I miss cancelled shows & list favorite shows

sd-7

I guess I'm a sci-fi person, so...I like that kind of stuff and it's rare to see it in mainstream TV. In memory of the following shows that got axed:

Heroes

Dollhouse

John Doe

Firefly

Dark Angel

......May you rest in peace.

Favorite current shows:

Star Wars: The Clone Wars

Smallville (still trying to figure out how that show has gotten 9 years without him becoming Superman yet, but when they're good, they're good)

Caprica (Battlestar Galactica prequel, quiet and haunting at times, but then, so am I)

I rarely watch TV anymore, and the shows I watch either end or get cancelled, usually. This year, Heroes and Dollhouse got the ax.

Heroes was a show where I'd probably suggest there was a lot of untapped story opportunity, though I loved each season and waited patiently for them to even try to match Season 1 (they never did, only came close in their final season).

I got into Lost on DVD, but am too far behind and don't want to be spoiled by finding out what happened at the end. Ironically, a random e-mail from a shopping site I go to literally gave it all away in the first paragraph. Somehow, after dodging Entertainment Weekly and all other media, it just figures that something like that would happen.

Used to watch '24', but they got too brutal for me to handle, and after they killed off one of the most beloved characters in the series, I just couldn't watch anymore. Now that that's ending too, I will probably to catch up someday. Could use the adrenaline.

I definitely miss Battlestar Galactica. Few shows can operate on that high a level, in my opinion. Ah, well.

Anyone miss that cop show, 'Life', on NBC (I believe it was Damian Lewis and Sarah Shahi who were the leading stars on that)? I thought that one was going places, but never made it past the second season. Ah, well...

I'm rambling. Just testing the waters to see if anyone else actually liked these shows or if I'm alone and that's why so many of 'em got cancelled in the first place. That, and it beats talking about my personal life again. Which is actually a lot better right now, all things considered. Buh-bye!

Firefly wasn't really given a chance.

With Lost finished, I've got Fringe and Human Target as the only shows I watch.

I am a sci-fi fan too. I loved the first season of "Heroes". After the writer's strike, it went downhill for me. I just couldn't get back into it. I remember "Life". I loved that too. The actor that played the lead role in "Life" also played "Jonesy" in the adaption of Stephen King's book "Dreamcatcher". . . I loved "Firefly" too.

I watched the old "Battlestar Galactica" not the new one. I can barely remember the series. I do remember Lorne Green playing the role of the captain.

One of my favorite series now is "Sanctuary" and "Warehouse 13". I'm waiting for the new seasons with anticipation! I, also, love "True Blood". True Blood is not sci-fi but I like it anyway. Third season begans June 13. I can hardly wait for it to begin!

I like some sci-fi too. I miss Farscape. I loved the first few seasons of the X-Files. Particulary the episode, "Home." I like the Clone Wars too, and have been meaning to get it on DVD. There's like three or four seasons now right?

Another favorite I miss was Samurai Jack. They never did do a proper conclusion to that series. The new Diana on V is hot too. I like her better than Jane Badler.

The Clone Wars wrapped up its second season this year. I can't imagine them doing a third season without stretching even Star Wars rules of logic, unless they did some post-Episode III stuff.

Isn't Morena Baccarin from 'Firefly' on 'V' now? She was awesomely hot.

Figures that nobody's heard of John Doe--a guy who wakes up and has no memory of who he is, yet an encyclopedic knowledge of everything else, which he uses to solve crimes, something like that? The guy from Prison Break, the other guy, not the skinny one, was the lead?

Been curious about 'True Blood' only because Anna Paquin is in it, and I've thought she was hot ever since X-Men. Not into vampire stuff, though. And don't have cable anyway, and would offend wife by watching something like that, and probably wouldn't watch it anyway unless Anna Paquin is on the screen. Would probably just channel surf till she was back on the screen. Hmm....is that bad?

Well...one show I still have yet to see on DVD is that animated show about a black superhero, Static Shock, that was...probably around in, what, at least 1999/2000, somewhere around there? I found it very odd that every other animated show on that network (WB) was released on DVD, even Freakazoid! has gotten DVDs, but not Static. I'll just leave it at that, but...just an observation. Yes, I also like cartoons.

sd-7,

I seem to recall that you don't watch/like R-rated stuff. If this is so, please steer clear of 'True Blood'. If not, carry on.
