I miss Fastlane too.  It was quite a popular show.  They cancelled it because it was to expensove to make:  each episode cost about the price of a motion picture

Family GUy....but it was brought back.


The State
Freaks and Geeks
Soap
The Tick

maybe EERIE INDIANA,JAMES AT 15(OF COURSE WITH A NEW CAST)..THEN AGAIN MAYBE THE OLD CAST MADE IT WORK..

ok this is a topic for great shows that have been canceled.

for me my number one favorite show was and is futurama. fox canceled it fter 4 seasons aaaarrrgggg.
i still watch it on adult swim, but ofcourse they are all reruns.

HOW COULD THEY DO THIS TO ME?!?!
:\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'( :\'(


You know, despite Matt Groening being the man behind this show, I never quite got into it as much as The Simpsons...BUT I have to agree with you. :)

It was kinda themed like 2015 from BTTF II - an exaggerated and humorous year 3000. Being a fan of that kind of comedy really drew me to the earlier episodes, even if I rarely watched it after Season 1 or 2.

"That's Life", a drama that premiered on CBS five years ago today, and was canned after only 2 seasons. :-[ I kinda liked the storyline; it seemed kinda interesting to me, but I didn't get to watch it every week because I didn't have my own tv.

Wonderfalls
Dead Like Me
Tru Calling
Queer eye for the straight girl  ;D
The Hitchhiker
Tales from the Darkside

Forgot to add two more:

Early edition

Two Words: Do Over  8)

"Hack"

I forgot about Early Edition.  That was simply a wonderful show.  Kyle Chandler (who played Gary Hobson) is such a good actor :)

He is co-starring in the upcoming King Kong re-make :)

Wonderfalls
Dead Like Me


Seriously...another person that saw that show besides me? I miss it though what turned out to be the last epsisode, was a perfect one for the closer :)

One that many were sad over being canceled, "My So Called Life" It barely got through it's first season.

Another show that starred Kyle Chandler (that died before it's time IMO) was Homefront.  It was consistantly well done.

Definately Wonderfalls was a great show that should have had to have a second chance.

My So Called Life
My Wife and Kids
* Simple Rules (except it was better when John Ritter was alive)
MTV's The State (remember that comedy, I know Michael Ian Black has gone onto do things like I Love the shows on VH1 and he was on Ed)
Ed (speaking of which)
Life Goes On
My So Called Life

I thought "The Wayans Bros." was a Really Funny show and I really liked it. It lasted from 1995 untill 1999 then it was canceled  :P

Ed
Greg The Bunny
Dead Like Me
Angel
The Pretender
Freaks and Geeks

I remember Homefront.  I used to watch it on occasion.  He also co-starred on the unsuccessful Joan Cusack sitcom "What About Joan"

Greg The Bunny

Freaks and Geeks
Tales from the Crypt

Futurama
The Critic


nice choices

"VH1 What's My 20"

A countdown with videos selected from it's viewers and even shown videos after the show ...for a few airings

How could I forget about Freaks & Geeks?  That show was awesome.

I was upset about that as well >:(

I much prefer 'Futurama' to the Simpsons I gotta say.

I'd also add "Grounded For Life"

Firefly...

Profit

Only 4 or 5 episodes aired on Fox, but it just came out on DVD.

There was a pilot called "What's Allen Watching" with Corin Nemec that was brilliiant.  I've always
remembered it and can't imaging why it didn't fly.  Produced by Eddie Murphy, it was hilarious

      thankz criz. yeah simpsons may have been good in its early seasons but most of them are just loud and annoying. i duno how it lasted 10 seasons.    Futurama on the other hand.......

Wasn't he also in "Homefront"?  I really liked that too.  I just saw one of the actresses from that in something the other day, but I forget what.  Law & Order maybe?  She was playing a Medical Examiner.


The actress that played Mrs. Sloan (the rich byatch) went on to play Dharma's mother (the hippie) on Dharma and Greg.  It's such a polar opposite of the character she played on Homefront, it's awesome.

Also, Mr. Sloan, plays on the sitcom, Scrubs.  He's a sarcastic and grumpy Doctor on there.

now theres a poll on this page look at the top!!!!

The Simpsons hasn't been cancelled  ;)

  My Wife and Kids
  WonderFalls( they show the first and only season on cable)
  Angel
  Futurama
  Hack
  The District
 
 

I'm surprised anybody likes Futurama better than The Simpsons.
I watch "Futurama," but I think "The Simpsons" was both the greatest animated TV series and the greatest situation comedy in the history of television.
Simpsons also raised the standards for both cartoons and sit-coms.  If it was not for Simpsons, there would be no Family Guy.  Perhaps Seinfeld would not have been as funny if viewers hadn't come to expect more sophistacation from situation comedy.
I look at Night Court, which was one of the better '80s sit-coms and one of my faves at the time, and it's pretty much of a dud by today's standards.  Only a few pre-Simpsons sit-coms still make the grade, such as All In The Family, Taxi, and Cheers.
I also fell in love with Matt Groening's Life In Hell cartoon books the year before The Simpsons became its own series.  I remember laughing so hard I couldn't breathe while reading Work is Hell, and School is Hell!

I do say by 2003, although The Simpsons was still going strong, it had outlived its cultural paradigm.  What do I mean?  Well, I'd rather not launch into a lengthy pop cultural analysis...I mean, jeezus, there's enough of that already!

Among great shows that were cancelled:

Phil Donahue on MSNBC
Politically Incorrect with Bill Mahar

Even though the two shows are from Matt Groening, Simpsons is still far superior.

Agreed :)

8 Simple Rules

Well, ya know, when the lead dies...

Anyway.. I loved:

Andy Richter Controls The Universe
Titus
Boston Public (possibly my favorite show of all time.. damn fine drama.. although it stepped out tastefully before it got old.. they ran out of stuff, and they knew it.. I just wish there would have been a finale, rather then just a halt).

Sportsnight

I love all the shows you listed. especially Titus. I also agree Boston Public bowed out at the right time :)

Sportsnight
The show that's too good to be funny?  ::) ;D

"Boston Public" was a great show.  My cable company dropped the channel that was showing the reruns, but the episodes I saw were excellent.  It helped that Denis Leary was just another character and didn't get to take everything over with his big ego!

Hey, I liked that show!

Judging Amy

Providence

The Tick is good too....

SPOOOOOOOON!  ;D

'Toons:

Duckman (w/ Jason Alexander)
Oblongs (w/Will Ferrell)
Mission Hill
Home Movies (w/Paula Poundstone)
Aqua Teen Hunger Froce (cancelled or not?)

These "Adult Swim" cartoons were never high in the ratings, so it seems more likely the creative forces behind them went on to other projects.  I never really looked into it, though. 
"Duckman" (featuring Jason Alexander) was pre-Adult Swim, on the USA network, but it was Adult Swim-esque.  One critic nailed it when he said "Duckman" was "as funny as the Simpsons and as gross as South Park."

Aqua Teen Hunger Force is still aired on Cartoon Network here on the West Coast. They usually show Family Guy, Futurama and then Aqua Teen. A good trio, if I must say so!

great show that were cancelled were

8 simple rules (loved that show it was a shock that John Ritter died)
Greg the Bunny
30 seconds of fame
Now and Again ( that show was cancelled when it was a cliff hanger episode)
duckman
Titus (loved that show)

I think that Star Trek: The  Next Generation should never have been canceled, It may sound geeky that i'm a star trek goonie, but that show rocked, I also didn't want to see Are You afraid of the dark? on nickelodeon go either.

Reasons I miss Star Trek: TNG

- Holodeck (so cool) 8)
- Story
- Episode "The Naked Now" or something, so funny
- Patrick Stewart (the perfect person for the part) (could so kick Shatner's Ass)
- Dr. Crusher
- The graphics (at the time were so sweet)
- Dr. Crusher ;D

Shame it never released a DVD.. did it?

I have this knack for loving shows they cancel.... But I used to love My so Called Life and I loved the Critic... " Hi GUY!!" ;D ;D

One from 1985 I liked, although if I saw it today, I'd probably think it was pretty dumb:

OTHERWORLD
This program was like "Lost in Space," but it was time/dimension travel rather than space travel.

http://www.crazyabouttv.com/Images/otherworld.jpg

One season, eight episodes, and that's all she wrote, baby!
http://www.crazyabouttv.com/otherworld.html
My favorite episode was "Village of the Motorpigs."  It had a "Road Warrior" kind of theme.  Twenty years later I can't say I remember much else about it, other than it was my favorite "Otherworld," and it had "Road Warrior" kind of theme.
:-\\

I liked the sitcom called Grand.  I also really love the American version of The Office.  I hope it doesn't get axed!

I liked:

Bosom Buddies
Babes (starring the loud receptionist from Bosom Buddies)
Tales from the Darkside
Monsters

If you mean shows from 2000 up till now.

Medical Investigation
Buffy/Angel

uh.....
Just about any shows i guess
;D
