I miss Star Trek: Enterprise and do you remember Dark Angel with Jessica Alba? We'll never know the whole story.

You sound like my other half - was it the scene in the swimming pool that sticks in your mind?Vividly
Anyway, I personally think they should cancel Stargate Universe because it sucks! And bring back Atlantis!!!

Wow we have a difference in opinion there, I hated Atlantis just didn't sit right with me, and I quite like SGU... if anything though SG1 should come back

Oh man, Jericho was one of those shows where no one was allowed to call me, talk to me or touch me when it came on. It sort of had an ending, but not. We'll never know what happened to "America".
Anyone remember Earth 2? (we're going back a little here). That show left us hanging, but if I recall correctly it started losing momentum toward the end. But I really wanted to see some sort of closure (not to mention more of Debrah Farentino
).One show that came so close to being axed in recent times but was saved by the bell, is Fringe. That's the one show I refuse to miss. Again, do not call, talk to nor touch me when it's on.

Heh yea, that show could've gone on forever, so much could've been done with the story.
It reminds me a lot of the game I play called Fallout 3/Fallout New Vegas, where factions spring up amidst the chaos to try and take control of different areas.
Either way, great series, I wouldn't mind watching it again from the beginning.

Earth 2, yes I loved this series in the past.
And I really liked the new Knight Rider series last year.

Axed before its time:
Firefly - Maybe a bit too quirky for its time as well. Feed the bird Browncoats
Dollhouse - WTF half the time, but if they had given it a bit more time it could have gotten the viewer base to last a few more seasons.
Terminator - Bring it back - need to know how to defeat Skynet!
New Amsterdam - Awesome show, wish it lasted longer!
Meh:
Caprica - Had potential but mucked it up. Hopefully the Cylon war show that's coming up will redeem it a tad. ~10 years after Caprica so it could have some of the same characters (aside from Adama of course), and could tie up some loose ends. Hope they tie the series up with a 2 hr movie or something. HATE IT when they leave major plot twists undone.
Heroes - Good show, but lost their way.
Axed at the right time:
Prison Break - Was cancelled because of the show, not the actors. The wrap up movie after the series wasn't that good. Can't believe how many different TV shows T-Bag's been on since then. He's reprising the role in a new series by the producers of Prison Break. Show's going to be about cons who help feds capture bad guys.
Flashforward: Book was better (23 year jump vs. 6 month jump), but it had its own twist on the idea for sure.
Supernatural - They keep doing the series justice. Peggy: Brothers who hunt baddies - ghouls, ghosts, vampires, the devil, etc. In its sixth season. Good mix of that genre + humor.
Fringe is doing great, especially with going back and forth between dimensions. A similar show that started at the same time was the Eleventh Hour (yes, American remake of the UK show).
Can't believe Smallville's still going strong. Damn well make this last season end well.
Can't wait to see how Torchwood will do now that they're continuing it in the US.
Hrm, me thinks I either need to find a good TV forum or create one lol

I agree! Universe is just nowhere near as good as Atlantis! I'm very disappointed.

I agree re. Terminator.
As for Torchwood, I'm a bit worried that continuing it in the US will just completely change it. It's a British show and if it loses it's British-ness and gets morphed into an American show it will be a massive let-down. I just hope they don't make any major changes to it.
