Shows That Shouldn't Have Been Axed!

Watched an episode of Now and Again last night and wondered why the hell did this get canceled so early on? Got me thinking about other great shows that have been canceled before there time so I thought we could have a simple thread on our top 5 shows that got canceled when they shouldn't of! Make a list and explain why!

Here's mine in no particular order...



Firefly - Nuff said really

Now and Again - A great little series with a really good cast and a good script, just wasn't given time to flourish into a TV spectacle!

Twin Peaks - With out this there would be no X-files, Northern Exposure or Lost! Granted with the second series was not as good as the first but it's still a hell of a lot better than most things on TV back then and at moment!

Arrested Development - One of, if not the funniest shows on TV! Makes me laugh every time I watch it! The comic timing from all the cast is just perfect!

Angel - A worthy successor to Buffy if not better in some ways! Much better than the last few seasons of Buffy! and just as they changed the dynamic, introduced spike, culled a few cast members and gets the highest viewing figures for the series, they have to go and cancel it forcing them to try and tie up 8 years of story build up and continuity into 3 episodes!

Why I ask you when shows like this get axed, shows such as Charmed and Andromeda survive? Why? It's truly a crazy world we live in!
