Underrated Shows That Should Have Continued - Never Forgotten: a Foster's Home Community

emperor26 · 07-16-2007, 07:24 AM

If there's one thing I really dislike, it's that someone leaves a show in a cliffhanger, and instead of finishing what occurred, they (the studio) decided to ended it right there, which is somewhat annoying.

Anyway, here are some of the shows I felt deserve another shot:

Dark Angel-Even though season 2 was ok, I have to admit it did have more questions about the people responsible for Max's creation, among others, and also what happen to some of the character's whose fate remains a mystery. The season finale even hints out what was going to happen next, but it wasn't enough for Fox. I just wish that it could have resolve some conflicts before being cancelled.

John Doe-Another favorite Fox show I use to watch. Very intruiging, challenging and just entertaining. The only thing I really got peeved off was that it didn't went further to the people responsible for John and his intellects, their leader and his wife. At the least, it did have its fans while it was still on air.

Get Ed-What I really like about this show is that the concept was very original, including the fluidity of the animation and the style of the writing. But to my dismay, instead of getting a second season, it just ended without anything resolve, mainly about Ed himself and the fate of Old Skool. Hopefully, Jetix would change their mind and give this show another chance.

I was disappointed when That '80s Show ended after just one season. I had watched it religeously every week, and was really getting into it. I enjoyed the flashback, and remembering the pop culture of the decade of my childhood. I agree it wasn't as good as That '70s Show, but IMPO I don't think it was so bad that they had to end it like that. If they had done some more brainstorming and stuck it out a little longer, I bet it would have started getting better reviews, and it could have lasted at least a few more years. And yup, they left it a clifhanger. They were orriginally expecting to return for a second season, but the summer came and went, and no sign, or even word, of it returning. I remember I was so irritated.

I also wish Roswell lasted an other year or two. It's ratings went down during the second season, which I agree was its weakest season, but they started rising again during the third. But (then) UPN didn't want to renew it, and basically gave it a death sentance. I suppose I can't complain too much, though. Three seasons is still better than two, and I think they ended it really well. It was near the perfect series finale I have seen.

Agreed,

THey should also bring back the Muppet Show, because everyone loves Gonzo, Fozzie and Kermit.

To me this entire thread begins and ends with just one show that falls under the premise of this discussion....

Arrested Development
Network: Fox
Duration: 3 Seasons
Stars: Jason Bateman, Will Arnett, Portia de Rossi, Tony Hale, Michael Cera, Alia Shawkat, Jessica Walter, Jeffrey Tambor, David Cross and Ron Howard as the Narrator.

Synopsis(From Wikipedia): Arrested Development is a character-driven American comedy television series, which ran from November 2, 2003 to February 10, 2006. It is about a formerly wealthy and habitually dysfunctional family. The series is presented in a fashion reminiscent of documentary film/cin�ma v�rit�, with omniscient narration (by Ron Howard), archival photographs, and historic footage.

This sitcom was the one of the most intelligently written shows in modern television history. And it was almost a crime the way it was treated by the Fox network with it's schedule switching and blatant shortening of the shows last two seasons. And if that wasn't enough they burned off the final four episodes in one night and put it up against the opening ceremonies of the Winter Olympics for crying out loud. (Much like John Rambo in First Blood: Part Two, they were set up to fail.)

And needless to say I would so be happy if this show came back on the air even for just one more run.

yes!
Arrested Development is one of the greatest television shows I have ever watched. It, more than any other cancelled show, deserves ressurection.
