Birdman: Attorney at Law (featuring the voice of Stephen Colbert)
I'm glad Futurama is coming back in the regular format. The movies were pretty good but I prefer the old episodes
Agreed on Clerks. That show was surprisingly funny.

Firefly
Carnivale: HBO show that was cancelled just as it got really interesting
Crime Story: (dating myself here...) Michael Mann's 1950's crime drama, rated by Time as one of the best 10 shows of the 80s, cancelled after 2 seasons. A LOT of actors got their start here, including Kevin Spacey, Julia Roberts, David Caruso, Andrew Dice Clay (pre-profanity-laden comedy), Gary Sinise, and others
