    From those not mentioned by the OP I have two. The Dana Carvey Show and Ben Stiller Show. Both awesomely funny but too loco for network TV I think.

    I forgot about those shows. Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert were on the Dana Carvey show. And that's where the Ambiguously Gay Duo came from.

    in total agreeance.


    lucas black was awesome in this. first time around on tv i only had 2 daughters... next time on DVD i had a son the same age as caleb. quite a different perspective 2nd time around especially considering my son was the same physical type.. the mannerisms were there as well.
    I loved that show. It was great. The network seemed to do everything they could to kill it.


    i think the premise freaked a few people out.

    It has been said a few times but, Lucky Louie. No way that show should have been cancelled that quickly. Fucking hilarious and his new show blows.

    Always planned as a miniseries.

    Do miniseries usually go 2 months? I read that HBO and another channel had planned on picking it up, but it never happened. NBC had to end the show early with a finale. I think it was on at the 10pm time slot which obviously hurt it's ratings.

    I don't believe it was supposed to be a mini-series

    caught the pilot episode of My So-called Life on sundance the other night. man that show was really well written and acted. such a shame it lasted for as little amount of time as it did. the music in that episode was so cool.

    I just remembered last night: Farscape...they like all other SciFi shows spent so much money on make-up/costume...after a year or 2 gone, they came back and did a 'answer the questions' movie...and STILL left the end open... :twisted:


    This! I absolutely love Farscape! One of the best shows to air on television. I rewatched the entire series + miniseries on DVD last year and it holds up really well. Great show, great cast, great chemistry between the leads, great animatronic characters, great villains, I can go on and on about this show! If anyone hasn't seen it and you like sci fi or fantasy this is a must :lol: I was so bummed when this was canceled..i remember being involved in the fan campaign to bring it back. 8-)

    Other than this, I would add: Firefly, Better off Ted, American Gothic, Arrested Development, Terriers.

    Is that the one about a group of people that graduated together in the 80s and now their lives get all mashed up and intertwined together?
    The joy of life comes from our encounters with new experiences, and hence there is no greater joy than to have an endlessly changing horizon, for each day to have a new and different sun.

    Close...it was a group of people in their mid-20s who were in the same 3rd grade class and their lives got mashed up and intertwined.

    Wasn't the best show ever, but I enjoyed it and thought it could grow into a really good sitcom....

    Firefly of course :)

    And if they cancel Game of Thrones before Season 4 (the third book being split into two seasons) it will be a crime.

    The Tick! 8 episodes (plus a 9th unaired one) were not nearly enough. Patrick Warburton was great! I loved the scene where he ate a fortune cookie and pulled the fortune out of his mouth and said, "A secret message from my teeth!"

    I love the guests though for the first two episodes - Larry David and Henry Rollins. I'm not a fan of Paul Reiser at all, but it sort of reminded me of Curb (but not as good of course)

    and how a show like Outsourced is still on TV, but they cancel Paul Reiser is beyond me
