March 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(Rowand44 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 12:59 AM) I loved that show but that was on for a while. Yea they even tried to keep it going when he went to college. He was like in 6th grade when that show started. Boy Meets world hardly counts as being pulled before its time. My favorite episode was when Fred Savage (or Ben, whichever was the wonder years one) played one of Topanga's professors at college and made sexual advances at her, ahh nothing like a little sibling rivalry over a girl.
March 1, 200620 yr I would definately have to say Simpsons on this one. :headshake I must agree with the previously mentioned Playmakers and TV Funhouse. Both were gone way before they should have been.
March 1, 200620 yr Freaks and Geeks-One of the best shows ever on TV got screwed over by NBC and cancelled in less than one season. Undeclared-Created by the same guy who produced Freaks and Geeks and again got moved around and cancelled in the middle of its first season. Mr. Show-Not sure if this was really cancelled but HBO moved it around and never really gave it a chance to succeed. Andy Richter Controls the Universe-Not sure what happened here but I remember the episodes I saw were some of the funniest and most creative on tv. The New Tom Green Show-Lots of people hate him but his late night show on MTV was great and he should be given another chance to do a late night talk show somewhere else.
March 1, 200620 yr QUOTE(robinventura23 @ Mar 1, 2006 -> 06:19 AM) "NewsRadio" definitely comes to mind. First one that popped into my head as well.
March 1, 200620 yr I did think the long anticipated WGN series 2003 Cub World Series run, ended at about the right time . . .
March 1, 200620 yr If Arrestd Development doesn't come back that is gone before it's time. Both Night Stalker's could have gone longer. But the number one for myself would be Miracles, one of my favorite shows of all-time, really was never given a fair chance on ABC.
March 2, 200620 yr Is "It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia" cancelled? I heard it was on hiatus. That show was a f***ing gag.

I saw on FX like a couple weeks ago they showed clips from the last season, and clips from FX's other shows.....saying something like "we got the drama, action, and comedy" and when they said comedy they showed the sunny in Philly clips. It was kinda of like a promo to this year on FX.
March 2, 200620 yr I just looked on IMDB.....says they'll be back for more shows...starting this summer....probably June. Little bit of good news today.

IIRC that, a show with people with eating disorders (Forget what it was called but it was hillarious) and Rescue Me head up there summer lineup. They also had that show on Iraq but I have no idea if that will be back.
March 3, 200620 yr QUOTE(knightni @ Feb 28, 2006 -> 04:07 PM) NBC would have canceled "House" by now if it had chosen it over "Medical Examination". "House" is really not that great of a show, but the character House is probably the best character on tv. He's great.

Dunno...but It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia is coming back, and Greg Howerton stated that it would be around June until episodes were aired or started filming, don't know which he did not say

If you want to see Hugh Laurie (House) in a very different light and can get to see older British TV, look out for Jeeves and Wooster or better still any of the BlackAdder series'. BTW in case you are not aware BlackAdder also starred Rowan Atkinson in the leading role. A far superiour show to Mr Bean, which I am told was very popular in the US, although I'm not sure why.

Brit humo(u)r is quite funny to some people in the States because it is a bit wittier than the Gallagher "Hey folks I got a sledgehammer and a bunch of food to smash!" American blatant laugh-getters.

Agreed, BlackAdder is absolutely hilarious. Which one is Hugh Laurie in Black Adder though? The prince? Bolrick? Anyone know if BlackAdder is available on DVD in the US?

In Blackadder series 2 he plays Simon Partridge and Prince Ludwig in Blackadder series 3 he plays George, Prince of Wales in Blackadder's Christmas Carol he plays George, Prince of Wales and Lord Pigmot in Blackadder The Cavalier Years he has a walk on part as a Roundhead and in Blackadder Goes Forth (final series) he plays The Honorable George Colhurst St. Barleigh. and yes I am a bit of a Blackadder anorach!

How do you feel about Fawlty Towers? I thought it was pretty funny but not on the level of BlackAdder
March 6, 200620 yr Firefly was so badly bungled by Fox. They showed episodes out of order and didn't give it the time it needed to succeed. I love SportsNight; it was a very smart show. If "Scrubs" gets canceled like some of you think it will, I'm going to be one angry man.

I think the proof that Firefly was bungled was in the reaction to the movie. It was a pretty popular movie when it was in theatres, and it is expected to do well when it hits DVD(if it hasnt already and i missed it)
March 6, 200620 yr My favorite television shows that are dead are, Greg the Bunny. Rocko's Modern Life. The Critic. That's from least to greatest.

Serenity was a pretty decent film.
