Re: Cancelled TV Series Woes

The last series cancellation that I can remember that left me hanging was "Vegas." It ended right in the middle of a disaster and we were left not knowing what happened. A wrap-up, two hour movie, would have been nice.

I absolutely hate when I get attached to a show and then it suddenly becomes cancelled. One of my most recent examples is Shadowhunters and I honestly miss the shows, despite the fact that I have read the books and it’s not completely accurate. It was still much better than the movie version and I wish it came back.

I wished "Dead Like Me" and "My So-Called Life" didn't get canceled, those were the best!

I think the secret circle would have had a very large following I was so disappointed when it was cancelled because I was really looking forward to season 2

Yes! Hannibal is exactly why I clicked on this topic. It is just as intellectually engaging as it is sadistic. The character depth and dialogue is fantastic, the plot and the mind-bending themes are creative and flow well, and the gorgeous camera work... God, I love everything about that show! It's brutal, but it has substance. It doesn't settle for cheap shock-value.

Funny enough but I was really sad when Scream Queens got cancelled. I really liked that show, the cast was good and I still hope that one day the show will come back

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 would have loved to see more Secret Circle! I also wanted more Bitten. It was based on Kelley Armstrong's Women of the Otherworld series. It didn't follow the books well, but they actually did a good job keeping to the main themes. I found it entertaining.

Oh noo I've just started season 2 of Scream Queens. I didn't realise it was cancelled :cry:

I also loved The Secret Circle and Kyle XY

The tv series FLASHFORWARD was a series which i really wana see to continue because the level of suspense and knowing the outcome to happend at an exact time eas mind blowing...And the most fun part is the person knows whats about to happen and he is willing to stop it and chnage it but circumstances are always againt him

The series Hannibal, because it got dropped i couldn't find myself watching the last series. It was such a good show and honestly amazing acting, I felt it was very under rated as a show.

I was just talking about this a few days ago. The Secret Circle is not a show that deserved cancellation! It would have been a better hit than Vampire Diaries. Yes I said it.

In recent years I got particularly sad when they canceled Person of Interest and Sense8.
Ciao :)
