Cancelled shows

This is a thread about cancelled shows. Not Arrested Development or Firefly, though, because everybody misses those. Be more creative.

The 4400 - Honestly, I liked this show to the very end. It's kind of like Heroes, if Heroes had never stopped sucking. It was continually remaking itself and doing new and interesting things. I would love to have these DVDs.

Joan of Arcadia - Yeah, God, blah blah blah, but this show was pretty awesome. Although the end of the last season had some kind of "And now the Devil is gonna fuck with you!" bullshit, so maybe it was for the best.

Jericho - This show had its good moments, most of them involving everyone's favorite secret agent/federal official/spy/all around bad-ass, Robert Hawkins. That entire storyline was pretty sweet, and in general I'm a fan of post-apocalyptic narratives that don't suck.

    This is by far one of the best ones in the series... yet it was never made. :(

    Fuck Jericho,

    250px-Jeremiah_intro.jpg

    Jeremiah was where it was at, much better show, much more interesting post-apocalypse world. Basically everyone past puberty dies, so kids are left to grow up alone and create this world, the show follows the grown up kids. Its the closest thing to a Fallout type world, with Enclave and Raider-like factions.

    Its hard to find but i've heard it might be on netflix and similar kind of networks, and season 1 on dvd is pretty cheap, tho the season 2 dvd either doesnt exist or is impossible to find.

    According to the wiki, it doesn't exist.

    Another show I just remembered: Wonderfalls.

    Also, Jericho was plain retarded. No one acted like they would in an actual post-nuclear war world.

    And for some reason the main character (my man Skeet Ulrich) was awkwardly thrust into every major event that happened in every episode.

    I mean, it wasn't as gritty as it could have been, but I think part of it is that when you live in the middle of fucking Kansas, the apocalypse isn't actually going to change all that much for you.

    it was such a grandma and grandpa show

    I once stayed with one of my grandfathers' ex-wives, and I watched JAG for the first time with her. I can confirm its grandparent-y nature.

    My old roomate and I had multiple debates concerning Jericho after he brought home the first season on DVD.

    Everyone on that show made extremely unrealistic decisions. The only character who was actually written to act like a real human being was the "mysterious stranger who just moved into town and knew more than he let on".

    It was an excellent idea for a show that was saddled with some good actors and some terrible writers.

    Also JAG is not grandma and grandpa dudes it's like Law and Order only with more Navy and less rape. You just gotta see the action episodes and not the lame episodes.

    I hated it, I hated it even more because everytime I'd mention Jeremiah people would confuse it with Jericho.
