The answer to this thread is, and always will be, Jericho. Name another show that so many people complained and petitioned to the network after they cancelled after S1 that they actually made an S2?

NUTS


Two other shows I enjoyed that were cancelled:

Secrets and Lies (with Ryan Phillipe and Juliette Lewis)

My Worst Enemy (with Christian Slater)

It wasn't the best show ever, but I would have liked to have seen more Raised by Wolves.

Very good one. He had a hot roommate. Genuinely funny.

I'll echo Rome which was "rushed."

What about he horse racing show with Dustin Hoffman? Cancelled after one season because too many horses were getting hurt. That bummed me out at the time, I guess I was enjoying it then.

House of Cards was cut short for obvious reasons. It had already peaked, but with Spacey gone there was just nothing left.

Working with Fred Savage was great:



It had Dana Gould, Steve Hytner (Bania on Seinfeld), and Debi Mazar too.

Arden Myrin was hot too:

So many good things going for this show, the acting, the show adhering the spirit of the Terminator universe, the hard sci-fi elements, great production.

They just could not attract and retain an audience. Hard to believe.

Someone should be in prison for renewing Girls over Hello Ladies.

I think it's a shame The Acolyte and Halo got canceled.
I'd add HBO's Warrior to that list. They were just getting started

Rubicon was one of the 1st things I watched when I got AMC on Prime for close to nothing. Really good, but definitely could have gone on. Several great characters in the series. Never learned enough about most of them.

Not a real 2nd season though.

Season 1 was 22 episodes. After the Writer's strike was over they brought it back, and ended it in eight episodes.

Terra Nova.

It had the ratings to be renewed but production costs for insanely high for a show that wasn't considered an anchor (i.e Friends/Seinfeld/Lost). It would've been saved by one of the streaming companies if it came around post-Covid. I believe The Expanse was able to continue for a season or two by going that route.

It's been awhile since I read them, but I don't remember hating any of them.

Just started reading them all again.
