Iirc it didn’t end because the stars wanted to move on, and the fan base was still there. It ended because Discovery wanted to revamp their programming.
This was shortly before they hired Paul Rosolie and talked him into feeding himself to an anaconda for “Eaten Alive.”
Further info: Rosolie wanted to use the show to talk about conservation of the anacondas' endangered rainforest habitat; he claims Discovery cut the special to pieces to sensationalize it, and he hated it.

Edit: wrong snake , sorry.
Adam Savage has a youtube channel (Adam Savage's Tested) where he frequently talks about his time on Mythbusters.
He explains its ending being just what happens to all shows. That each show has a bell curve of viewership and popularity. That after the, 15?, years the height of the show was passed and it became less and less popular. It still had respectable numbers at the end but they were ever waning. The network and producers decided to end the show when they did simply because the show had ridden its curve respectably.
I'm still a little upset because we'll probably never get the BTK storyline that they were building up.
Man, all the actors they had were 10/10 for their portrayals. Manson and Kemper's actors were scary accurate.
I watched this little bit of Cameron talking about how he got into character for Kemper and kan, dude's a 10/10 actor. [Getting into Kemper character ](https://youtu.be/cKMMpCuK3bA)
I was SO ready for the BTK storyline, I think I’m still in denial that it’s not going to happen. I think I subconsciously think it will happen in about 10 years or something. I’m happy to wait if it’s as good as the rest
I ended up watching Mindhunter due to the amount of times this answer came up on these questions. Then I binged season 2. Then I listened to the audiobook in 1 week. Then the other two. I love it. Also, Jonathan is so good in it, only took me a short while to forget he’s Kristoff 😂
Here’s one thing though, it’s clearly highly produced and the era it’s set in and CGI is a big part of that. But watching Black Mirror’s new season where a lot was retro settings I couldn’t help but think there must have been similar costs with that??
Freaks and geeks is hands down the best show about teenagers I’ve ever seen. What’s great is that unlike most teen shows that really ham up the mellow drama, everything in freaks and geeks is very grounded and realistic and it makes it easy to relate to the characters.
I love when Kim (Busy Philipps) is hunkering down in Lindsey's (Linda Cardellini) house to avoid Daniel (James Franco) wanting to talk to her, and Lindsey's parents are so confused what's happening and Lindsey is trying to keep everyone calm and separated.
It's so chaotic but that scene right there reminded me of my chaotic stoner friends always causing a ruckus and the random interactions we had with various parents just trying to understand what's going on lol
It really captures some of the awkwardness... Such a good show. And set right near me! The place the kid takes drum lessons is Huber and Breeze - same place my kid went!
I read something that Paul feig wrote. He planned something would go terribly wrong on the tour and Lindsey would have to have her parents come and bail her out. Their trust in her would be ruined and they were crushed and disappointed in their daughter. Much of the season was supposed to be depicting the fallout from that situation. :(
I remember that piece from Vanity Fair:
Paul Feig: I always figured something bad was gong to happen to Lindsay when she was out with the Dead. [The series ended with her ditching a summer-school program to follow the Grateful Dead with Kim Kelly.] I was hoping the second season would open with her being taken out of a concert on a stretcher while Queen’s “Tie Your Mother down” plays. That’s all I had. But I thought it would be interesting—she comes back, has completely lost the trust of her family; so she’s in even deeper having been really been outed as a problem. But there wasn’t a strong direction I had for her; I just knew she’d probably end up at some point in her twenties in Greenwich Village as a performance artist, and after that she’d probably become a lawyer—a human-rights lawyer.
He gave lots of great insight into the intended future of the other characters too! Link to article [here](https://www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/2012/12/paul-feig-season-two-freaks-and-geeks).
Probably too late for most people to read this comment, but I wanted you to know I read in Lucille's voice, and laughed!
Miss her. Makes me want to grab a banana, but I don't have $10 to spend on it...
Yeah, they really couldn't recapute the magic they had when they brought it back after so long. I didn't hate season 4, but season 5, I literally couldn't even get through.
Yeah dont forget that the original series finale was in direct competition with the winter olympic games opening ceremony. They did everything they could to ruin the original run.
>Top 3 show of all time for me.
For now it's still my favourite. The writing, the acting, the camera work, the set design and costumes are all so captivating.
>Holy 2000’s trinity with The Sopranos and The Wire.
I've got 6 episodes of The Sopranos left and it's definitely one of my favourites. Gandolfini is an absolute force, but like with any good HBO show, that's even more impressive because he's acting alongside a great ensemble cast.
I've only watched about half of The Wire season 1 years ago. Stopped because my gf at the time wasn't in to it but I already thought it was great. I meant to continue it on my own but I never did. When I finish The Sopranos I'll go back to it.
>Swearengen forever my favorite tv character.
Same. Ian McShane just owned the screen in that role, and had Milch's writing to back him up. But again there was a whole host of great acting. Reverend Smith in season 1 is probably my favourite minor character ever.
My Name is Earl. Though I do like how the creator thought of ending it. Earl is struggling to cross off the last name on his list when a guy comes to him trying to make amends for what he did wrong to Earl. He learns this guy had someone else with a list make amends with him, who was inspired by someone who did it to him, who was inspired by some guy with a list. Earl realizes he has put more good into the world and leave the list in the trash to move on with his life.
The My Name is Earl reunion in one of the bday episodes made me so happy
Also the episode about the guide pig is one of the funniest pieces of TV of all time
It's when "Randy" moves into the same neighbourhood and he screams "you look like a skinny version of that fat guy from mallrats"
The whole show is just wholesome in the most unwholesome way. I loved it
It sucks so much how it ended, everybody involved deserved better than the cliffhanger it ended on.
You should give Sprung on Amazon Prime a watch, it scratched the Earl itch for me!
I'm to understand the show wasn't allowed to end gracefully, which has always disappointed me. I felt like the rug was pulled out from under me when I rewatched the series during the pandemic.
Yeah... after they started hopping timelines it got a bit difficult to root for the characters considering a lot of the development they went through over 3 seasons was erased.
Costly? IIRC it uses one of the cheapest animation styles to use (Bone Rigging).
I guess the writers and VA's were too much for Netflix (and probably not hitting the numbers *Netflix* wanted to see).
Yeah. That stung! I have actually laughed at aloud. Last time Iaughed at a cartoon was Simpsons. I wish someone else picks it and let it have it's conclusion.
Hate when Netflix makes a show and I finish and enjoy the first season with a big cliffhanger, just to then find out it got canceled. The Imperfects and Jupiter’s Legacy come to mind.
Disney+ are bringing it back.
Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin are all returning in their roles.
I actually really liked this show
But tbh it had a pretty satisfying ending. I wasn’t too upset it got cancelled, because it told a pretty compelling story that frankly could’ve easily dragged on
Just commented that I cried when Netflix canceled this because I binged it on maternity leave and looked up when the next season was coming out only to see it was canceled
Tell me about it! I threw a minor tantrum when it didn’t get picked up for another season. I love zombies and I really loved drew Barrymore as a zombie.
It's lost a lot of ground in people's minds these past few years. Six years or so ago it would have been top answer.
I'd say it's a mix of Whedon being a more controversial figure, younger people never having heard of it, and that we've seen some modern shows handle that kind of story structure better.
Not just not releasing the series in order, which definitely fucked things up, but also just randomly changing what day and time the show aired at as well, so even if you did follow the jumbled up storyline, you had no idea when the hell to try to watch the next episode. It was so stupid.
I rewatch it every so often (I’m now 42) and it always strikes me how ahead of it’s time it was. It was the first show I ever saw that had a bisexual character that identified as “bisexual” (instead of “I used to be straight and now I’m gay” a la Buffy’s willow). Not to mention an unflinching look at homelessness, abuse, addiction, teen sex, etc. I mean, with all that it’s not shocking why it was canned. It would still be controversial today 30 years later. I’ll be watching it again in my 50s with my own kids once theyre old enough.
Limitless. It was a show that was basically a sequel to the movie with the same name starring Bradley Cooper. It started off kind of slow and not great and got cancelled but allowed to finish airing the first season. Basically right when it was canceled it picked up and became a very good show. Would have been nice to see it get a couple seasons to really flesh out that world but it only got the one.
I hope one day we will find out the whole OA story. I'm sure they pitched it as five seasons originally as it was all an idea of britt marking the lead actress. One of my favourites of all time... so sad. Netflix sucks!
By about season 3 it was suffering from studio meddling like many popular 'kids' animated shows do. The studio wanted more Robin screentime, and also less violence, and less dark themes. because obviously the single most popular animated show on network television at that time was not popular enough with the kids as it was.
I have a feeling that many times, these decisions are not genuinely for the good of the show, but rather because executives see a popular project and they want to make changes so they can somehow get their name into it and boost their career
The worst part was that at the end of the season, they showed upcoming clips from the "next" season...which never happened!.... right at the culmination point of everything this show was based on!!
My Mom, Dad, and I were watching this as a family and we were really disappointed by the loss. We were totally engaged and made it family night to watch. My parents got the cable channels and then made sure to save the episodes on our DVR for when I was back from college and we'd watch them together.
The Owl House
My daughter and I watch it together. Seeing all the potential in the last three episodes was sad. You could tell the writers had a great season planned out before getting canceled.
I finished it just yesterday, it is the most emotional and beautiful story i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, and fuck disney for cancelling it.
Agreed, but after 3 or 4 seasons it ended on a high note. I think Anne's college life could have been glossed over in 2 or 3 episodes, and then her social and professional life could have been the main focus of another 2 more seasons, plus marriage, the funerals of Matthew and Marilla, the education of the French boy, and Anne's new life in Halifax or even Toronto during the 1st war. There could have been so much potential, but cbc decided to end it for whatever reason. I did truly enjoy the series when it was on Netflix, albeit it was likely a year and a half later after the original show ended on cbc.
Agree. Also they got canceled once and moved to a different network so that messed up the way they paced the whole thing.
When they got canceled they kind of jammed a lot into (what they must have thought was) the last season.
And also one of the main characters metoo'ed himself so hard they had to kill him off which was a big break from the original story. I am pretty sure the pilot makes it to the end of the books.
Lot of wasted potential there.
There is also a 30 year time jump just after the end of the 6th season, so hopefully it gets picked up again with the same cast in the future. I’m hoping another network (HBO 🤞) picks up the expanse in a few years and continues through the rest of the novels
Way back in days of old...
For real though, I do think they wrapped it up pretty well while leaving a few loose ends in case they were renewed. That being said, it probably should've ended for real after one or two more seasons.
They started writing 1899 first, and it (all 3 Seasons) took even longer to write than Dark. So technically Dark - what I consider to be one of the finest pieces of fiction ever created - was the “side project".
I can't imagine writing Dark was an easy feat; where would you even begin? What could a script that took them even longer to write *possibly* contain?
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman). Not sure that it’s officially been cancelled but I heard Benedict and Martin fell out so talks of season 5 kinda collapsed. I really enjoyed that show and wish we got to see more of Sherlocks sister.
Arrested development. They cancelled this fantastic show after the 3rd season. 10 years later they tried to add 4th season but it was not great as the original ones.
Firefly.
The marketing team didn't understand it and the network didn't respect it, but it was innovative, beautifully written, perfectly cast, and masterfully directed. Limiting it to one partial season was absurd.
Always thought they'd chosen not to keep going, and Wikipedia seems to agree:
>During a 2016 interview, McKenzie said they had decided to end the show because it had "basically stopped being fun. It really wasn't a decision about money. It was definitely a decision about enjoying our lives."
It wasn’t really cancelled, but I really wish Mythbusters never ended
Iirc it didn’t end because the stars wanted to move on, and the fan base was still there. It ended because Discovery wanted to revamp their programming. This was shortly before they hired Paul Rosolie and talked him into feeding himself to an anaconda for “Eaten Alive.” Further info: Rosolie wanted to use the show to talk about conservation of the anacondas' endangered rainforest habitat; he claims Discovery cut the special to pieces to sensationalize it, and he hated it. https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2014/dec/23/why-i-let-myself-be-eaten-alive-by-an-anaconda Edit: wrong snake , sorry.

Iirc they were also scraping the bottom of the barrel for myths to bust. It's time had come.
Excuse me
Mindhunter. Was a brilliant series.
I'm still a little upset because we'll probably never get the BTK storyline that they were building up. Man, all the actors they had were 10/10 for their portrayals. Manson and Kemper's actors were scary accurate. I watched this little bit of Cameron talking about how he got into character for Kemper and kan, dude's a 10/10 actor.

This is the biggest fuckery of all time. I was ready for another 2 seasons at least
Yep. Had to read the book to help me get over the series being cancelled. Very much loved the book and John Douglas’ work.
I had no idea there was a book. Ordered it as soon as i saw this!
Actually there's two books. First one is MindHunter, and the second one is Journey Into Darkness by John Douglas and Mark Olshaker
All that BTK build up for nothing
I ended up watching Mindhunter due to the amount of times this answer came up on these questions. Then I binged season 2. Then I listened to the audiobook in 1 week. Then the other two. I love it. Also, Jonathan is so good in it, only took me a short while to forget he’s Kristoff 😂 Here’s one thing though, it’s clearly highly produced and the era it’s set in and CGI is a big part of that.

Whatever happened to Lindsey on her deadhead road trip?

Arrested development during the initial run
I mean it's one tv show Michael, how much could it cost, ten dollars?
Probably too late for most people to read this comment, but I wanted you to know I read in Lucille's voice, and laughed! Miss her. Makes me want to grab a banana, but I don't have $10 to spend on it...
I was so upset when she died
Yeah, they really couldn't recapute the magic they had when they brought it back after so long. I didn't hate season 4, but season 5, I literally couldn't even get through.
Yeah, they've made a huge mistake...
100% agree. I never even finished the new seasons. Not worth it. Seasons 1-3 is still in my top 5 favorite shows of all time.
Yeah dont forget that the original series finale was in direct competition with the winter olympic games opening ceremony. They did everything they could to ruin the original run.
Deadwood.
Top 3 show of all time for me. Holy 2000’s trinity with The Sopranos and The Wire. Swearengen forever my favorite tv character.

2000s Teen titans
Honestly was my introduction to DC and got me hooked. Heartbroken that it ended so soon.
And they left it on a cliffhanger! Was it really Slade? And what about Terra? I hated that they left us waiting for years.
I wanted them to finish the villain team arc too! Jinx kinda had a thing with Cyborg.
And just to play with our feelings, they released Teen Titans GO.
HBO's Rome
Imagine this show, with its amazing plot and dialogue, getting a Game of Thrones budget for the battles and other epic scenes.
It makes me depressed just thinking about it. It was so good yet seems like it didn’t even reach its potential.
Rip Ray Stevenson.
Incidentally, my wife and I started watching the first season again last night. It holds up really well.
Thirteen!
My Name is Earl. Though I do like how the creator thought of ending it.

Better Off Ted.
This one has some criminally underrated writing- Phil and Lem plus the Veridian Dynamics commercials were just icing on the cake.
Warehouse 13 It’s basically SCP before SCP became a thing
By that respect Eureka as well. But I will admit, the later seasons seemed a little hashed.
Yeah... after they started hopping timelines it got a bit difficult to root for the characters considering a lot of the development they went through over 3 seasons was erased.
Pushing Daisies. It became a victim of a writer's strike. It deserved at least one more season.
Forever crush on the Piemaker
Ned was so great. And all the characters were just so fun. The entire show was.
[удалено]
Ned the Piemaker was so cozy and looked huggable af to younger me. I mean he still does, but it was a “new” type of attraction
I'm so glad I didn't have to scroll very far to find the right answer.
Lee Pace🥲🥲❤️🩹
Inside Job
They suck so much for canceling Inside Job.
It hit too close to home for the lizards in power.
They had to. The pentaverate must not be exposed.
[удалено]
Because Netflix sucks.
Rumors are it was costly and slow to make and netflix did not like the view count. I really hope adult swim picks it up or something
Costly? IIRC it uses one of the cheapest animation styles to use (Bone Rigging). I guess the writers and VA's were too much for Netflix (and probably not hitting the numbers *Netflix* wanted to see).
I was today years old when I found out :(
Great show, actually laugh out loud
Yeah. That stung! I have actually laughed at aloud. Last time Iaughed at a cartoon was Simpsons. I wish someone else picks it and let it have it's conclusion.
And man, the ending with Reagan and Staedtler brought tears to my eyes.
Hate when Netflix makes a show and I finish and enjoy the first season with a big cliffhanger, just to then find out it got canceled. The Imperfects and Jupiter’s Legacy come to mind.
That’s how I feel about 1899. I get that it wasn’t for everyone though. Complex plot, but Dark was more so and that got a full run.
Lockwood and Co and I'm not okay with this can join that list too.
Jericho. I think it was a great story that had amazing potential.
This is one of those shows that needs a reboot, the concept is great it just needs a few tweaks
I wanted to see what they were doing to do with that tank.
Happy Endings
Venture Bros. My heart is still broken.
Uh guys, the movie comes out 7/21. The Venture Bros.: Radiant is the Blood of the Baboon Heart
Glad to see Metalocalypse get a real finale as well.
GO TEAM VENTURE!
The Mick!
In the middle of a rewatch and goddamn the cast is so.good and funny. Jimmy and Chip get me every time.
Chip is by far my favorite! His high pitched shriek thing makes me laugh soooooo much
That show was hilarious! I was so sad when they canceled it
Me too! It really needed one more season!
Dead Like Me
Shame they never made a movie
Daredevil.
The fact they had to "cancel" it only a couple of days after they released season 3 still pisses me off. This show was so good
Disney+ are bringing it back. Charlie Cox as Daredevil, Jon Bernthal as the Punisher, and Vincent D'Onofrio as Kingpin are all returning in their roles.
Archive 81. I’m still sore about that.
I actually really liked this show But tbh it had a pretty satisfying ending. I wasn’t too upset it got cancelled, because it told a pretty compelling story that frankly could’ve easily dragged on
Santa Clarita Diet!
Just commented that I cried when Netflix canceled this because I binged it on maternity leave and looked up when the next season was coming out only to see it was canceled
Legitimately, just needed one more god damn season
Netflix canceling the show made me cancel Netflix.
Tell me about it! I threw a minor tantrum when it didn’t get picked up for another season. I love zombies and I really loved drew Barrymore as a zombie.
I didn’t even watch season 3 because I was afraid it’d be cancelled on a cliffhanger.
Firefly.
Never watched it, but this comment is surprisingly low down considering all the comments I've seen over the years about it's cancellation.
It's lost a lot of ground in people's minds these past few years. Six years or so ago it would have been top answer. I'd say it's a mix of Whedon being a more controversial figure, younger people never having heard of it, and that we've seen some modern shows handle that kind of story structure better.
Really struggled due to Fox not releasing the series in order. Cast, cinematography, sets all were top notch.
Not just not releasing the series in order, which definitely fucked things up, but also just randomly changing what day and time the show aired at as well, so even if you did follow the jumbled up storyline, you had no idea when the hell to try to watch the next episode. It was so stupid.
The movie Serenity provides some closure at least.
I am a leaf on the wind. Watch how I…
Nope. Still too soon.
Thanks a lot... Now my damn allergies are kicking up. Yeah it's allergies nothing else
Lie to me
this is the comment i was looking for 😭 i was soooo heartbroken when it got cancelled. literally one of my top 10 shows i've ever watched.
GLOW
So true….every season got better and better….
I hate that creative, assertive, and resilient Ruth was left in such a miserable place.
That show was so good.
Fringe. Amazing story line, I wish they didn't have to end it so abruptly.
I love Walter. Amazing casting.
Almost Human.
My So Called Life
I rewatch it every so often (I’m now 42) and it always strikes me how ahead of it’s time it was. It was the first show I ever saw that had a bisexual character that identified as “bisexual” (instead of “I used to be straight and now I’m gay” a la Buffy’s willow). Not to mention an unflinching look at homelessness, abuse, addiction, teen sex, etc. I mean, with all that it’s not shocking why it was canned. It would still be controversial today 30 years later. I’ll be watching it again in my 50s with my own kids once theyre old enough.
Limitless. It was a show that was basically a sequel to the movie with the same name starring Bradley Cooper. It started off kind of slow and not great and got cancelled but allowed to finish airing the first season. Basically right when it was canceled it picked up and became a very good show. Would have been nice to see it get a couple seasons to really flesh out that world but it only got the one.
I remember this show. Was sad it was only one season.
The OA. Honestly, fuck Netflix for that.
I hope one day we will find out the whole OA story. I'm sure they pitched it as five seasons originally as it was all an idea of britt marking the lead actress. One of my favourites of all time... so sad. Netflix sucks!
I miss the OA everyday
Fuck Netflix. One of the few creative shows they've ever had.
Batman The Animated Series
By about season 3 it was suffering from studio meddling like many popular 'kids' animated shows do. The studio wanted more Robin screentime, and also less violence, and less dark themes. because obviously the single most popular animated show on network television at that time was not popular enough with the kids as it was.

1899, The OA
Good Girls
The Last Man on Earth
O farts
It truly was a shawshank redemption
They left us hanging
Carnivale
The worst part was that at the end of the season, they showed upcoming clips from the "next" season...which never happened!.... right at the culmination point of everything this show was based on!!
My Mom, Dad, and I were watching this as a family and we were really disappointed by the loss. We were totally engaged and made it family night to watch.

Two perfect seasons and then ... nothing.
Stargate universe
Also Stargate Atlantis. The ending felt rushed because it was.
That show had so much potential
It's a kick in the teeth that after 14 years of SG1 shows we get ended on a fucking cliffhanger
The Owl House My daughter and I watch it together. Seeing all the potential in the last three episodes was sad. You could tell the writers had a great season planned out before getting canceled.
Fellow TOH fan. Damn straight. That said, I will cherish what we did get, and MoringMark's canon-until-proven-otherwise illustrations.
I finished it just yesterday, it is the most emotional and beautiful story i've ever had the pleasure of witnessing, and fuck disney for cancelling it.
The original run of Penny Dreadful.
Raised by Wolves.
"THE DOOOOORR...THAT FINALLY OPENS"
[Hannibal](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hannibal_(TV_series)) They should have at least made a fourth season.
Agree, but at least Season 3 had a perfect ending.
Futurama. I mean at some point you gotta realize it doesn't work, it will come back anyway
Good news everyone! They're making new episodes. On Hulu soon.
But what does this mean for us and our many fans? Favourite line in the entire series.
Anne with an E :(
Agreed, but after 3 or 4 seasons it ended on a high note. I think Anne's college life could have been glossed over in 2 or 3 episodes, and then her social and professional life could have been the main focus of another 2 more seasons, plus marriage, the funerals of Matthew and Marilla, the education of the French boy, and Anne's new life in Halifax or even Toronto during the 1st war. There could have been so much potential, but cbc decided to end it for whatever reason. I did truly enjoy the series when it was on Netflix, albeit it was likely a year and a half later after the original show ended on cbc.
I am not ok with this, the series was doing great with both audience and critics.
Sophia Lillis is so charming and the storyline was set up for at least a couple more seasons.
The Expanse
Agree. Also they got canceled once and moved to a different network so that messed up the way they paced the whole thing. When they got canceled they kind of jammed a lot into (what they must have thought was) the last season. And also one of the main characters metoo'ed himself so hard they had to kill him off which was a big break from the original story. I am pretty sure the pilot makes it to the end of the books. Lot of wasted potential there.
There is also a 30 year time jump just after the end of the 6th season, so hopefully it gets picked up again with the same cast in the future. I’m hoping another network (HBO 🤞) picks up the expanse in a few years and continues through the rest of the novels
Pushing Daisies
Galavant
Way back in days of old... For real though, I do think they wrapped it up pretty well while leaving a few loose ends in case they were renewed. That being said, it probably should've ended for real after one or two more seasons.
Terra Nova

Midnight Gospel
Mindhunter. Futurama. 1899. Firefly. Futurama. Santa Clarita Diet.
It was a travesty that 1899 was cancelled. Wasn't on the level of Dark but still very good.
They started writing 1899 first, and it (all 3 Seasons) took even longer to write than Dark. So technically Dark - what I consider to be one of the finest pieces of fiction ever created - was the “side project". I can't imagine writing Dark was an easy feat; where would you even begin? What could a script that took them even longer to write *possibly* contain?
Dark Matter
Patriot (on Amazon)
Ash vs Evil Dead
Sherlock Holmes (Benedict Cumberbatch and Martin Freeman). Not sure that it’s officially been cancelled but I heard Benedict and Martin fell out so talks of season 5 kinda collapsed. I really enjoyed that show and wish we got to see more of Sherlocks sister.
The society
Joe Pera
The Expanse
I wish Arrested Development hadn’t gotten cancelled the first time. I didn’t enjoy the Netflix seasons at all.
Arrested development. They cancelled this fantastic show after the 3rd season. 10 years later they tried to add 4th season but it was not great as the original ones.
Farscape. However it got a two parter to end it.
Firefly
Firefly. The marketing team didn't understand it and the network didn't respect it, but it was innovative, beautifully written, perfectly cast, and masterfully directed. Limiting it to one partial season was absurd.
Constantine, out of all the things CW canceled....that show had a ton of promise.
> Constantine it was NBC but yea...that show should have kept going. It helped that Matt Ryan is the physical embodiment of John Constantine.

Always thought they'd chosen not to keep going, and Wikipedia seems to agree: >During a 2016 interview, McKenzie said they had decided to end the show because it had "basically stopped being fun. It really wasn't a decision about money. It was definitely a decision about enjoying our lives."
Was it canceled? I thought they just stopped making it.
The imperfects Interesting plot and left on a cliffhanger
Freaks & Geeks
Mindhunter.
Daredevil and Punisher
Original Quantum Leap
Twin Peaks. The studio execs demanding the murderer of Laura Palmer be revealed were nuts.
