Like people have already said Arrested Development, Futurama, Deadwood. But i also say the original Star Treks, who knows what else would have happened during those lost two years of exploration.
Well i enjoyed Reaper, Pushing Daises started out GREAT but i sort of lost interest at the second season. Malcolm in the Middle, That 70s show, The Loop.
How did I forget about Reaper. I don't mind shows ending but I hate how they get dropped mid plot, be nice if they could give the fans some sort of summary of what was gonna happen.
Not sure if they got cancelled, they just stopped production: Kenan and Kel All That (pre-2000) The Secret World of Alex Mack Are you Afraid of the Dark? Friends Malcolm in the Middle Family Matters Samurai Jack The Beautiful Life Rome
@zityz:
Futurama got cancelled? I thought they were starting a new season?

While it would have been nice to have more seasons of the original series, there is a chance that their existence would have actually prevented the explosion of Star Trek movies and series that occurred in the 80s and 90s. Since the series only lasted 3 years and was canceled as a relative ratings "failure", it was cheaper to purchase for syndication than "successful" shows. Because they were cheap, the syndicated reruns were on all the time in the 70s at a time when television markets only had 4-6 channels (affiliates for the three networks, a PBS, and one or two independents.) This built the core audience for the franchise and led to the commissioning of the movies and eventually to The Next Generation. It seems very possible that a moderately more successful original series could have simply faded away at the end of its run.
