Network and cable TV stations have a way of canceling great shows during their prime, leaving you saying " I was really enjoying that!" What TV show do you wish would have had a few more seasons to run?

Twin Peaks

Highly influential to many of today's popular shows. Scariest and most bizarre scenes ever to grace the little screen.

Star Trek: The Original Series (TOS)

Despite starting it all, it had the shortest run of all.
TOS, we hardly knew you.

Enterprise

This series really started getting good at the start of the 3rd season, I really would have loved to see more history of the federation.

Space 1999

British sci-fi show in the early 70s. Great new viewpoint on many issues, awesome music, solid cast. Spfx were leading edge for their day.

Coupling

One of the funniest shows to come out of British TV in a while. And I don't mean the lame aborted US adaptation. Think Friends with priviledges.

Brimstone

A great show with a lot of promise, and Fox cancels it halfway into the first season. Damn you Fox!

Andy Richter Controls the Universe

Quirky yet real, dark yet hopeful, ARCTU featured a strong cast of "oddball" actors and relied heavily on fantasy sequences.

I think that some of these networks listen to the wrong people when they decide to pull a show. You know the ones that flood the message boards and trash talk the whole time.

(Trolling) Television is the modern campfire. We gather around it's light and listen to stories. Who says what you're flames are made of? It certainly isn't the logs that you chopped, so what is it made of?
