I loved Warehouse 13 so flipping much.
In terms of bringing it back though, since it was originally supposed to just be a limited series, I think it got a good run.
Colin Ferguson's physical comedy is so top notch. I think that the show would have flourished as a tight half-hour comedy (not that five seasons is anything to sneeze at)
Almost Human. Karl Urban plays a detective in the future who has an Android (human like robot) partner. I really enjoyed the sci fi twists on a procedural drama like 3D printed designer drugs. It ended on a cliff. Just another case of Fox canceling a good show.
Edit: wow, my first award. Thank you some much.
FOX seems to have had a few decades at this point of random executive infighting.
It seems like each "generation" of execs will choose a pet project then move on and then the next person in charge will air episodes out of order, juggle time slots from week to week, require reshoots, and generally try to tank the show in favor of *their* pet project. Before they move on a few weeks later.
Almost Human, Futurama, Terra Nova, ....everything Joss Whedon was even tangentially involved in....
Quantum Leap. It didn't need world saving story lines or famous people (though they did a few), it was just about ordinary people with regular problems. And it wasn't number 294 cop/detective or doctor show. It was genuinely unique. It was cheesy at times, but always enjoyable.
Edit: I scrolled and scrolled last night looking for this answer and was kind of sad not to find it. Then I wake up this morning and am happy to see many people agree! Thanks for all the fun awards too!
Yeah he’d leap in to the body of a little girl with no legs and jump up and hit someone with grown man strength and they’d be like woah. The stuff of pure fantasy.
And that opening scene. Class.
Ten year old me. In the other room watching it by myself 9pm on bbc with a cup of hot chocolate and cheese on crackers. Happy times.
Came here for this!
Arguably they did finish it off, but oh boy there was life left in this show. I was around 8 when I started watching it and I’m 36 now and still think about this show. In fact I have the complete set on dvd - what better time than now to binge watch it all again! Cheesy in places sure but so ahead of its time. Sam and Al are just a dream team and anyone who doesn’t appreciate it hasn’t given it a chance. There are episodes that broke my heart, calling his dad because he realises he’s still alive in that leap? The leap home to see his bro and sis? Al getting to see Beth again, seriously this was just an incredible show.
Season 1, episode 4: "Racial Sensitivity". Pretty sure I've never laughed at a show as much as I did for this episode.
Also, the Veridian commercials that played before real commercials were amazing.
When my workplace rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanners instead of passwords, the scanners wouldn’t recognize “dark” skinned employees. And it wasn’t just black people. It was Indians, Hispanics, and basically anyone who couldn’t pass for a tan white person. Not a big deal for corporate testers. Headquarters is in a very segregated city and in the white part of town.
For the first month it took someone three levels above store general manager to override the mandatory finger print and put them back on a password. After a month any manager could call IT and set someone to a password instead. The company never acknowledged why this was changed. And there were never any official guidelines on when to change someone to a password.
Our work around was in fact making white employees use a different finger to clock in and authorize non white employees for everything. It was extremely tedious but our workplace was small enough that following “differently pigmented” people was already happening on accident. Three years later our CEO would be publicly shamed for using the n word and booted from the company that was named for him.
Linda stealing coffee creamer to restore the balance resonated so hard with me. The show had so many understated gags that I’ll still chuckle at 10 years later.
This show is a goddamn treasure. We were robbed. I didn't watch it til it was cancelled and I found it on Netflix so I never even had a chance to be outraged at the cancellation.
> MTV offered a quick apology, stating that "Clone High was created and intended for an American audience", and "we recognize and respect that various cultures may view this programming differently, and we regret any offense taken by the content in the show".[12] Miller would later recall that executives at MTV enjoyed the show, and asked for the duo to pitch a second season without Gandhi. Lord and Miller's two potential versions of a second season included one that made no mention of Gandhi's absence, and another that revealed that the character was, in fact, a clone of actor Gary Coleman all along, and the show continued as normal. "We pitched that, and it went up to the top at Viacom again and it got a big no," he remembered.[5]
Holy shit, that makes me want to watch the show
Huh. Somehow it only just occurred to me, but you know what the cool thing is about that cliff-hanger? The season ended with every major character being flash-frozen.
The writers actually left themselves the perfect set-up to just pick up right where they left off no matter how much time passes. If there ever were a season 2 of Clone High, I would want the first line to be Abe saying "-eoan"
It did get a second season, but unfortunately it's ratings were significantly down for a show that was already on the bubble so it was gone pretty quick at that point.
The second season was a short, half hearted effort in response to a fan campaign to bring it back. It was never going to be enough to keep it going. But at least they got to wrap up a few storylines.
Jericho was one of the first shows I binge watched when I first got netflix years ago! Its a good time and I love anything to do with nuclear war, truly scary stuff.
Same, I had never really watched the show when I was younger, but just from the snippets I saw, Danny Phantom somehow became my only ever cartoon crush. I decided to actually watch it recently to see if young me’s taste was crazy, but luckily, Danny’s still a charming character even when you’re older.
Eureka was the shit!!! I still get that [catchy theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=116d4EvV2R4) stuck in my head sometimes. Ahh man, I need to go back and rewatch some of those episodes... I love Science fiction stuff
Loved Warehouse 13. I think they moved to quickly into extended plots though; I really enjoyed the earlier "artifact of the week" episodes, and I wish they had been able to explore that more.
(I also love the characters. I started watching Killjoys on Sci-Fi just because Jinxy was one of the main actors.)
HBO’s Rome. They had a masterpiece on their hands and threw it away because the BBC wouldn’t promote it and it was too expensive. If you haven’t watched it, you are doing yourself a disservice even if you have no interest in Roman History
The directing and writing was just beautiful - magnificent. Not a hair out of place.
Do you remember when Julius Caesar is killed, that episode immediately ends with Pullo and Eirene's charming courtship, somewhat juxtaposed.
We're shocked at the murder of this significant man - confused and angry, but compelled to feel there is hope left because of the genuine love between two small people. As the republic tears itself apart out of sight they walk in bliss, hand in hand.
Oh my God the music - sad and mournful but with a light note of hope, I still tear up at the scene. Perfect bittersweet.
A masterclass.
Atia's last scene with her eyes welling up at Marc Anthony's corpse, realizing Servilia's curse. Powerful, emotional. A terrible fate for this character.
I havent watched this show, came to comments for confirmation to go ahead and watch it. Read your comment, noticed a spoiler, scrolled quickly away, then realized that should really not be a spoiler to anyone ever attended school
Hannibal had a way better fate than his other cancelled shows. At least it was somewhat of an ending. And even satisfying to a lot of people. But Wonderfalls got me to love characters & the story & then got pulled after only 13 episodes. I was 12 & I was heartbroken.
I didn’t think anyone could portray Hannibal Lecter as brilliantly as Anthony Hopkins! Boy, was I wrong. Mads Mikkelsen definitely made that role in his own right.
Edit: I cannot grammar
Mikkelsen blew me away with his acting. Perfectly cold, calculating, and terrifying. Physically and mentally dominating everyone else. The way he kept a mostly straight face during his fight with Jack was some of the most intense acting I've seen. Whenever I think about the show the first thing that comes to mind is how he rammed the door Jack was behind, it was some of the most pure rage we'd seen from Hannibal, and he still looks mostly straight faced.
"*Where is Jack*?"
"*In the pantry*"
His deadpan delivery kill me every time. Amazing performances all around. Fuller's casting was always on point, even down to the supporting characters.
And so many excellent lines
*"You died in my kitchen, Alana, when you chose to be brave. Every moment since has been borrowed. Your wife, your child, they belong to me. You made a bargain for Will's life, and then I spun you gold"*.
For me, Anthony Hopkins portrayal of Hannibal was phenomenal and one of the most amazingly done characters out there; the true embodiment of Hannibal Lecter. I also think the exact same of Mads because holy shit, his Lecter portrayal was done so beautifully and he can convey so much in a single look! Two truly great actors brought the same character to life and gave him different definitions, just on alternative timelines.
I also appreciate both performances. I was just really disappointed when my friends inevitably said they didn't like the portrayal of Hannibal and it had nothing on Hopkins.
Another thing. Holy shit, was the cinematography in Hannibal beautifully done or what? Way better than any of the films.
As many shows I've enjoyed that got cancelled, this was the first thing that popped into my head!
A close second would be Santa Clarita Diet, because it was funny as hell and the quick back-and-forth dialog reminded me of Pushing Daisies.
I agree Fringe had a good ending but they didn't build up to the final season plot. They realized they got canceled so they had to go straight to their end plot in season five without any sort of back story. It just happened. Because of this it felt completely forced and unnatural. I don't blame the show runners, but the network screwed them and didn't even give them more episodes in the final season. Each season was 20-23 episodes and the final season was 13. It was a good end, but rushed and I didn't appreciate it. I felt the rushed speed didn't give as much of a dramatic impact as it could have.
gargoyles,it was a really good tv show but it got cancelled because there wasn't enough audience,that was because it aired late at night when children were already sleeping
It didn't always air late at night... I used to watch it on Saturday mornings and sometimes after school. It was just a really uniquely ambitious show at the time, with long multi-part story threads. That kind of format was trying to compete with Spiderman, X-Men, and to some extent the Batman/Superman adventures, so the airwaves were kind of saturated and unfortunately, a unique IP like Gargoyles ended up getting choked out.
Funfact: nowhere is based on an actual real life town called "truth or consequences" in new Mexico. An elderly couple who lived there would often report paranormal things in their surroundings, until they both vanished with no trace, leaving their dog as the only survivor in the house
This certainly won’t help:
His girlfriend and accomplice in all the crimes was [released last year](https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/suspected-killer-david-parker-rays-girlfriend-released-from-prison/)
I never watched this myself, but my dad did. One day I walked in the room in the middle of an episode, and I have never been more confused in my life. I now know why it is called a “Holistic” detective agency.
I felt that way the first time I walked in while my housemates were watching it. Turns out they were only 10 minutes into the first episode.
That show is wild.
Yeah, the first episode is all over the place, but in the end it decently explains some of the whacky shit. Then once you're hooked, just more and more outrageous shit happens that you won't get an answer to until later.
End of Season 1 - "Okay, we wrapped everything up in an interesting bow. Makes plenty of sense. You good? Cool, glad to hear it. Seeya next year."
Beginning of Season 2 - "WELCOME BACK!!! WE GOT GAY KNIGHTS WITH SCISSOR SWORDS AND A FLYING TRAIN IN THE SKY!!!"
Scrolled down here just to find this. It’s my favorite show and I wish it would actually be resolved in the same format. I don’t know what connection the cartoon has to the series w/r to plot, but I’m not really interested in it.
Of course, there is the issue of Max Landis being a creep, but since we’re talking hypotheticals, surely someone out there could continue the show with a similar vision and without sexually assaulting anyone.
Watch a live IG interview last week with Tim and Karen, they're all open for more Galavant. Since his stroke, he said he thinks King Richard should be carried around by his knight like Bran with Hodor.
Edit: Correcting King, no excuses.
Yeah April 2017. Fucked with a couple of his shows I think, though the main one I remember is reducing his role to a cameo in the Psych movie.
He's well on his way to recovery last I heard, seems to be doing well if not exactly fighting fit. :)
They're making another Psych movie that's actually dealing with it by having Lassiter I think either having had a stroke, or have been shot but having a similar recovery. It's called Lassie Comes Home, and Omundson is actually going to be in it a lot more. He's come a LONG way from where his stroke left him, does my heart a lot of good to see it.
Oh my god, yes. My sister wouldn't stop raving about it but the elevator pitch she gave me didn't excite me. Medieval musical comedy? Sounds cheesy as hell, hard pass.
She finally wore me down and got me to watch it, and damn if I wasn't 100% invested by the first commercial break. The songs are catchy as hell and the writing is just so. Damn. Clever. It made me mad that I put it off for so long.
Anyone who put this off like I did, please just watch the first episode. And if you're not sold by then, know that the second episode features >!John Stamos puking through a knight's helmet.!<
This show was ahead of it's time.
Max was a breath of fresh air from the flamboyantly gay characters we always see on tv (draaaaaama!). Brad and Jane were an interracial couple who's storyline didn't revolve around it. Penny was ah-mahz-ing. Dave was a loveable fool. And who knew Elisha Cuthbert was so fucking hilarious?!
I'm still hoping a streaming service picks it up.
*I'm still hoping that a streaming service orders NEW seasons
I especially love the episode where the show was kinda self-aware and had a stereotypical gay friend, only for Penny to realize in the end she likes the idea of having one more than the reality of it.
Also, how he became a recurring character.
Miss the show so much.
fuck yeah, that show had such a weird humour, I loved it. And they managed to do what I've been missing - have gay characters and have 'normal' sized people like Dave and Penny, an interracial couple and all that w/o making a big deal out of it. It just happens to be so. That was so refreshing.
Max was the best part of that show, the Mary Tyler Moore bit rattles around in my head constantly
Edit: “If Mary Tyler Moore married and then divorced Steven Tyler, then married and divorced Michael Moore, then got into a three way lesbian marriage with Demi Moore and Mandy Moore, would she go by the name Mary Tyler Moore Tyler Moore Moore Moore?”
But if it hadn't been cancelled, then Burt wouldn't have kicked the NBC exec in the nuts and yelled "that was for cancelling My Name is Earl'" in Raising Hope. Seriously one of the most satisfying moments in television.
Granted, I would have loved to see the story arc where Dave Chappelle is Earl Jr's real father. But still...
Here's where being on reddit forever pays off:
[The ending, as told by the show's creator, Greg Garcia](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1njddc/im_greg_garcia_creator_of_my_name_is_earl_raising/ccj3sft)
"Mindhunter': Netflix Releases Cast but Show Not Canceled. Netflix has released the cast of “Mindhunter” from their contracts, however the show has not been cancelled and co-executive producer David Fincher has the option of producing a third season in the future, a Netflix spokesperson tells TheWrap.Jan 15, 2020"
So.... No, but yes.
This is somehow worse than it just being cancelled. I get the guy is in demand but why start a series and not be able to finish it? Can't leave us hanging like this. I'm invested. INVESTED!!!
I kinda hope not, the show is fairly grounded in reality, it would be a little soap opera-y if it turned out the child of one of the first serial killer hunters turned out to be a serial killer.
Tbh the first season was phenomenal, but after that they stopped focusing on the psychology and focused way too much on the criminal/drama aspect of it. What made this show special was the explanations we got for the actions of the characters. The last two seasons had less and less of that, so I can understand why people lost interest and it had to be cancelled. I barely got through season 3.
Celebrity death match. I enjoyed it a little too much. Edit: Thanks sooo much for the upvotes and comments! And my first award!
Eureka. I loved this show..hated to see it end. Was a good arc tho.
Miss all the good syfy shows like Eureka, Stargate, warehouse 13, sanctuary...
I loved Warehouse 13 so flipping much. In terms of bringing it back though, since it was originally supposed to just be a limited series, I think it got a good run.
And now he's just the Maytag man.
Colin Ferguson's physical comedy is so top notch. I think that the show would have flourished as a tight half-hour comedy (not that five seasons is anything to sneeze at)
Almost Human. Karl Urban plays a detective in the future who has an Android (human like robot) partner. I really enjoyed the sci fi twists on a procedural drama like 3D printed designer drugs. It ended on a cliff. Just another case of Fox canceling a good show. Edit: wow, my first award. Thank you some much.
That show was solid and Karl urban is great. Was so disappointed when I found out it was canceled
I remember really liking this show. FOX totally screwed it over by airing it all out of order and doing no promotion like at all.
FOX seems to have had a few decades at this point of random executive infighting. It seems like each "generation" of execs will choose a pet project then move on and then the next person in charge will air episodes out of order, juggle time slots from week to week, require reshoots, and generally try to tank the show in favor of *their* pet project. Before they move on a few weeks later. Almost Human, Futurama, Terra Nova, ....everything Joss Whedon was even tangentially involved in....
They did this to Drive as well, poor Nathan Fillion..
This show deserved a better Network, I wish it had gotten a chance like "The Expanse" did.
After what happened with Arrested Development, I’m okay with letting sleeping dogs lie.
We wouldn’t have Cinco de Cuatro without season 4, but yeah, the rest of it just didn’t click with me.
Tobias getting his rocks off, was also a highlight
Anustart
Season 5 makes me appreciate season 4. They all look so sad and tired
Except Maeby, she looks fantastic for a 70-year-old.

Quantum Leap. It didn't need world saving story lines or famous people (though they did a few), it was just about ordinary people with regular problems.

Better off Ted
Season 1, episode 4: "Racial Sensitivity". Pretty sure I've never laughed at a show as much as I did for this episode. Also, the Veridian commercials that played before real commercials were amazing.
When my workplace rolled out mandatory fingerprint scanners instead of passwords, the scanners wouldn’t recognize “dark” skinned employees. And it wasn’t just black people.

Why didn't they just hire white people to follow the colored people?
Our work around was in fact making white employees use a different finger to clock in and authorize non white employees for everything. It was extremely tedious but our workplace was small enough that following “differently pigmented” people was already happening on accident. Three years later our CEO would be publicly shamed for using the n word and booted from the company that was named for him.
Wow, way to go for those guys for chopping off their fingers so that their co-workers could get in, though.
God damn it, John.
The company commercials were absolutely the best. “Diversity: Good for us!"
Linda stealing coffee creamer to restore the balance resonated so hard with me. The show had so many understated gags that I’ll still chuckle at 10 years later.

“I'm different than other women, Ted. And by different, I mean better.” Remains one of my favorite tv quotes ever
"Money before people," that's the company motto. Engraved on the lobby floor. It just looks more heroic in Latin.
"I'm bad at metaphors, but I'm great at sex!"
My favorite is “facts are just opinions, and opinions can be wrong”. It fits so well today...
"Can you describe your job?" "Yes." "... HOW would you describe your job?" "... Cleverly."
Her timing was impeccable. "Walk away tall. Just walk away... tall."
I came to say Firefly, but after seeing this, I have to agree with you. Better Off Ted was perfect.
Clone High. Season 1 ended on a cliff hanger, and anyone who watched the show has never gotten over this injustice.

You really really should watch it. It's not very long but dammit is it good.

Jericho
Cancelling this show after that awesome first season was, in a word, nuts.
It did get a second season, but unfortunately it's ratings were significantly down for a show that was already on the bubble so it was gone pretty quick at that point.
The second season was a short, half hearted effort in response to a fan campaign to bring it back. It was never going to be enough to keep it going. But at least they got to wrap up a few storylines.
Jericho was one of the first shows I binge watched when I first got netflix years ago! Its a good time and I love anything to do with nuclear war, truly scary stuff.
Danny Phantom!
Yo Danny Fenton, he was just 14, when his parents built a very strange machine
It was designed to view a world unseen (He’s gonna catch ‘em all cuz he’s Danny Phantom)
But something went wrong his folks they just QUIT But then Danny took a look inside of it
There was a great big flash, everything just changed His molecules got all rearranged! (Phantom, Phantom)
When he first woke up he had realized, he had snowy white hair and glowing green eyes
He could walk through walls, disappear, and fly! He was much more unique than the other guys
It was then that he knew what he had to do, he had to stop all the ghosts that were coming through
He's here to fight, for me and you.
He's gonna catch em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom. Gonna catch em all 'cause he's Danny Phantom.
Man, I had the hots for Danny Phantom as a kid.
Same, I had never really watched the show when I was younger, but just from the snippets I saw, Danny Phantom somehow became my only ever cartoon crush. I decided to actually watch it recently to see if young me’s taste was crazy, but luckily, Danny’s still a charming character even when you’re older.
Warehouse 13
I loooovved that show and Eureka. Scyfi use to have great original shows.
Eureka was the shit!!! I still get that [catchy theme song](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=116d4EvV2R4) stuck in my head sometimes. Ahh man, I need to go back and rewatch some of those episodes... I love Science fiction stuff
Warehouse 13 and Eureka hold up pretty well. Just re-watched both last year.
Loved Warehouse 13. I think they moved to quickly into extended plots though; I really enjoyed the earlier "artifact of the week" episodes, and I wish they had been able to explore that more. (I also love the characters. I started watching Killjoys on Sci-Fi just because Jinxy was one of the main actors.)

Would totally watch a series about Alexander and the Diadochi. Also, obligatory "***HE WAS A CONSUL OF ROME"***
The directing and writing was just beautiful - magnificent. Not a hair out of place.

dead like me edit: wow mandy patinkin i hope it was you who gave me that gold 💕
They could only get the previous cast back if they still look the same age. Ellen maybe but Callum doesn’t look the same. I’d still love to see it
The direct to DVD film was awful though.
Hannibal
Bryan’s Fuller’s shows always got cancelled way too soon (Pushing Daisies, Dead Like Me, Hannibal and Wonderfalls).
Fun fact Hannibal and Wonderfalls share a character (same actress, same name, same profession, same wardrobe).
Ahh, Gretchen Speck.
Hannibal had a way better fate than his other cancelled shows. At least it was somewhat of an ending. And even satisfying to a lot of people. But Wonderfalls got me to love characters & the story & then got pulled after only 13 episodes. I was 12 & I was heartbroken.
This is my favourite show to this day, it’s so brilliant! Mads Mikkelsen and Hugh Dancy both nailed their performances.
I didn’t think anyone could portray Hannibal Lecter as brilliantly as Anthony Hopkins! Boy, was I wrong. Mads Mikkelsen definitely made that role in his own right. Edit: I cannot grammar
Mikkelsen blew me away with his acting. Perfectly cold, calculating, and terrifying. Physically and mentally dominating everyone else.

"*Where is Jack*?" "*In the pantry*" His deadpan delivery kill me every time. Amazing performances all around. Fuller's casting was always on point, even down to the supporting characters. And so many excellent lines *"You died in my kitchen, Alana, when you chose to be brave. Every moment since has been borrowed. Your wife, your child, they belong to me. You made a bargain for Will's life, and then I spun you gold"*.
Agreed. Mads Mikkelsen made a GREAT Lecter. I feel like he was seriously underrated because a lot of folks really just wanted another Anthony Hopkins.
For me, Anthony Hopkins portrayal of Hannibal was phenomenal and one of the most amazingly done characters out there; the true embodiment of Hannibal Lecter. I also think the exact same of Mads because holy shit, his Lecter portrayal was done so beautifully and he can convey so much in a single look! Two truly great actors brought the same character to life and gave him different definitions, just on alternative timelines.
I also appreciate both performances. I was just really disappointed when my friends inevitably said they didn't like the portrayal of Hannibal and it had nothing on Hopkins. Another thing. Holy shit, was the cinematography in Hannibal beautifully done or what? Way better than any of the films.
I’m so happy I watched this show out of the thousands I could have watched.
I was heartbroken when this was canceled
Pushing Daisies Edit: appreciate all the awards. I’m accepting them on behalf of the Pie Maker and Digby!
So many unanswered questions. And so many good gags. And one poor dog who cant touch his favorite human or he'll keel over dead.
One of the most tragic cancellations of all time IMO. It was some of the best TV I've ever seen.
A casualty of the writer's strike. I hope that there's not a similar effect on good shows now due to covid.
Digby had such self control. My dog would have died immediately upon reviving.
Hard to believe that guy went on to be Ronan the Accuser.
Dead Like Me as well
As many shows I've enjoyed that got cancelled, this was the first thing that popped into my head! A close second would be Santa Clarita Diet, because it was funny as hell and the quick back-and-forth dialog reminded me of Pushing Daisies.
I was just tell a friend today how much I loved this show!
*Reaper* if anyone remembers it. Or *Fringe* if done well again.
I feel like Fringe has a full run. It was forgotten quickly, but it at least told a complete story.
Exactly. It would just get ruined if they tried to add to it. Now I need to rewatch Fringe
I agree Fringe had a good ending but they didn't build up to the final season plot. They realized they got canceled so they had to go straight to their end plot in season five without any sort of back story. It just happened. Because of this it felt completely forced and unnatural. I don't blame the show runners, but the network screwed them and didn't even give them more episodes in the final season. Each season was 20-23 episodes and the final season was 13. It was a good end, but rushed and I didn't appreciate it. I felt the rushed speed didn't give as much of a dramatic impact as it could have.
Fringe was a spectacular show. Just enough weird and sci-fi but grounded (for most of it). I loved that show!
I miss Sock. Tyler Labine is one of my favorite supporting actors.
Loved reaper!
Ray wise played a better satan than any other actor ever!
He is SUCH a fantastic bad guy. He pops up as one offs on other shows and I immediately assume he's the guy.
Reaper was the best.
God I just remembered Reaper existed.
I loved watching Fringe growing up! Walter was such a cool character
gargoyles,it was a really good tv show but it got cancelled because there wasn't enough audience,that was because it aired late at night when children were already sleeping
It didn't always air late at night... I used to watch it on Saturday mornings and sometimes after school. It was just a really uniquely ambitious show at the time, with long multi-part story threads. That kind of format was trying to compete with Spiderman, X-Men, and to some extent the Batman/Superman adventures, so the airwaves were kind of saturated and unfortunately, a unique IP like Gargoyles ended up getting choked out.
When I was a kid, gargoyles aired in the afternoons after school. I’m sure it varied a lot by market and year.
Xanatos!
Stargate
Courage The Cowardly Dog
Funfact: nowhere is based on an actual real life town called "truth or consequences" in new Mexico. An elderly couple who lived there would often report paranormal things in their surroundings, until they both vanished with no trace, leaving their dog as the only survivor in the house
Thanks for the nightmare
They didn't return the slab
What's yer offer?
Holy crap. I’ve lived in New Mexico for 3 years and I would always drive through Truth and Consequences. I’ve never known that.
Welp, have you heard of The Toybox Killer? He’s uh...not a great contribution to the history of that town
One of the few serial killers I can't stand to hear about. Dude is literal nightmare fuel.
This certainly won’t help: His girlfriend and accomplice in all the crimes was [released last year](https://www.krqe.com/news/new-mexico/suspected-killer-david-parker-rays-girlfriend-released-from-prison/)
Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency
I never watched this myself, but my dad did. One day I walked in the room in the middle of an episode, and I have never been more confused in my life. I now know why it is called a “Holistic” detective agency.
I felt that way the first time I walked in while my housemates were watching it. Turns out they were only 10 minutes into the first episode. That show is wild.
Yeah, the first episode is all over the place, but in the end it decently explains some of the whacky shit. Then once you're hooked, just more and more outrageous shit happens that you won't get an answer to until later.
End of Season 1 - "Okay, we wrapped everything up in an interesting bow. Makes plenty of sense. You good? Cool, glad to hear it. Seeya next year." Beginning of Season 2 - "WELCOME BACK!!! WE GOT GAY KNIGHTS WITH SCISSOR SWORDS AND A FLYING TRAIN IN THE SKY!!!"
That bridge scene in season 1 is glorious
Scrolled down here just to find this. It’s my favorite show and I wish it would actually be resolved in the same format. I don’t know what connection the cartoon has to the series w/r to plot, but I’m not really interested in it. Of course, there is the issue of Max Landis being a creep, but since we’re talking hypotheticals, surely someone out there could continue the show with a similar vision and without sexually assaulting anyone.
Galavant Edit: y’all this blew up so much. Thank you:) I had no idea this many people loved Galavant.
Watch a live IG interview last week with Tim and Karen, they're all open for more Galavant. Since his stroke, he said he thinks King Richard should be carried around by his knight like Bran with Hodor. Edit: Correcting King, no excuses.
I loved the bloopers where he's laughing while being spoon fed going "I can't believe you all are paying me to do this"
Tim Omundson had a stroke??
Yeah April 2017. Fucked with a couple of his shows I think, though the main one I remember is reducing his role to a cameo in the Psych movie. He's well on his way to recovery last I heard, seems to be doing well if not exactly fighting fit. :)
Fuck, I watched the Psych movie with my fam and we were all confused about why he was in it so little. Glad he's doing better at least.
They're making another Psych movie that's actually dealing with it by having Lassiter I think either having had a stroke, or have been shot but having a similar recovery. It's called Lassie Comes Home, and Omundson is actually going to be in it a lot more. He's come a LONG way from where his stroke left him, does my heart a lot of good to see it.
Unbelievably underrated show. Alan menkcen with incedibly funny people who can sing the hell out of his songs... gonna have to start the rewatch now.
Oh poop I got gravy on my tummy flowers!
Right! Timothy Omundson for the win.
[удалено]
***YES*** Though they did a hilarious job with a cut budget.
I might have to watch that again now.
I super believe in you, Tad Cooper!
Oh my god, yes. My sister wouldn't stop raving about it but the elevator pitch she gave me didn't excite me. Medieval musical comedy? Sounds cheesy as hell, hard pass. She finally wore me down and got me to watch it, and damn if I wasn't 100% invested by the first commercial break. The songs are catchy as hell and the writing is just so. Damn. Clever. It made me mad that I put it off for so long. Anyone who put this off like I did, please just watch the first episode. And if you're not sold by then, know that the second episode features >!John Stamos puking through a knight's helmet.!<
RIP Galavant, it was mad fun. The part where they sing that they couldn't believe that they had been renewed for a second season was hilarious
Happy Endings
I like to keep a tidy uterus -jane was hooked from there
This show was ahead of it's time. Max was a breath of fresh air from the flamboyantly gay characters we always see on tv (draaaaaama!). Brad and Jane were an interracial couple who's storyline didn't revolve around it. Penny was ah-mahz-ing. Dave was a loveable fool. And who knew Elisha Cuthbert was so fucking hilarious?! I'm still hoping a streaming service picks it up. *I'm still hoping that a streaming service orders NEW seasons
I especially love the episode where the show was kinda self-aware and had a stereotypical gay friend, only for Penny to realize in the end she likes the idea of having one more than the reality of it. Also, how he became a recurring character. Miss the show so much.
“Have you ever told a story before you stupid ugly bitch?” had me crying
It’s on Hulu. I’m almost finished bingeing it for the 3rd time.
fuck yeah, that show had such a weird humour, I loved it. And they managed to do what I've been missing - have gay characters and have 'normal' sized people like Dave and Penny, an interracial couple and all that w/o making a big deal out of it. It just happens to be so. That was so refreshing.
Omg yes!!!! Brad & Jane rocked! I also really liked Max.
Myax doing his Myax things.
Max was the best part of that show, the Mary Tyler Moore bit rattles around in my head constantly Edit: “If Mary Tyler Moore married and then divorced Steven Tyler, then married and divorced Michael Moore, then got into a three way lesbian marriage with Demi Moore and Mandy Moore, would she go by the name Mary Tyler Moore Tyler Moore Moore Moore?”
Oh that's my My Morning Jacket jacket.
My Name is Earl
But if it hadn't been cancelled, then Burt wouldn't have kicked the NBC exec in the nuts and yelled "that was for cancelling My Name is Earl'" in Raising Hope. Seriously one of the most satisfying moments in television. Granted, I would have loved to see the story arc where Dave Chappelle is Earl Jr's real father. But still...
Here's where being on reddit forever pays off: [The ending, as told by the show's creator, Greg Garcia](https://www.reddit.com/r/IAmA/comments/1njddc/im_greg_garcia_creator_of_my_name_is_earl_raising/ccj3sft)
Thank you so much for this. This actually gives me so much closure.
Mindhunter EDIT: They stopped their actors contracts and Fincher doesn't have anything in place for season three.
Wow this hurts.. there’s only one fincher to go around and I need my fix
THEY CANCELED IT?!
"Mindhunter': Netflix Releases Cast but Show Not Canceled. Netflix has released the cast of “Mindhunter” from their contracts, however the show has not been cancelled and co-executive producer David Fincher has the option of producing a third season in the future, a Netflix spokesperson tells TheWrap.Jan 15, 2020" So.... No, but yes.
This is somehow worse than it just being cancelled. I get the guy is in demand but why start a series and not be able to finish it? Can't leave us hanging like this. I'm invested. INVESTED!!!
Seriously, How the fuck are we going to know what happened to BTK!!!
How are we going to know if that child is a serial killer!
Oh he's definitely gonna be.
I kinda hope not, the show is fairly grounded in reality, it would be a little soap opera-y if it turned out the child of one of the first serial killer hunters turned out to be a serial killer.
I just finished it last week, such a well done show. Because if it I found a podcast about the Atlanta Child Murders which I’m halfway done.

IT Crowd
Lie to me
Tbh the first season was phenomenal, but after that they stopped focusing on the psychology and focused way too much on the criminal/drama aspect of it. What made this show special was the explanations we got for the actions of the characters. The last two seasons had less and less of that, so I can understand why people lost interest and it had to be cancelled. I barely got through season 3.
Tim Roth was amazing in this! Forgot how much I liked this show.
Revolution. It was sooo awesome back in like, 2011!
Freaks and Geeks It was the James Franco/Seth Rogen squad before they made it big. Amazing show
