Damn You, FoxAs I mentioned before, we were given the gift of Netflix. One of the things we wanted to do was catch some of the old TV shows that we never saw all the way through from the beginning. We only saw one episode of Wonderfalls back when it was on Fox and unjustly cancelled (like pretty much every good Fox television show -- Arrested Development, anyone?), so we decided to get the complete series from there (three disks). The show is absolutely hilarious and is one of the best shows I've seen (we just finished watching the last disc). I honestly feel sorry for shows that go to Fox Network, as it basically where good shows go to die. Now we need to get through Firefly and Dead Like Me at some point. Both of those shows were cancelled to early as well -- the former another Fox disaster, the latter on Showtime (we got hooked on Dead Like Me when we saw it now and again on Sci Fi Channel). Firefly I've never actually seen, but people who know my taste in TV tell me I'd love it. So tell me, what are your favorite shows that didn't make it? Posted by Jake on 01/21/08 @ 10:46 PM

It also was created by Bryan Fuller. After I finished Wonderfalls (I had only seen the four that had aired), I rented the first two discs of DLE and then promptly went to Amazon and ordered both box sets because I knew I'd want them. Check out the two seasons of Carnivale at some point. I watched those for the first time right before I did Wonderfalls. Nathan said on 01/22/08 @ 07:35 AM: Jericho was an amazing post-apocalyptic series that was cancelled last May. But now I'm reading that it's been revived. Yay! Brandon said on 01/22/08 @ 07:47 AM: I was a big fan of Joan of Arcadia. I also liked Baby Bob, but I was fairly young at that point, so who knows if it was even a good show. Dickey45 said on 01/22/08 @ 10:56 AM: Another post-apocalyptic is Jeremiah - showtime? cancelled early. Available on DVD or watch it now on netflix. We watched about 28 episodes in 2 weeks over break. Bad us. We also caught Commander in Chief and then Firefly. Redmond-ite said on 01/22/08 @ 06:46 PM: A by-product of the writers' strike is the networks bringing back shows they had previously deemed unworthy... not sure it's a good thing... Snorii said on 01/23/08 @ 05:51 AM: Firefly is the only one I can think of. dickey45 said on 01/23/08 @ 06:39 AM: Oops, thought you had said you were going to watch firefly. It IS a must see. Snorii said on 01/23/08 @ 12:04 PM: I thought of another one today, Roar starring the late Heath Ledger. I enjoyed the few episodes I saw. b!X said on 01/23/08 @ 11:30 PM: Also, The Education of Max Bickford, one of the best humanist TV series ever. Of course, it isn't available on DVD. I second the motion regarding Joan of Arcadia, which includes possibly the best-written teenagers ever in an American TV series. (It was cancelled and replaced by Ghost Whisperer.) Post a comment |
