The tomorrow people remake that was made and shown and was cancelled at the end of season one but to some of the people that watched the show beginning to the end may have had questions that needed answering from the ending of the season.
I thought some of these deserved more, such as My So-Called Life and Firefly (ran for 17 episodes, not 14). You could’ve also included Alcatraz, Terra Nova and Forever. Seems a shame when you see some of the rubbish that’s still going after 10 or more seasons. I loathe reality TV and if these were cut, some of the shows with promise might get longer to show what they can do.
I was sorry about Dead Like Me – I loved that show. Though the film did help, it did tie up some loose ends nicely though it did seem to rewrite part of the reaper lore in the process.
What about Human Target (2 seasons) and even though My Name is Earl ran for 4 seasons, it was never properly ended. Season 4 ended on a cliffhanger that is still… well… cliffhanging!
A list of Meh, If You ask Me.
Dead Like Me, Deadwood and Firefly, Apart from that the rest I could care less about.
What about “Almost Human”? “Jericho” “Fast Forward” ? “Noware Man”?
You even left out “Star Trek”??? That only got 3 seasons.
Space above and beyond
only made one season 1995-1996 and was way ahead of its time
It was nominated for two Emmy Awards and one Saturn Award. It was ranked “50” in IGN’s top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows, described as “yet another sci-fi show that went before its time”.
I was surprised the TV show Forever (starring Ioan Gruffudd) that had a lot of uproar surrounding it when NBC wouldn’t renew it for a new series. There was polls trying to get it booted up elsewhere but nothing could be done, id strongly suggest watching it.
Another great show that was ended way too soon was Blood Ties. It aired on Lifetime and was a supernatural detective show about an ex cop private detective that worked alongside a vampire who masqueraded as a graphic novel artist. I can’t remember what years it ran but it was awesome.

You missed out V (cut short – 2 seasons only – leaving story line in limbo)
Sad that Space above and beyond, Brimstone, Dark angel and Quantum leap didn’t make the list
What about Caprica?
The remake of V lasted 2 seasons and was a very good revision of the story. Cut at the end of season 2 where things were getting very interesting.
There should have been another season of Forever, also I thought Alcatraz could have done a bit longer as well
The 4400, Ghost Whisperer
what about “Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles” ???
Carnivale, Revolution, Stalker,The Glades, and the brilliant Almost Human ( US and UK versions )
I was sorry about Dead Like Me – I loved that show. Though the film did help, it did tie up some loose ends nicely though it did seem to rewrite part of the reaper lore in the process.
would thought revolution would been up there
What about Revolution and Dark Angel,
We’re Stargate Universe? And for that matter Stargate Atlantis still had many avenues it could have went down before cancellation!
add terra nova, sleeper cell,
stalker
Terra Nova should be on here for certain.. that was a great show, and I was really p.o’d they didn’t make any more seasons..
I’ve only heard of a few of these shows. Only watched two of them, Veronica Mars and Ringer.
add The Glades to the list!
So does Boss (all on Netflix, Kelsey Grammer’s best performance, imho).
Joan of Arcadia deserves an honorable mention.
I agreed with three choices (dont trust the B…., Firefly and Dead like me) and would have added ‘Flash Forward’, Being Erica’ and ‘Eastwick’
What about Human Target (2 seasons) and even though My Name is Earl ran for 4 seasons, it was never properly ended. Season 4 ended on a cliffhanger that is still… well… cliffhanging!
Glad you put in FireFly.. I would have added Stargate Universe, Terra Nova and Survivor (BBC Post apocalyptic type drama).
only heard of 2 of them, Deadwood and Firefly
Exactly! Maybe promotion was the first part of the problem? The second….they sucked! lol
Carnivale is my choice. Nothing else like it on TV since.
A list of Meh, If You ask Me.
Dead Like Me, Deadwood and Firefly, Apart from that the rest I could care less about.
What about “Almost Human”? “Jericho” “Fast Forward” ? “Noware Man”?
You even left out “Star Trek”??? That only got 3 seasons.
One that I think should be in the list: Jericho
MOST DEFINITELY! That was a FANTASTIC show!
Add “Crusade” to the list. Canceled after 13 episodes.
Space above and beyond

It was nominated for two Emmy Awards and one Saturn Award. It was ranked “50” in IGN’s top 50 Sci-Fi TV Shows, described as “yet another sci-fi show that went before its time”.
Perception with Eric McCormack. Cancelled after 3 series…Brilliant show
You missed two shows in my book, Forever cancelled after One Season and Chasing Life after Two Seasons!
people loved firefly so much a movie got made from it which was also well received by most, especially sci-fi fans.

What about JOhn from Cincinnati?
Another great show that was ended way too soon was Blood Ties. It aired on Lifetime and was a supernatural detective show about an ex cop private detective that worked alongside a vampire who masqueraded as a graphic novel artist. I can’t remember what years it ran but it was awesome.
