What are some of the shows you wish were still on?

This week USA cancelled a couple of my favorite summer shows.(Common Law and Fairly Legal) It brought up all those feeling from the last time they cancelled some of my favorites.(Alcatraz, Breakout Kings, The Finder,(R.I.P Michael Clarke Duncan) and especially A Gifted Man from last season) got cancelled.(There are so many more throught the years) Anyone who knows me knows I love TV. I will watch anything, with the exception of MTV and most reality shows. So When a show I like gets cancelled it's a bit sad.

What are some of the shows you were most sad about being cancelled throughout the years?

Rant away :)

Yes, Frasier and Seinfeld still make me laugh :) Friends sometimes too. Really miss some of the 70's shows like Laverne & Shirley.

Does anyone remember the show "Sisters"? It just popped in my head this evening for some reason... that was a pretty good show in its time...

Tess, can you remember one of the actresses?

Snail, I can remember the whole main cast -Swoosie Kurtz, Sela Ward, Patricia Kalember, and Julianne Phillips played the four sisters... and they all had names that could be abbreviated into boyish nicknames - Alex, Georgie, Teddy, and Frankie. There was a plot in the later episodes where they found out they had another sister whose name also conveniently fit the mold. Goerge Clooney was on it too... it was like the early '90s, and he was on pre-"ER". Also Ashley Judd, Paul Rudd, Robert Klein, and Nora Dunn were also part of the supporting cast at one point or another. It was a primetime serial drama focused on the lives of the different sisters and their dynamic both as adults and kids and there were a lot of flashbacks to their childhood interspersed with the modern day drama.

Is it too soon to add shows that were just cancelled? Because I really did like "Trophy Wife" and "The Crazy Ones" and I'm bummed they didn't get picked up for a second season.

At this point I'm not sure if I've mentioned any of these before (because frankly I don't feel like going through all my past posts in this thread to see if I have) so I'm just going to assume I haven't and proceed.

A couple British series that I wish were given another season or two because they still had plenty of stories left to tell would include "Being Human", "In The Flesh", "The Fades", "Survivors", and "Torchwood". Granted the last run of "Torchwood" was just awful (but I blame that on it being co-produced by Starz so the show had to stretch a flimsy premise for the season by a few episodes and what started out promising devolved into utter junk. But the first three seasons/series were great so I wish they would do a 5th run and have it somehow reverse all the bad stuff that happened in the past - namely that last season - and leave fans with a happy ending of sorts rather than a bitter WTF feeling). The UK always does sci-fi well but for some reason some shows don't get as much love even with strong premises and at least half way decent production. I'd still trust a sci-fi show from the UK to last longer than a US one though these days...

    I recently heard a great 2007 song the other day, "Falling Slowly" because it popped up in my newsfeed, accompanied by the sad news that the  male singer, Glen Hansard, just died in a motorcycle accident.  I learned that the song won an award and was featured in an indie movie called Once. I just watched it, and it's really good.  They made it in 3 weeks on a $100,000 budget. It's streaming on...
