I remember a lot of shows coming out in the late 90's and my favorite one was...POPULAR. The second season ended with a HUGE cliffhanger but the WB cancelled it. Pity. It was so fresh, esp. the first season. Anyone remember? Carly Pope, Leslie Bibb, Leslie Grossman, Sara Rue, Christopher Gorham, etc. starred in it. You probably know them from other shows now.

I also wish that show called "Maybe It's Me" wasn't cancelled either. Things were picking up on that one.
bashful_harmony
Xena the Warrior Princess
Charmed
Sister Sister
Fresh Prince of Bel-Air
Boy Meets World
Sabrina the Teenage Witch
Even Stevens
Powerpuff Girls
Grounded For Life

That's all I have for the moment..

*edit--

REBA !

Ohs and Futurama smile.gif

I loved Popular when they canceled it too. That cliffhanger finale always pissed me off. It was definitely a lot better than most of the teen shows that are on now.

ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

It was one of the most highly acclaimed shows and it only had 2 1/2 seasons. It'll probably always be remembered as one of the great shows that was canceled because it was ahead of it's time.

One would think I'd say Buffy, but I think Buffy felt pretty complete when it ended. Angel had an excellent finale, but the WB randomly decided to cancel it during it's 5th season and the fans didn't really get much closure. So I wish they hadn't canceled it.

Also, Friends. I know it had 10 seasons and they're all getting old now, but I don't care, I still think every season is hilarious and if it were still on I'm sure I'd still be watching and loving it.

Oh, and, last season they canceled two new comedies I started watching. The Class and The Knights of Prosperity. That pissed me off. They couldn't have had at least another season? Especially The Class. That was hilarious.

Popular! LOVE THAT SHOW.
They had to stop when Nicole hit Brooke with the car .... =//=
AND, Fresh Prince of Bel Air laugh.gif

Arrested Development , Freaks & Geeks! Those shows were funny and the story line was great too.

Charmed and Boys Meet World ended pretty well I thought. I wasn't completely satisfied with Angel's ending though. I wanted to know if they survived.

Others that just came to mind:
Reunion (I want to know who the killer was!)
Committed
The Oblongs
Futurama

BTW, Popular episodes are out on youtube if anyone feels like rewatching.
fading_tales
Firefly.... I'm a sci-fi geek. Hehe... But totally loved this show. Sucks that it didn't even get a full season.

Ah, Dead Like Me. Such a good, but short-lived show!

I also like a show called 'John Doe' (the main character is Dominic Purcell, Lincoln Burrows from Prison Break). It was only 1 season, but the storyline was great, and I wish it went on longer =\

Oh, and the tween in me wishes Breaker High wasn't cancelled =(
res0nate
The Class
Arrested Development
Firefly
Freaks and Geeks

Married with Children.

I hope FOX burns down. Shows that I don't mind seeing canceled... I'll have a field day with that.

i was about to say Arrested Development..soo hilarious. i wasnt too into it while it aired, but i watched the season dvds and i got hooked. sadly, it was cancelled by the time i realized how funny the show was. the tech-tv channel/gaming show occasionally airs re-runs which i watch sometimes.

At least we got Serenity out of Firefly.
Rainie
Friends
Roswell
Xena
Sabrina the Teenage Witch

Another one was that racing show...with all the nice cars...I think there was a girl and 2 guys. I forget what it was called, but it only aired for like 1 season.

Those were the shows that I watched as a teen.
babygurldoc
FOX tend to cancel a lot of good show...ugh that's what i dislike most about them...

REUNION...i was so p*ssed off when they canceled this show...i wanted to know what happen and the storyline was so good...bring it back

Buffy...maybe one more episode will be good...i just want Spike and Buffy to be together
theedqueen
Alias
Freaks and Geeks
Joey
Iridescence
Definitely Dead Like Me. That show was awesome and I'm so sad it ended. I wish it were more popular and yeah... But at least when I'm in the mood to watch it, I watch it on Sci-Fi. But I wish they had newer episodes. I felt incomplete at the end of the second season.

And then Reunion. I wanted to see who the killer was. That kills me.

Arrested Development is the number one, though. That show was hilarious and I can't believe that it got cancelled. It was brilliant, hysterical. Man... I miss it.

What I Like About You! I can't believe they only held out 4 seasons sleep.gif

Definitely Popular & Charmed. At least Charmed ended, they just left Popular hanging..

well i dont consider a show "cancelled" when it actually gets a series finale. I consider it cancelled when the story doesnt really end but the show does. So Fresh Prince and Boy Meets WOrld, and ROswell actually had series finales....so i left those out..........but i really liked Dark Angel, John Doe.........The Adventures of Lois and CLark Threat Matrix

I hate science, but BNtSG made a lot of it interesting when I was younger.

There was a lot more.. but I can't remember right.
x_x Does anyone happen to know a show that aired on UPN that looked like Mortal Kombat (but it wasn't..) and it even had tournaments with the life gauges and stuff? T_T I want to know the name.

I'd also have to add Veroncia Mars to this list. I'm still heartbroken over this cancellation. They should give us a made for tv movie that ties up all the loose ends. I NEED to know if Veronica and Logan end up together and if Vinnie Van Lowe actually won the election. I'm so upset that VM isn't returning that I've sworn off the CW. I love Supernatural but hopefully I can remain strong smile.gif

I agree! That was the first show that popped in my mind when I first read the topic.
Next one was Reunion! I thought it was sooo good!
