The TV series cancelation that affected you the most at the time.

See, I wasn't watching Firefly, so when it got canceled, I didn't even know. I'd stopped watching Dark Angel, so that one didn't vex me either at the time. With Star Trek, I was too young to grok "cancellation." When the Planet of the Apes series was canceled, it sort of just went away... I was thinking of girls too much at the time for it to affect me, I conjure.
Two cancellations REALLY pissed me off though- The Man From Atlantis & Battlestar Galactica.
More so, the Man From Atlantis. I really loved that gorram show.
So, tell us your tales of TV woe...

Firefly.
It's the only time I actively participated in a "save this show" campaign.
Well, I helped out with Jericho also, but that was mainly because my brother was a big fan.

Same. Unless you count buying a subway sandwich to get Chuck renewed. That worked though. So, doesn't really count as a canceled show.

For me, it was Wonderfalls, and Joan of Arcadia.
For a list, headed by some show we never heard of:

Farscape.
I still have not forgiven skiffy for promising a 5th season, then then backing out.
Bastards.
I would say Firefly, but I was a post-cancellation convert.

Wait a sec - I'm still picking my jaw up off the floor. You WEREN'T WATCHING DARK ANGEL when it was canceled?! Really?!
I'm gobsmacked. Agape. Awestruck. Or awestricken. Whichever.
Firefly wasn't it for me, since I never saw it while it was on.

Rome shouldn't have been too much of a shock. They announced it was ending before the second season even started.
And Southland was saved. It was renewed for season 3 a few weeks back.

Except that I never saw Rome on HBO, so didn't know what was going on with it. :( There's talk of a feature film, but I find it doubtful and don't hold out much hope.
Are you serious about Southland? Don't tease me!
