Well that kind of sucks. While the 2nd season did stall a little bit, it was still entertaining and got better by the end of the season. The "cliffhanger" as it was certainly left things in an interesting position, but I guess we'll never find out the fate of the Malloys. 

I think the writers would have been able to do a great job of alluding to the current economic mess we're in during the third season. The Malloys and all their talk of the American dream and reaching for the brass ring seem to be reflect the same reality or worldview as US financial institutions.

the show hustle on bbc is decent. if you are looking to fill your need for a con man/grifter show then check it out. it can be a bit cheesy but overall its good. ive only seen the first season so i cant speak for the other 2 or 3 seasons. im pretty sure its available on dvd too. it doesnt have much of a continuing story line either...so you wont get burned if its canceled. they just pull off different cons each episode.
also i thought th riches was a great show and was really waiting for it to come back. there were a few slow eps last season but it really did pick up towards the end. oh well at least i have breaking bad to look forward too.

You can also look forward to "Leverage" on tnt in december. It's about "the con", the pilot was awesome. Another great show down the drain without a conclusion! I expected more from FX.

I think canceled shows like this should at least get one more 2 hour episode to wrap everything up the best they can.
I don't have FX so I haven't seen season two yet, but I enjoyed the heck out of season 1 on DVD.
