Tv shows that ended too soon

By (user no longer on site) OP over a year ago

With the news of the x files returning which arguably went on too long on its original run. I wondered what people thought didn't get a fair chance before it got cancelled. Anything other than Firefly please because that's too obvious. My entries would be Touch and V.

So many american series try to wring 100 episodes out of pap but shy away from programmes that are a little bit more edgy. Alphas, battlestar Galactica, reaper, dollhouse... I'd also add in buffy even though it ran for 7 seasons it finished before its time

Look on the website geek town, it will fill you in on most things like that and it also has rumours which IMDb doesn't.

I think some series run their course and the writers start stretching, at that point it becomes obvious it should end but sometimes the networks just pull the funding to pay the kardashians more money or to fund the next series of I'm an idiot get me on tv

"The Prisoner" by Patrick McGoohan

Decades ahead of it's time and a startlingly brilliant and intelligent allegory of the human condition that has undoubtedly shaped my whole life...

It's still the only series that I completely understand instinctively...

Just 17 episodes from the 1960's that changed life as we knew it...

NYPD Blue was a seminal series, and though it did run for several seasons (probably more than I think) I'd happily watch it now.

Dennis Franz as Andy Sipowicz was just such a great character and each episode the stories were slick and really well crafted. Other series have emulated it but this one was the best.

" the corner was the precursor to the wire based on real people. It was a nice touch to see the real people meet their characters at the end

And who would have guessed that Omar would become a gay icon?

I've not seen it yet but my mate was on about it. Sounds good.

Omar was a really good character.

Liked that bit where he's shopping for a court suit.

Didn't like how his story ended though. Thought that was a bit cheap.

Had expected Omar to go out with a real Bang. The same with Stringer Bell

Yeah me too.

That girl who hangs out with Chris, I thought she was a he. Looks so like a dude."

What was her name, scoot? Scoop? She was a genuine gang banger brought in off the street for that role. Story is that she is still living the life.

She was? I know she's got a criminal record for something.

Might watch the extras on the dvds actually.

I agree with owl Farscape finished way to early and strangely.They had to make a film of it to explain the ending because it finished so weirdly.

Other than Firefly?

Would go for

John Doe (brilliant first series)

Jake 2.0 (cancelled for low ratings, but it was pretty fun in a geeky way)

The Tripods (though you can read the books)

The Borgias (though you can read the history)

Defiantly The Event, never even found out what happened, it just ended mid way

Also, there was a series about a surgeon who was effectively jeckl and Hyde but was developing a drug to stop himself turning into the bad guy and again it just stopped

A few people have already mentioned them but I definitely think Flash Forward, Alcatraz and Spartacus were great series and they were all stopped far too soon.

I also love friends and think it was sad that it ended, I still watch old episodes now and it never bores me!

Firefly was a Sci-fi series with wild west overtones. Good stories, great characters, fantastic scripts vs incompetent network and erratic scheduling. It lasted only half its first season before the dvd box set went on to become one of the best-selling that year.

It won't be everyone's cup of tea but it excels at what it does.

There is a saying always leave the audience wanting more.

Fawlty Towers Two series

Blackbooks Four series

Blackadder Four complete series

These probably left us a little frustrated as for me these no weakness, no bad episode, just brilliant or total, total genius.

"There are a couple of series that we used to watch that ended too soon.....

Star Trek Enterprise...

Stargazer Universe. ...

And one called Hex, which just finished halfway through the second series. .

Cal"

I remember Hex and did wonder where it went...but other than firefly I think most had run their natural course...
