Yeah but fox did order a renewal for the nr 5 on the list, Family Guy. Due to high sales of DVD and such. So we all know what to do, the precedent has been set!

It doesn't really say anything new, I just thought that it was good that the media is still talking about how excellent Firefly was and how stupid it was to cancel it a year after cancellation.

cool site. tempting to ruin my enjoyment of these angel reruns, but i must resist!

also, the firefly summaries are missing an entry for objects in space. i believe that episode aired, right? they had summaries for a couple episodes that did not air, so where is objects in space?

Huh. Obviously, they don't mention Veritas: The Quest. It wasn't even around long enough for anyone to notice. Four episodes, just before ABC went to 24/7 "War On Terror" coverage.

I think that list is pretty comprehensive though I do agree the Tick animated was finnier- I loved Warbutron's perfoamcne... and it's a shame the show didn't at least get a full year. I also think newsRadio's overrated.

The show they missed even honorably mentiooning at the end that was also another short lived Gem (and sadly NOT out on DVD!) was ABC's 1998 dramedy, Cupid. Excellent show with Jeremy Piven and paula Marshall. But again, too smart for it's own good.

I thought I was the only one who liked Cupid.
By the way, was it too cool for you too, to find out that the creator of the Tick also writes for ff. Ben Edlund is my biggest fan.

I LOVED Cupid. It was easily one of the most clever and funny shows I'd seen in a long time. I mourned that loss for a long time. I luckily still have them all on tape but my tapes ain't gonna last forever dang it....

I thought it was ultra-rad Ben jumped fomr the Tick to our beloved Firefly as well. I wasn't sure at first, I had to do the almighty IMDB to make sure but yes it brought a smile to my face....

I think you can argue Sliders had a good run (but then so did Homicide) but why no mention for Police Squad? A TV show which got little support from the network because it "required too much attention from its viewers", cancelled before it had even made a full season, became a cult hit then resurrected as a massive hit movie series.

Yeah, like that's ever going to happen again...

Nice to see some other shows other than FIREFLY on the list. I have a list of shows as long as my arm that got royally screwed for one reason or another that I wish stayed on the air longer.

Some shows I wish stayed on longer was the new version of THE FUGITIVE (always thought the story of Kimble worked better as a TV series than as a movie), BOOMTOWN (a cop show that broke the standard structure, and had, without a doubt, the most complex, fascinating character on network tv, David McNorris, played flawlessly by Neal McDonough) and FUTURAMA (only lasted about a quarter of the length of THE SIMPSONS, but was funnier and more enjoyable than SIMPSONS have been in the last 8 years.)

But one show I thought should've lasted longer than it did was this short lived ABC drama called WONDERLAND, which was set in a mental institution. Only lasted two episodes, but was a sublime experience. I'm wondering when that'll finally hit DVD shelves.

Ah, SportsNight! I am still cursing the bastard programmers at ABC for taking that away from me. I taped almost all the episodes, but would dole them out to myself sparingly because I was afraid of wearing out the tapes and never being able to watch it again. Then, quite by accident, I found the DVDs in Barnes and Noble. Now I'm able to watch it as much as I want, while still cursing the network for axing it. (Now what else does that sound like?)

Packer fans welcome.
All others tolerated.
