"Blakes 7" 
In these days of remaking things that don't need to be remade, why not try remaking something that is crying out for a glizty, star studded remake ffs! | |||
| |||
"Another one for us was the series Flash Forward." Oooh yep.. I was really getting into that before it disappeared. | |||
| |||

"Swingtown. Was swinging ever really like that? "Swingtown was getting into really interesting storylines too. | |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
| |||
"The Booth At The End. Sublime and brilliantly written. It was all set at one booth in a diner where people asked for favours from the devil and he gave them tasks to complete." I liked that one too. | |||
| |||
"Supposedly The Following isn't coming back for a fourth season. One of the few TV shows I really watched and the third season ended in such an interesting way as well! Annoying "Dammit! I wish I had known this yesterday, caught the first episode and thought it looked promising :-/ | |||
"Lie To Me" I loved that show. | |||
| |||
"I believe firefly was cancelled because the creator / writer Joss Whedon fell out with sponsors because he would not continue buffy the vampire slayer so they cancelled firefly on him. However he has made a success on the marvel movies, good for him. I'm full of useless information "Actually I think it got really low _iewings because it was poorly advertised, it's gained fame since cancellation and has a cult following now. I'm putting pushing daisies forward, was a brilliant show. | |||
| |||
"Prison break" It's coming back next year. | |||
| |||
"Swingtown. Was swinging ever really like that?
Swingtown was getting into really interesting storylines too. "I know, I was really getting into it. Damn those puritanical yanks! | |||
"Torchwood until the joint American British story" Stalker was good but canned after series 1 and left it with a cliffhanger. I really enjoyed the tomorrow people. | |||
 | |||
"It's a Knockout.... and Jeux Sans Frontières.... "
Also benny hill..Their knickers in a twist brigade do real feminists no favours. | |||
"Deadwood." I'm a little surprised/disappointed no one else mentioned this. | |||
"Deadwood. I'm a little surprised/disappointed no one else mentioned this." I didn't watch it but I think it has appeared on a couple of 'cancelled shows _iewers would like to see back' lists. Perhaps I should watch it. | |||

"Farscape Laid (bet no one has heard of that one!)" i loved that it war an australian show | |||

"Inbetweeners in the flesh porridge fawlty towers. All made far to few episodes. " I find a lot of BBC shows have a short number of episodes. Each series of Allo Allo only had about 8-10 episodes I think and the Vicar of Dibley was even less. I don't know why they don't make more when the show is popular. | |||

I'm putting pushing daisies forward, was a brilliant show. "Buffy was cancelled by fox the recommissioned for a separate channel, until that too was pulled. Joss whedon still writes buffy now and its released in graphic novel form, they're now on 'series'10. Firefly was pulled because the execs 'couldn't see where it was going' and thought it was too confused, the final episodes weren't even transmitted. However serenity rounds it off nicely and gave joss his break into films | |||

"Angel Lie to me Heroes By any means Flash forward Life - was cancelled Agree with all of these. Lie to me especially annoying as another TV company wanted to take it over but the originals wouldn't let them!! " Shame that Life was cancelled as it always had great re_iews, was well written and Damien Lewis was brilliant in it. Thankfully in the two seasons it ran for the main theme of the show was properly resolved. | |||

"Is it worth pointing out that some of these (breaking bad, battlestar to name two) weren't cancelled and ran to conclusion? US networks are ruthless,waiting for Person of Interest to go and Human Target if it hasn't already. Ripper Street was another I loved but thankfully it's been resurrected "Some of the series ran to conclusion simply because they were cancelled before the final season was created and so were able to round off the story arcs. This was the case with battlestar, dexter, and many notable others | |||

This was the case with battlestar, dexter, and many notable others"Angel was another one of note but I can understand that as after they got wolfram and heart it went downhill. I liked the ending of Dexter I thought the ending was intentional as the only other ways to finish it were with his death or arrest. | |||

I thought Human Target was long gone? I thought only 2 series were made of that? | |||

"Spaced " I agree with spaced... The IT crowd too | |||

"Whitechapel." I loved that. And they left it on a cliffhanger. Bastards! | |||
"Recently Atlantis and Forever have joined my list of quite a few. Last Resort is on the list, as are Firefly, Dollhouse, Believe and Moonlight. I'd have loved more of The Finder, although I understand why it was cancelled." Blake's 7 and Survivors (the updated BBC version). | |||
