Justice League still had legs in it.

A couple of shows after one season

Tales of the Gold Monkey
Battlestar Gallactica the original

I loved Lois and Clark but they cancelled it at about the right time, maybe it had one more season in it.

The shows I didn't want to see end...

Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel - Both shows were great but they had quality runs and the new comic books are filling in admirably.
Firefly - I didn't get to see it until after the season 1 DVD came out so I can't be too sad.
Justice League Unlimited - Best Cartoon Ever!!!
Greg the Bunny - A fun show that Fox never used or promoted properly.
Boy Meets World - Another show with a quality run but it's probably my favorite sit-com of all time. Hopefully someday we'll get all of this show on DVD.

The show cancellation that truly upsets me to this day though is...

Veronica Mars - It was the best show on TV and a travesty that it only lasted three seasons. Theyhad to change season 3 because of the impending cancellation. Dang it WB. Why were you always cancelling your best shows but letting other shows linger years after they should have gone off of the air like 7th Heaven. I apologize to those of you that liked it but it was pure dreck at it's finest.

If not for Big Bang Theory, How I Met Your Mother, Supernatural, and House I would just swear off network TV entirely.

Bryan Fuller's first show "Wonderfalls". Although I didn't see it back in 2004 when Fox aired it. I bought the DVDs last year and didn't want it to end. But at least they gave the show some kind of ending, but there were still so many stories that Fuller and his team wanted to tell their audience.

I hope Pushing Daisies doesn't get cancelled. Poor Bryan Fuller.

I have been hearing that Heros is in trouble, I sure hope not, one of my favorite shows

I think the original Battlestar Galactica was more than one season, I think the spin off only lasted a year, where they came to out time.

I agree about Justice League Unlimited and The Flash

This might not fit perfectly into this thread, but I am gonna post it anyway.
Pushing Daisies (Bryan Fuller's amazing show about a guy who can bring dead people back to life with just one touch) is in serious trouble and ABC hasn't said anything yet if they are gonna order the back-nine.
So, please sign the petition to keep Daisies and the magic alive:

Nope the original only had one season and then one season of Gallactica 1980 which was not the same show and terrible outside of the Return of Starbuck episode.

Dude, to this day I am still pissed at CBS for completely screwing Jericho over and not giving it a chance.

Other shows that got cancelled and upset me:

Studio 60
Commander in Chief
8 Simple Rules
(Even without John Ritter, still a funny show)
Wings - I had never heard of this show until I saw it on TV Land, but I really like it and I believe low ratings might have been the cause for it's ending. Still, it got a good run of 8 seasons, so no real need to fret.

Cheers,

The only one I can really think of is Phil of the Future.

I mean, all my other favorite shows (like SpongeBob and The Simpsons) are still going and other favorites (like Beast Wars) had proper endings.
But the thing that makes Woody special, is he'll never give up on you... ever. He'll be there for you, no matter what.

I was jumping for joy when this was finally canceled. Jane and I watched the final episode simply to make fun of it and celebrate its end. :P

Still, I know what it's like to lose a soap. I still miss "Another World", "Sunset Beach", and "Port Charles". And with "Ryan's Hope" on at 4 am on SoapNet, it's not exactly easy to keep up with and I'm not going to tape each episode to watch later (mainly because after I tape it, I assume I can watch it later, so the number of tapes build up of unwatched material).

It was also a good show....Kinda sex and the city, not quite there, but kinda unique too. Good to see those three chicks doing something of quality, sucks that it got cancelled just as Mary Tyler Moore, goddess of female tv, joined the cast. :(

I found out today the BBC are not commissioning a second series of Bonekickers which has made me very sad. Personally, I thought it was enjoyable hokum for all it's faults. But no doubt Ichabod is holding a "Glad you were shitcanned" party.
