I remember him leaving
That was awesome. The really fit but a bit wrong one got all uppity and everyone fell out for no reason. It was dark and awesome.

I don't even know why I liked it so much.

That was a great show

( Batshitmentalist is sane for once, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 21:35, Reply)

definitely

totally agree

Firefly, Moonlight, Dead Like Me

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 21:34, Reply)

I loved dead like me. I thought the second season was aces. They knew they were getting cancelled, so went all out to get as much violence and swearing in as possible.

I want to see the movie but I'm afraid it's going to be total shit, it doesn't even have the original Daisy

( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 21:39, Reply)

Don't bother. I watched it and it was very forgettable, although you do get closure.

( fuck shit up the best you never had, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 21:41, Reply)

ah that blows, the only bit I saw was where they met the new guy who gave them PDAs
then and there I knew...sad times
( Lisette von Falcon, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 21:42, Reply)

shame
that was a pretty cool series

That fly-on-the-wall thing about godawful band FMB
that was briefly astonishing in the early-90s.

BBC America cancelled Eastenders
a couple years ago - the only way to see it now is to watch on Public Broadcast Service and it's currently about 4 years behind.

Benders more like

The USA have just gone up in my estimation
"Cancelled Eastenders", what a wonderful couple of words

Gilmore Girls.
Ended with series 7 when it could have run on til they or I had died of old age.

I missed all 4 showings today. Stupid meetings followed by going to the pub.

That last mini series
was brilliant, had me in tears
( Citizen Cavy Admires your passion for conformity, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 22:12, Reply)

The final twenty seconds is seared onto my mind
and I feel a tinge of regret every time I think of it not ending properly. I absolutely realise how sad this is but don't give a shit.

the channel which shows
all the US shows that I watch (mostly cause they are in English), like Two and a Half Men, Smallville and others I don't remember, is cancelling them ALL at the end of February - to make way for shite films that no one watched in the cinema.

Bastards - was good viewing between 3 and 7 am.

Arrested Development
The best written comedy of the last 10 years and Fox canceled it, the fucking heathens...
(Frank., Wed 27 Jan 2010, 23:25, Reply)

this too
they introduced it to one of the digital channels here recently - fucking great fun
(bamboozled Can hear you getting fatter, Wed 27 Jan 2010, 23:27, Reply)

I'm going to be completely obvious here
and say the original run of Doctor Who. Towards the end it wasn't great, but was turning a corner and starting to get half decent viewing figures, considering it was up against Constipation Street.

If anyone had told me then it would end up being one of the most successful programmes on the box this decade, I would have shit in their hat and told them not to be so stupid.
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 27 Jan 2010, 23:51, Reply)

Oh god, where do I begin?
Firefly, of course.
Dollhouse, Third Watch, Terminator - The Sarah Connor Chronicles, American Gothic, Eastwick, Harper's Island... to name a few.

And probably the most annoyingly unfinished ending ever, the magnificent Carnivale.

I hate networks.
