What's everyone's favorite canceled shows? You know, they run it for a season or two or even less. You loved it but the ratings were falling?

Mine would have to be:

The Charmings (ABC 1987-88)
Pacific Palisades (FOX 1997)
Going Places (ABC 1990-91)

Action
Sports Night

the fact that both of these shows were cancelled shows just how f*ckin stupid network television is.

Harsh Realm ('99)
Nowhere Man ('95)

Freaks & Geeks (1999)

I absolutely loved this show!

My So-Called Life with Claire Danes was excellent!

Twin Peaks (1990) even though it was starting to get a tad weird, even for me.
EZ Streets (1996) CBS pulled the rug out from under this great show with the amazing Celtic soundtrack after a mere 8 episodes.

Danny in Yorktown, VA.

Normal, Ohio
Flying Blind
Bosom Buddies
Square Pegs

I used to like Viper. The original one that was on ABC (maybe NBC). When it came back into syndication with a slightly modified cast, it wasn't bad, but the original was better.

The Critic

Freaks and Geeks for me as well. I was about the same age as the characters during the same exact time period when the show took place, and it was really nostalgic watching it because I had the same problems as they did. I always seemed to hang out with the geeks and was never part of the flow. I also had my share of parents, teachers or counselors that weren't very empathetic.

American Gothic (94 I think?) - This show was just great and had a huge cult following. CBS axed it because they considered it too 'dark' for their primetime line up. Lived on in sci-fi channel reruns for a while, but weren't that many episodes to keep it going.

I also like this one plus a few more, too many to list:
The $treet (FOX 2000)
Normal Ohio (FOX 2000)
Titans (NBC 2000)
Hyperion Bay (WB 1998)
Fired Up (NBC 1997)
Malibu Shores (NBC 1996)
Models Inc (FOX 1994)
Hotel Malibu (Second Chances Spinoff) (w/JENNFIER LOPEZ) (CBS 1994)
Saved by the Bell: The College Years (NBC 1993)
Second Chances (w/JENNFIER LOPEZ) (CBS 1993)
Just The Ten of Us (Growing Pains Spinoff) (ABC 1988-1990)
My Two Dads (ABC 1987-1990)
The Greatest American Hero (ABC 1981-1983)
Enos {Dukes of Hazzard spinoff}(CBS 1980-1981)
Harper Valley P.T.A. (1980-1981)
B.J. and the Bear(1979-1981)
The Misadventures of Sheriff Lobo (1979-1981)

Family Guy
Freaks & Geeks

Get A Life. I was also starting to enjoy Titans when it got yanked.

"Get A Life"

Chris Elliot is hilarious!

Newsradio. But I really can't blame them too much after after Lovitz replaced Hartman.

And being a big Bruce Campbell fan, I would have to add Brisco County Jr. and the recently axed Jack of All Trades.

I also greatly enjoyed Nightmare Cafe for the short time it was on. Anybody else remember that one?

Titans
Freaks and Geeks
Get Real
Jack of All Trades

and Freaky Links (I don't know if it's officially cancelled though)

The Larry Sanders Show
(Don't really know if it was cancelled or if they gave up when ahead, like Seinfeld).

One show I particularly enjoyed that seems never to have been that big or well-known in the US (or Britain for that matter!) was The Days and Nights of Molly Dodd.

According to the site it lasted five seasons but these were rather short and 3-5 were made/shown by a cable channel.

Get Real
Brimstone
Roar
Medicne Ball
Millenium

Get a life
freaks and geeks

Get A Life
Brimstone
Harsh Realm
Action
Freaks and Geeks
Snoops
Vengeance Unlimited
Family Guy
Good vs. Evil
Son of the Beach (I think it's cancelled?)
Parker Lewis Can't Loose
The $treet
Saved by the Bell
