For me it would have to be The Owl House
Obvious answer: Firefly
Unpopular answer: Dr Horrible’s Sing-along Blog.
I for one agree wholeheartedly on both.
Let’s crowdfund Act 4, but done with stop motion Lego.
Dr Horrible had a great ending. That show is as pure and perfect as it can be. Also, Firefly actually got a good ending unlike so many other shows.
I can’t disagree, but that doesn’t mean I don’t want more.
The expanse. Last trilogy is fire.
Avenue 5.
Deadwood.
Firefly.
The good thing about The Expanse is that all of the characters are old in the last trilogy, so we could very well see it down the road with most of the original cast.
Niche show, but Dirk Gently’s Holistic Detective Agency. Holy shit that was a great show and SO well written, but I can see why it wasn’t well received on a traditional TV format - if you didn’t watch from the beginning and keep watching to the end it wouldn’t make a lick of sense. Definitely meant to be enjoyed with a serious watch of an entire series and not episodically.
I would give my left foot for a Season 3.
I just wanted to post this! It felt like they were setting up a really interesting overarching plot with the “backstage of reality”, I wish they told us what their plans for that were.
So many good characters, so many potential plot lines. Allan Tudyk is good in everything he does
Pushing Daisies.
Yes, please and thank you!
Better Off Ted
Such an amazing show. Predicted the future along with Idiocracy
I very glad to see so many Browncoats here.
Best show in the 'verse, 我的朋友!
My series fell off the gorram tv!
Raised. By. Wolves.
Yep. Very good show that absolutely needs to be picked up by another studio. Too bad by the time they do, the kid actor will be like fucking 27. Rip.
Stargate Atlantis
I know not a lot of people liked Stargate Universe, but I would have loved a proper ending there too.
I haven’t read the comic, but from what I hear it’s pretty different from the show.
The only reason I didn’t say Universe is because I didn’t really care for it. The tone was too different for me and wasn’t the Stargate I loved. Atlantis felt very much like SG-1 but with a different setting, enemies, etc, and it was cancelled to focus on Universe.
The writers saw BSG and wanted to make BSG but Stargate. It’s a rough fit hahaha
Yes, absolutely agree.
It had the ol “eh it’s the last season just like writers do whatever the fuck they want” thing happen, and behold, there were several great episodes in the last season.
Firefly
Stargate Atlantis
Stargate Universe (yes, almost all the characters was unlikeable, but I’d still have liked a resolution)
Star Trek Prodigy
Star Trek Lower Decks
The Lazarus Project
Up vote for the Lazarus Project such a well thought out and interesting premise.
The Lazarus project, can second that…
But we got a thought out conclusion to Firefly.
Yes, but it felt rushed. Still better than nothing, but a whole extra season would not be bad now would it?
Obligatory Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles mention.
Pirates of Dark Water.
Yes, I’m old.
I’m glad to know that show wasn’t just some sort of fever dream I had at 5 years old. No one I know remembers it.
Mini rant: I went to an anime convention (ConnectiCon) and was wicked excited to see that Pirates of Dark Water had a time slot. I’d finally get to see the full run!
Then someone had the bright idea to play it in a different time slot to cover something that fell through and so it wasn’t played in the schedule time slot (due to rights issues or something?). I’m still annoyed.
I should probably just find an alternate way to watch it, it’s been over a decade since that convention.
Yarr! 🏴☠️
I’ll use my arrrrchival background to find a copy
Firefly. Specifically, Shepherd Book’s backstory.
I worry it would have fallen off. Now we can always dream of what could have been.
I think it’s would have depended if it were made as a planned story, or open-ended one that ends when it gets canceled. And after Buffy, my guess is it would have been more focused. On the other hand, it was on a more major network, obviously with way less freedom.
Stargate Universe.
They killed it when the show just had caught steam.
They did the same with Star Trek: Enterprise. It finally picked up momentum in the fourth season when Manny Coto took over as show runner, then they killed it.
Its been along road…
Shaddap!
Santa Clarita Diet. It’s not too late (6 years ago) and they could still bring it back for a finale run of episodes or film.
Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. It’s too late (16 years ago) but the show had just started to figure itself out and setup a HUGE cliffhanger that sadly goes nowhere.
SCD was pretty funny.
Sad that show was killed for something as shitty as Terminator Salvation.
I would probably go for Westworld despite it admittedly getting a little out there. If not that, then V.
Yesssss. This! It was only one season from the ending!
The show felt like it was going off the rails for a while but I really wanted to know where it was going and it’s a shame we’ll never know.
