I was sad when sense8 was cancelled as I was such a huge fun and there was so much more story to be told. The possibilities are infinite with this series and hopefully it is revived again some day.

I still miss Desperate Housewives. Once that ended I haven't watched a series regularly. That series, I never missed an episode.

Me too! I loved Farscape and The Invisible Man. My Friday night staples, back in their day.

My sorrow is compounded by the recent cancellations of Once Upon a Time, The Vampire Diaries, and Grimm. :cry:

Yet, boring reality shows like Big Brother continue to remain on the air. I don't get it.

I've not stopped wishing they'll continue Teen Wolf... I didn't start watching the series immediately it came out but after sometime my friends convinced me to watch it. When I started I couldn't stop, waited patiently for a new episode every week till they decided to stop. :(

Heard of The No.1 Ladies' Detective Agency? It was this powerhouse feminist series set in Botswana. They just did one season and ended on a cliffhanger.

I LOVE this show...and I still keep ranting about its cancellation to anyone who'll hear me.

I didn't even let myself finish Firefly when I discovered it was cancelled. I didn't want the heartbreak!

I was disappointed when I heard that The Secret Circle, The Tomorrow People and to a lesser extent, Star-Crossed were aired with only a single season. All had wonderful plots and were widely liked by a large audience, so why did they cancel them? Does anyone else think these series would have had a good following and could have been big hits?
I only recently discovered Star-crossed on Netflix and really enjoyed the first season so I was disappointed to find out there was not going to be a second one. Another one I felt the same about was the show Between.

Farscape was a great show. I found it on Netflix after it had been canceled. I binge watched all of the seasons available.

Some shows I wish had continued are Dead Like Me, Firefly, and Longmire. They were all canceled too soon.
