Okay so today I will have my first rant via blogging. This is about television and how the best shows on television always end up cancelled. I am thankful for the few shows that make it (current favorites include Heroes and How I Met Your Mother), but these shows do not make up for the great shows that have been cancelled. The most recent blow would be Pushing Daisies. This is the third show that the great man Bryan Fuller has created and the third show by Bryan Fuller that was cancelled way too early. Now I am going to leave you with a list of AMAZING shows that were cancelled WAY too soon. Comment and let me know your favorite cancelled series I am always looking for new shows to check out.
1. Wonderfalls - One of Bryan Fullers other series that was cancelled by Fox after airing a measly 6 or so episodes and constantly switching the air dates so that people who wanted to watch couldn't figure out when it was on.
2. Dead Like Me - Another amazing piece by Bryan Fuller. Ever thought maybe Grim Reapers don't really walk around in big black cloaks carrying scythes well if you wanna see some interesting dead characters check this show out. (Showtime Series) P.S. - Coming soon is a direct to dvd movie that will give us a bit more closure on this great show.
3. Veronica Mars - Great show about a Snarky Girl Detective. I mean how can you go wrong there plus plenty of romance and drama.
4. Point Pleasant - The ending was one of the worst cliff hangers EVER! I love the show the characters were great and it really holds your interest.
5. Arrested Development - Another show luck enough to have talk of a follow up movie. Really funny shit on this show so check it out.
6. Firefly - A huge upset to any Whedon fan. It has a great movie to follow, Serenity, that was even relased on the big screen but we could have had so much more if it stayed on the air! (Damn Fox, damn you to hell!)
There are plenty more but I will leave you with these six for now and I am sure there will be more rants in the future just wait.

I agree with 5/6ths of these. Thank God for the Dead Like Me movie coming out and supposedly the Arrested Development and possibly VMars one too.
ReplyDeleteI saw Serenity in theatres four times. I don't think I've seen any other movie that many times, but it is seriously a classic.
If you haven't seen Kitchen Confidential or Drive (both cancelled prematurely), you should check them out too.
Why isn't Freaks and Geeks on this list? Liz, you are slipping. Lol.
Nice rant.
snarky haha. i don't watch TV much anymore- except for House.
ReplyDeleteEverwood was canceled. I would have been okay with that, it had been on for awhile, but the way it happened sucked. During their last season there was a lot of hype about the final season of 7th Heaven, there was a count down to the final episode. Then the next year they brought back 7th Heaven and canceled Everwood. How irritating!
ReplyDeleteYeah right after I posted this I thought of more! Freaks & Geeks, Undeclared, Kitchen Confidential, and I am sure I will have more quite soon.
ReplyDeleteTru Calling was another good one that got canceled just as it was getting awesome.
