sitcoms like Parks and Rec or Brooklyn Nine-

being cheesy or sacrificing any of it's humor.
I honestly think it should be rebooted at this

Currently running through this now. I'm not a Joel McHale fan. I don't think he's funny
and I find it annoying that every role he has revolves around him being good looking
when I think he's average looking at best.
With that said, it's probably one of the best shows I've seen since the early years of The
Office.

Well, plenty of the stories revolve around his character's vast insecurities, so he's

As a man with a quickly receding hairline, 100% support. From age 19-23 it

The way they made the final season was a roller coaster. It was picked up by the failed
Yahoo! Screen streaming service in 2015 and made/distributed at a $42 million loss for
the company. Might've cost them a lot, but at least we got decent closure.

[–] CheeseBaconLettuce 3 points 3 hours ago

I can kind of understand why, because it played it off safe. Nothing bad really happened,
and when something potentially bad was happening, I knew it would solve itself in a
way where basically nobody gets any lasting injuries.
The relationships were insanely slow, the only reason we got to see them being even a
little more than friends was because it was getting axed.
Big bad immortal guy felt like a Disney villain by the end, and the way they dealt with
him was fun but extremely predictable.
It's a show with a great concept, but it wasn't used to it's full potential.

I think it was good because it didn't have time to get bad. It was a solid premise
and first season. But it has the cliched mystique around it of what could have
been.
Looking objectively, was Kennedy really that great of a president? Eh... it's
debatable. But he's lionized because he was cut down too soon. Was Jim
Morrison really a rock god? Would he be revered the same way if he wasn't dead
at 27 before he became a fat washed up has been playing a casino circuit?

Much like horror movies are much scarier when they don't show you as much
because whatever your brain can think up is far more frightening than whatever
is on screen, anything that ends too soon is given over inflated praise because
your brain thinks in the abstract about how great it could have been.

On a behind the scenes, "paperwork" standpoint, every show is "canceled" even if


everyone agrees to end it for story reasons or whatever.

I never hear anything about it, but I really enjoyed the show Kings when it was on NBC for
a season. It was my first exposure to Ian McShane, who is amazing, and while I can't put
my finger on any 1 particular reason, the show as a whole was pretty enjoyable.

1. Firefly is the number 1 answer. Always


2. Alien Nation was an amazing sci fi series that got cancelled after 20 awesome episodes
BUT Fox did make 5 made for TV movies afterwards that continued the story so
maybe this is a cheat entry
3. Terminator: the Sarah Connor Chronicles...the only true official sequel to T2
4. Daredevil...the best thing Marvel has ever produced after the first Iron Man movie

Alphas. It was a show on SyFy that had two seasons I think? I loved that show and the last
episode ends on a cliff hanger. I'm still bitter about it.

I agree it did have a good run but for me it's one of those TV shows that you don't
want to end. And the movie just braught back so many memories. In fact they said
they were working on psych movie 2. They said they wanted to release a few more
but yea that was the last we heard of that one day maby

[–] Lyceus_ 3 points 2 hours ago

I love this show. It was a shame it was cancelled at a point where the story was really
developing with every episode, including many big twists. I reallt recommend it.
Also, Firefly is amazing and the most popular answer every time this question is asked.
Basically it's a sci-fi show that was totally mistreated by its network (Fox), and was
cancelled during its first season. This short life, and the fact that the story was wrapped
up in a theater-released movie, has given Firefly a mythical status among fans. It is
really good, though. Plus it has actors like Nathan Fillion, Morena Baccarin or Jewel
Staite.

It's not officially cancelled yet, but Trial & Error is as good as gone. Think Parks and Rec
meets Making a Murderer, with John Lithgow playing a poetry professor who gets accused of
killing his wife in a Pawnee-like small town.

The best show ABC Family (or whatever they're called now) ever had, and it got

Meanwhile, Pretty Little Liars kept going and going and going, and that show was a
mess. I need a 4th season of Kyle XY!

The Office
Okay technically it was cancelled and it was a good show but that show lasted long
enough. Once the characters started leaving it started getting worse. I'd rather have a
show end early than get progressively worse and more different from how it started.
permalink embed save parent report reply

[–] possiblyraspberries 5 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, The Office started going downhill around season 5, with a resurgence of
awesomeness with the Micheal Scott Paper Company arc, and then a pretty steep
decline sometime in season 6. I think I stopped watching altogether a couple
episodes after Micheal left.
