[Sorry if a threads like this one have been done to death.]

Hadn't Seinfeld been on for, like, twenty years? (I jest, but it has, what? Nine seasons? Sometimes it's better to let go.) Boy Meets World just wasn't the same when they went to college. As much as I loved the high school years, I was glad to see them put it out of its misery. Eric had become a caricature, and once Corey and Topanga got married...well, remember Moonlighting?

But to the list, I'd add:

Firefly

The Others

The Adventures of Brisco County, Jr.

Brimstone

Now & Again (not to be confused with the Sela Ward show)

Valentine's Day with Jack Soo and Tony Franciosa.

Mr. Novak, shortly after I sold to it. It lasted 2 years and died opposite Combat.

I totally agree with Arrested Development. I'd also add Love Monkey, I only saw a few shows and then it was just gone.

It use to watch it in passing when I was a kid. I believe it was cancelled when I was nine, or something. I never got the fool effect! I have the series on dvd now, and I really wish it wasn't discontinued.

That show Teddy Geiger and Ben Folds made guest appearances on? I think it came on around the same time Boston Public. Gosh, I wished the corporate powers that be could have let BP stay.

Paper Chase

I'd like to add Journeyman, Daybreak and Traveller to the list. All shows that had plenty of promise. At least ABC released Daybreak on dvd so although they failed to show the whole season I am catching up on the series at the moment so no spoilers please!
For me the most disappointing one was Journeyman. The show had so much potential and there's no sign of it being released on dvd yet. I really loved that show!

Don't forget Firefly!

Profit.
Angel (it had more than five seasons to it).
Blue Skies (90's program starring Tom Wopat).
Aaron's Way.
Once and Again.

Seinfeld ran its course - trust me. By the last few seasons, it was hit-or-miss funny. The earlier episodes are still great, but the later ones - meh.

Seinfeld ran for at least 7 seasons didn't it? I'd hardly call that premature

My-Immortal · Jun 22, 2008

Definitely, Firefly!

Boomtown. I will be bitter about this one till the day I die. Possibly even after.

Chaos--Now and Again... was that the show about the guy? And the woman? You know who I mean? I liked that show. They were running away at the end. I still wonder if they made it...

Toothpaste · Jun 22, 2008

Studio 60. It wasn't nearly as good as The West Wing, and had some major problems. But they really needed a second season to get into the groove. It was still ten times better written than most of the stuff on tv.

Shady Lane · Jun 22, 2008

Seinfeld had run its course. And, coming from, honestly, THE MOST HARDCORE of Boy Meets World fans...it was time.

My So-Called Life is just the archetypical show that was canceled prematurely. It was so frickin brilliant. **goes to cry and watch her DVDs**

Gynn · Jun 22, 2008

Twin Peaks =(

But come on, you didn't want to see little Chubaka and Plankton?

Tremors had a series? I love the first film. Never knew there was a series though! How long did it last? Must have been on the sci fi channel.

Space: Above and Beyond. oorah.

Just working my way through all the episodes now.

donroc · Jun 22, 2008

Any Steve Allen show.

The Lone Gunmen was my choice, too.

I thought it was hugely entertaining.
